Hi Zbigniew, Thank You very much. I am glad you like it!

very nice work again with an elegance that makes this photo so pleasantly

Hi Radu, thank you very much. Always a pleasure to hear from you.

wonderful image, This very sharp model stand up well from the dark background with the nice red bokeh effect, ciao Giangiorgio

Hi Giangiorgio, Than you very much for your visit and compliments. Black and red goes together well.

An admirable result. Modeling on the figure is superb. And the hand pose does not look forced at all but gentle. I do not agree with the value added by the so called bokeh effect. It seems to give the model a floating effect whereas a location in space is sometimes better for a sharp realistic pose. Of course this is an artistic choice. The use of red gauze is not overdone. Meaning the emphasis on the figure study is not overshadowed by a kind of prop. Overall, a photo one can call a great success. I like it a lot, Andrew. Aloha, Gerry

Hi Gerry, Thank you very much for the compliments and thorough analysis. I had a long debate with myself if floating is ok or not. I included a bokeh that I photographed separately using Christmas tree lights. So you have a point. The reason she looks floating is that she is sitting on a glass table.

I enclosed a photo of a floating model so you can compare both.
