This here image is not a portrait yet it is a person in natural light. The girl's apparel makes the viewer(s) wonder if this is from another time period, perhaps 100 years ago or so. The young woman wears a half saturated orange dress that appears to match the saturation of the reflection of the greenery at the top of the image. The green around her, the water, and the colorless water reflection of the sky make the girl pop, but enough to keep her distant from us. The whole image looks toned down in color and not fully saturated completely. The twigs on the left add depth to the picture that keeps viewers from approaching her too much, yet the twigs are slightly out of focus that causes us to ignore it and keep looking at the young woman. The image could be considered middle ground focus. I feel uneasy looking at her because she looks like she came here to be alone. Maybe the bridge represents the only thing holding her up in hard times right now. To me, the bridge is a separation from her and the water. The water might represent her murky troubles. The viewer's head is slightly above hers, and we are invisible to her. Are we prying or invisible? The angle also allows a line to be from the girl's hands down to her toes down into the darkness of the water below. I noticed that her dress has an immense shadow on her right that becomes darker and almost disappears into the black water below. Even half of her face is lit by sunlight and the other half shadowed. The eye is immediately drawn to the girl, and I go specifically to her skirt or face or any place on her lit up by the sun. The skirt is also draped to her left, which means she most likely walked to her current spot from her left and sat down. But, the bridge is at such an angle that my gaze sweeps to her left, even though she came from there. Why was that choice made? Why did she come here, besides to think? I also cannot tell what she is looking at since the camera doesn't show it. Can we not see it on purpose? Are we to interpret her thoughts? I think we cant see it because she is absently staring at nothing and thinking. Above her, the reflection of the greenery and itself look like sound patterns. Perhaps this was intentional by the photographer. If that is the case, maybe her life is very noisy and she needs to calm down and wash away her troubles for now, or leave them behind her. Not only that, but there is a tumbleweed behind her, being carried by the water. Is the photographer trying to predict that she can't run from her problems? Maybe the photographer wants us to think about our own problems.
