Yemaya's visit

I rescanned this slide in colour at better quality than was possiblepreviously but there is little colour information and I wonder if ithelps to bring out the atmosphere compared with the original http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=463004" target=blank>B&Wversion I posted a few years back.

Comments and crits. are welcome

a lot of room for imagination :-)).interesting!

Quite striking! and the reflections on the shoulders are a nice touch! It's a feeling of mystery and acceptance! Stylish and beautiful! Thanks for sharing. Doug.

Very beautiful Image !!! :) Tina

Thank you for your comments.

 

I forgot to mention that Yemaya is the African godess of the sea and the moon.

If there is such a thing as "shiveringly beautiful"; this is it!

I like this color version better, Jonathan! I had felt your b&w version lacks somewhat in tonal range....

A magical night for sure, Jonathan. Love the atmosphere, the moon reflections on her shoulders.

Very nice effect. Do you recall your exposure information? Was this scene actually moonlit as it appears? (You mention using slide film, which is (1) slow, and (2) unforgiving, so I'm curious.)

its like heaven falling to heal...

Wow....That's it...you have a fan for life.  Lead on....great work. Never mind 7....you get a 10.
