Inside/concentration

Thanks for viewing.( rehearsal)

Thanks

You caught da Caravaggio´s light. It is a "deep" image with a wonderful scene. The contrast of light and dark area is impressive and gives some kind of dramatic mood. I like the image a lot.

It is a great compliment, thanks a lot, as Caravaggio was one of the greatest painters of his time( begining of 17th century), and 'Chiaroscuro' ( light/shadow) was one of his well known skills and  innovations. Thanks again!

I'm glad that you felt the drama of this strong light, and shadow play.

Moody, beautiful interplay between the light and shadow. I see an internal struggle that can be seen externally in the tension in her ars, the shoulders, as she stairs down without focusing on what's outside, but rather her thoughts. I like the exposure of the dark, how it's not pitch black, how you can see subtle variations in the shadows. It's a lovely photograph.

This is a really good one, Pnina, The contemplative demeanor is very well established through the use of light and the slumped posture of the figure. It echoes the work of some of the great photographers of the early 20th century. The softness of the tones and mood particularly remind me of Edward Steichen.

Thanks both of you.

Mark, nice to meet you at my work, and read your impressions it is a nice written feedback.

Jack, between you and Gunnar's feedback I'm doing fine....;-)) as I find your analogies in between 17th-20th centuries...;-))

Thanks all of you. I'm very glad that you understood the lighting in this one.

nothing much to add to Gunnar, Mark and Jack - besides the wonderful light I love how the diagonals of her arms vaguely mirror the diagonal rays of light - an amazing photo.

Absolutely brilliant!  As others have said, this echoes the work of earlier masters.

Thank you both for understanding the special light in this one and writting your impression !I very much appreciate it!

Adan,great to see you here again!

Pnina, in addition to the wonderful light on her arms and chest, I really like the rich warmth of the sepia tones. When combined with the down-turned head and the fore arms resting on the cushion, it has a very spiritual and emotional impact. 

Wonderful !!

Hi.
well showed her Interal state pain and suffering, low lighting angel and sepia mood is improved receive this feeling from the image. 

Thank you for this presentation my friend.

Pnina, much has been written about the fascinating use of light in this image. I need not repeat. You have carved a niche in the gallery of Great Masters , with this classic image. To me it appears that she is in deep concentration and in commune with cosmic consciousness. This going to be my most favorite image.

Best regards Pnina!

Pierre, thanks as well for your nice comment.

A gorgeous capture, Pnina and indeed deserving of all the praise written above. I can't really add much to that, except to say that I too really love the introspective mood you captured --  a very expressive photo... The lighting and  handling of tones was wonderfully done. In my opinion, it is one of your very best compositions, Pnina. Bravo to you!  Kind regards, Marjolein

A work of art, dear Pnina, great job, abrazos. Mari

Thanks both of you ! I will tell you the truth... it was photographed quite some time ago and I forgot about it, and than remembered and looked at it with new eyes...!;-)) the responses are great!

Thanks  you, and all of the others.

Pnina, I commented but must have not pressed SEND.  This is lovely, inspiring and makes the corporal form elevated into something sensual and spiritual.  The lighting is lovely.   The tendrils falling over her face are a delicate
