I always hate it when a good looking woman is unhappy. Great catch Duncan, her look says it all.

@Angry Buddha: Thanks Sean, I wish I hadn't upped this actually though, It shows her state as it was and all that but I feel a bit uncomfortable with it now. I reckon she wouldn't be too happy with this and I didnt really think about it when I upped it. But I am now. Bugger.
This is a very disturbing image of a very unhappy girl (she's not another masked model, is she?) Keeps us looking and looking and wondering .... great shot.

@Sidonie: Cheers Sidonie. She was knackered. seemed totally exhausted. I think maybe I should have left her in private, we all get in this state don't we. She didnt seem aware of the shot...but anyway, I reckon maybe I should have left her to herself...
Nice capture Duncan. She certainly doesn't look like a happy camper.

@Francis: Not happy no!
Is she depressed, strung out, or just damn tired?! MB, all of the above, eh?

@Daniel: Think the latter more than anything, although the latter can admittedly lead to the former two. Hope she got some rest.
What a face and what a character. Excellent portrait.

@Michael Zhang: Cheers Michael.
I know how it feels to be in the last train, I can understand this lady. Nice portrait!

@Alfredo J. Martiz J.: Thanks Alfredo!
Plaintive or lost in her space would be the way I'd describe her. There's always that tension between wanting to post people at when they've lost their composure because they look interesting that way, and wanting to allow them to maintain their dignity. I know how you feel about this one. I wish her a better tomorrow.

@Damon Schreiber: Aye, tiredness can change a face to the nth degree. A good nights sleep and Im sure she'll be right as rain. If I see her looking her marvellous best, Ill ensure to post as means of 'atonement'.
A look of "I put all this effort into today and for what?"....leaving us to ponder what on earth happened. Somewhere between despair and disgust. "Forlorn" is the word I'm looking for, I suppose.

@Mike Cash: Cheers Mike! I like that reading!
Wow. Really like this one. Great expression.

@Craig Persel: Thanks Craig!
I'm glad you did post this one, though she seems to be down in the dumps at the moment her expression is a real one . You can't always capture somebody at their best, but you do capture them well !

@Fred: Thanks Fred!
Definitely in desperate need of a hug, that's for sure.
