Complexity

Nice lighting here Tracy, and it looks like you have a very contented model!

Thank you Michael.  She was, shall we say, relaxed for this one.  I guess that means this is vulgar and not art.  But it is B+W, so....  

I bet none of them even click on this one.

Good expression, I like the play of dark and light tones also, including the parallel lines, bravo. 

You're letting the "idiots" get to you Tracy (as we all do at times).  Listen, the a**h**** that make these kind of comments would know art if it came up and slapped them directly in the face!  You just need to consider the source and dismiss them, and continue on experimenting and pushing and discovering your niche!

Another person on another site the other day left a message that they just love my style of photography, and that I also vary my presentations.  They couldn't have made a more meaningful comment!  I've worked all my life to establish "my style", but I still didn't even know if I had one or not!  

Now, John Peri has a "style!"  I know his work by the thumbnail before I even open it up, along with many other photogs!  Now I am glad to hear that there's at least one person out there who feels I have a style too.

Hang in brother, and keep at it!

You are right of course Michael.  I'm glad you like this one.

The lighting is so very flattering here. The atmosphere feels one of intimacy.
