Strength or vulnerability?

A fab portrait, as usual, from you. Well done.

Strength.

Your boys won last night but we won’t dwell on that.

nice one

Strength…Or gathering strength ,.... great work!

It totally depends on what she wants.
Personally I believe that woman are vulnerable only when they want to be and then they do it so well.
Except in a relationship that is against the norm ie: abusive, women hold the cards to cover just about everything. Always have, always will. No, I don’t have anything against that I just have the guts to know and admit it!!!
AND I don’t make money out of the BS…....... telling women that they are second rate !!
Of course it’s strength, she is showing her vulnerability to gain a position :)
Sorry Cath I’ve just read some feminist crap and I’m just getting a little sick and tired of the negative female BS on this site at the moment and you just happened to ask a valid contemporary question while I am still annoyed, actually I’m pissed off but not at you :) xx

fantastic portrait!

Great – both portrait and question! Clearly the answer is “both” – the boundary between them is fluid.

Have to agree with Miron on this one. The answer is both, for me, and your portrait conveys this really well.

One of your greatest images

Gorgeous portrait, and a great title that has really made me (and others it would seem!) study the image and think about it.

very pretty!

i say vulnerability… either way… awesome shot..

What a beautiful portrait – Love the tones and the darkness and the tight cropping. I see both strength and vulnerability in her.

Thought this goes with you image..??

determined which is a form of strength. Great shot by the way

Wow this is lovely, Lot’s of undiscovered strength within herself I think

Brilliant work.

love the intensity of tones here.. superb work Cathleen!

beauty thru the lens

strength

Cathleen this is a superb portrait. I love the cropping…the composition, the lighting, the colours, the way her hair falls over one eye….it’s just fabulous. I have to be boring and go with the consensus…she portrays both strength and vulnerablity…they are intrinsically entwined…like yin and yang.

great color and light. Like the gritty treatment

Very beautiful shot, thoughtfully cropped, and I’d say strength, let you know when she looks me in the eye!

Excellent image I say both there is strength in being vulnerable = )

What can i say beautiful face expression.. awesome colors..
So professional… can you keep me as trainee photographer .. i am kidding.

Why not both of the two? Well done.

Wonderful shot!

Both :) Strength and vulnerability. Great image
