Marvelous Indeed!

nice pose and focusing... good bw too

This nude. There is sensuality, and a sense of inner peace and beauty. The white cigarette perfectly focused, the faint and sinuous smoke leading to a soft, obscure ashtray, they all act as a reminder that we are deep into a fantastic world. Sweet surrender. Technically, in addition to the substantial skill of the artist, there's all the superiority of film over digital.

Anca.  As usual, you have really done an excellent job.  I agree with the other commenters about the depth of field and focus (both very well controlled).  Languid is what comes to my mind.  Very cool.  Dana...

Very sensual shot. Great use of lighting and tones. Congrats.
