Beautiful David!

Lovely teaser.

Hen, I have always been told less is more. Not everyone agrees. 

Andrew, She is.

Raymond, I prefer the positive space.

Timothy, As I said to Andrew, she is.

Jatinder, I am not sure what you mean by teaser but she is lovely.

Thanks a lot everyone.

Interesting and nice work...!!! Regards, Olaf

Thanks for stopping by.

A very interesting approach to composition and it really makes one look at the entire frame.

It is probably best to keep looking at the left side of the frame... unless you like my little chilli that is. Thanks a lot.

Always thoroughly enjoy reading the commentary on your work - and I really like this photo too.

I often thing the comments are more interesting than the images. Thanks for the look and comment.

Superb use of negative space David. As you know, I love this kind of cropping. The profiles of both her face and breast are excellent. Superb BW conversion.

-I like it a lot

I had a funny feeling you would like this. However, I wasn't 100% sure. Thanks a lot.

I love the minimalist approach here, David. The look on her face leads me to think there is something going on, out of the frame to our right, that has her concerned. Although normally a fan of jewelry on skin, I find the necklace a little distracting in this image. The composition and use of the large negative space is wonderful.

Superb! I love the delicate minimalist quality of this image...  Wonderful play of light + dark.

Mark, I am sure (or hope) if you look at this long enough, the beads will grow on you. I am certainly glad you like the other aspects of this image. Thanks a lot.

Martin, Very kind words. I am not so sure I deserve them. Thanks for making them.

David, by teaser I mean, as the word used for the preview of a movie, book, or show, showing/revealing a little bit to arouse curiosity and interest. Indeed she is lovely.

Thanks for the explanation.

Lovely and perfect image, my...always dear friend!

Perhaps not perfect but it is kind of you to say so. Thanks.

There is a hint of mystery here. The viewer feels something is about to happen.
