mysterious elegancy

I like your selective focus and limited depth of field.  Nice.

I like the theme. This feels like erotically charged but that eroticism has a commercial and seedy tone to it. The first gaze made me think of cabaret and then I thought of the Amsterdam Redlight district. Your lighting has such a controlled feel to it even though the viewer really wants to believe that it is perhaps street lighting - hence my Amsterdam assertion - that I want to think about this over and over without ever being to reach a decision. When a photograph does that to you one knows it is a good one.

One post script, I love your processing and could have tolerated an even smoother feel should have chosen to go down that route.

A very interesting piece of work.
