Carlo, you are amazingly talented. It can seem that my remarks are biased, which is not the case as, "La flatterie est une fausse monnaie qui n'a de cours que par notre vanité", as said so rightly François de La Rochefoucauld.

This shot instantly brings to mind the magic of Man Ray and other classicists of the period, though none were as gifted as he was. The pose and texture, not least of all the prominence of the shadow and it's role in the storyline are superlative lessons to have learned from him, though usually so poorly repeated by others. A magnificent shot once again, what else can I say. 

Interesting lines of light and shadow!

Very well done, my dear friend...! Compliments also to your model!

I am so flattered, despite the wise statement of La Rochefoucauld, I can live with this sin on my shoulders!! ;-D.

This work is part of a long series taken years ago using heterodox equipment, like a nude tungsten common lamp on the floor level, a chair, and a linen, all against a flat white wall. Shadows contain much more than just one meaning, and I love this mystery.

Thanks a lot my friend, she is a great performer as a model, with an impressive capability to create characters and atmospheres. 

Hi Carlos,

This is  a masterful presentation, with much meaning embedded in the image.

A fine accomplishment and a marvelous model to assist you my friend.

Best Regards, Mike

I'm a bit blush, your words are so encouraging!

As you can read above, this is a "homemade" work, with those bizarre "photographic" accessories that one can find in every home. Thank you very much my friend.

Thank you for your triple plus
