Anadyomene

My own take on Boticelli's "Birth of Venus"...to be taken with a pinch of

(sea) salt!

Outstanding image. Colors and lightings are astounding. Regards.

Brilliantly done: Light, colors, composition, her posing. She looks so self-conscience it's almost scary.... 

Very creative! Even to the wind blowing her hair.

Powerful image.  She is getting lovelier each year... thank you .

How truly delightful. I love the dreamy atmosphere conveyed by this image in which the young model fits in perfectly. I think that there is something of the Chamelon, in all of us.  We all adapt somewhat, knowingly or not, to our environment.  The sweeping motion of the drape behind and flowers that appear as if carried by the wind, is reinforced by the movement of the hair and the expression of the young lady. It's interesting that, alike my photo that you just commented on, the backward tilt of the head leads to a semi closure of the eyes .. a wonderful photo, bravo.

....Thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment. Your thoughts and impressions are much appreciated....and yes it's true what you said about the parallel (albeit very different styles) I didn't realise...
