Contemplation

From my archives.

Feedback appreciated.

Very nice composition.  Beautiful model.  Flawlessly crafted.

What more could we ask?  Perhaps the subject of her contemplation...

Food for thought...

I like it when you dig through your archives. This photograph is quite amazing. All the angles work well together and oppose the fluid form of the cloth. I also like the bright colors of the same cloth and her lips against the fairly neutral colors of her skin.

One minor nit, the placement of the chili seems odd. Of course if it was lower-right it would have wound up on the tip of the knife.

I love this image. The composition is just about perfect and the colors from the red lips on down simply work. A strong diagonal always works for me and this one is very strong. The inclusion of the knife is wonderful and finishes the frame. Bravo and Cheers.

Dave, This is one of these images I like myself and so it is nice to know othersa appreciate it. As for the subject of her contemplation, "What am I doing here." perhaps. Thanks!

Mark, Kind words indeed! As mentioned, I do like it myself. As for the chilli, it really shouldn't be there. I may break my habit one day. Thanks a lot.

Owen, I had a funny feeling you would like this. Needless to say I am glad you do. Thanks a lot!

This is much more formal/abstract than most of your work. I particularly like the colors and the model's body lines. The knife adds something to the form, but does not create an additional narrative.
