A NYMPH PLAYING WITH A RED THREAD

while the satyr clicks the shutter...

Sorry, it's my nature...

A delightful image, it's joyful, colourful and unpretentious .. closer to the fun moments that one experiences in life than to any deliberate purpose.

That said, one must never underestimate simplicity which is often the most effective way of gaining impact.  The design is perfect, the threads have a life of their own and the model which I almost never comment on is a dream, her smile and carefree posture in particular. We click the shutter as rightly Carlos says, but the model often makes the picture.  Complicty however is what people share together, as in this picture. 

You're right, complicity, and sometimes a kind of indifference from her side, ignoring the photographer and his camera, just feeling free and alone playing with the imagination, or, like here she is, with a red thread.

Thanks a lot my friend.

I concur with John Peri, and will add that the red string creates some very strong leading lines, all converging near the model's face. Kudos to you both!

You're right, the red thread leads to her head, curious effect provoked by a naked young woman playing like a kid. Thank you very much for your visit and your words!
