"From 1001 night"

It is a fine piece, held together by the reds, with a dark mood about it which is offset by the purity of Gina's unthreatened expression. It would get 10s if I were a number freak. Well done.

I truly like the sensuous mood of this and the expression. The background light and textures is fabulous as well.

You really mastered the darkness very well in this one - barely visible details on the legs, just enough, and all the attention goes to the eyes, hair, arm... And the body's curves left in the dark add a question mark to a sensual and mysterious image... Certainly less scary than the eyes in this picture wth the cross...:-) Another great piece...

Great Lighting! Are you painting your own backgrounds? Love to know about what lighting

your using here.

The red light in front and at the background I paint with a laser pointer- but I had to split the beam with a small piece of crashed metal foil. So you are able to make not only lines with the laser...

This one really speaks to me. I've tried the laser pointer idea you described earlier, but I keep either overexposing and blowing out the detail in the background, or I underexpose and the background is barely visible. How do you get so much texture? Is it a muslin or canvas? I am using provia 100 also, but in 35mm format.

Jorg..... Appreciating your fine works is one of the most rewarding moments of my time. Thanks for sharing your images on Photonet.

This is the best foto in this folder ... in my opinion.

Great! For me it looks like oil painting. Nice composition, interesting colors.

Your technique is inpsiring.
