Thanks for putting this back, Terrence.
To answer one of your questions, a mood of pride and a slight feeling of superiority come through as a mood.
I do agree with what some of Svend and MM said. The sugestion I have to make is a very simple one, though: re-angle the camera slightly, so that your subject is placed in the lower left of the frame, and not slap bang in the middle. That might get rid of some of the converging verticals on the left, as well as some other distractions creeping into the fram in that area. It would also include more of the painting, which I guess has been included because it says something about your subject.
:)

I thinks it has Angelo, I browsed through the photographer's portfolio and did not find it there either... Pretty disappointing to read all the great critiques but not be able to see what they are talking about. K

The picture made the front page as featured critique, but I can't see it in large size. Has it been removed?

Very beautiful portrait and atmosphere in this splendid interior. But tell me, is this Alisa Mudge or somebody which resembles to her to mistake there?
Bravo, drilan

I read the whole "line comment" from Svend but I disagree on his take - if you look at the wall, the panel is leading you to your subject and work and the floor seems to be leading the eye into them (both in the layout and the framing of the carpet and the furnature) - that's my HO. As far as the composition entirety - I love the shot. Feels very regal - her leg forward is an assertive stance yet her clothes say she's rather laid back and unpretentious. Well done on this shot - it can give anyone a story to read. Is she an artist or a collector? She is rather wealthy without showing off too much (wood paneled walls like this are rather pricey and the gradour of the room...). She's happy without a forced feeling. The colors and lighting are lovely. Well done.

It reminds me of an old masters portrait. It shows a lot about your subject. Well done!
The only thing I don't like is the wall hanging...it's too bright and gaudy compared to the rich and elegant tones of everything else...but, I suppose she made it and wanted it included! Never argue with a customer!

I got a very clear impression of the subject from your photo, and I think you did well to put her in close justaposition to her possessions. They obviously mean a lot to her--chosen and displayed carefully. I wonder if the dog is getting his mood from her? He seems rather suspicious of you. She has lots of self-confidence, doesn't she! You can tell that from the stance. I think it's a fine portrait. I'm glad the Staff Choice award brought it to my attention. (Congratulations!)

Thx MM and Svend, I can see your respective points about the various aspects of the composition and so forth, your suggestions will be in the back of my head when im shooting in the future of course. Now, the question is, did my execution fail so miserably that the theoretical telling details of the image (expressions, poses, etc) don't say anything, is no mood conveyed, etc etc, you get the idea. No defiling done as such but thats what im more concerned with right now, thx for putting the time in

Very straight-forward approach to taking a picture but maybe not straight-forward enough. Perspectivally, there are an awful lot of lines at work: the plank floor, the carpet on the floor, the wall with its panelling, the "colourful" painting on the wall, the chest of drawers and even a wooden column... The lines are a jumble. Might have been better to straighten things out, align her against the wall, maybe position her face against the painting, adopt a slightly low camera angle, work with the colours in the painting contrasted with the colours of the Persian carpet by adopting a downwards angle... Don't know... One interesting thing is that the colour of the dog's fur works well with the colour of the floor illuminated by the sun. Also the fleshy colour of her hands contrasted with the fleshy colour of the "Rubinesque" nudes in the painting. Well, I hope I didn't defile your space... Rgds, Svend

This is a rather telling portrait of the lady. When looking at this I can imagine being back in the Norman Rockwell days. The colors are outstanding. It really is like a painting... that's why I thought of Norman Rockwell, I believe.
This has nothing to do with your photography, except maybe composition.. but I wish she was not standing under that ummmm what is it? A quilt? She keeps pets and quilts and does all the crafty things?
Marvelous stuff!
