Dolphins welcoming Nereide rising from the water

Working on a series of ancient and modern myths. This is the first ancient myth. One of the Nereides rising from water to play with the dolphins.

 

Composed with three photos and applied various effect including some aging.

Julio, A.K., Richard, Alix, thanks for coming to this, and glad you liked this interpretation: really appreciated.

Lovely work as usual Paula.

Thank you, Alec.

Paula, great idea with echoes of Botticelli's Venus. I feel maybe the three shots have slightly different tonal qualities so they don't merge as successfully as the Gaia image. I wonder if the background would be better with a lighter tonal quality? (I don't know, you understand - you are the expert at this!). A fascinating series with all sorts of possibilities. I shall look out for future additions. regards - Colin

I will try,Colin. I darkened the background on purpose, but, maybe, a bit too much. I also have a version in color, and a version, very aged. This one was the one that cinvinced me more, but will try to lighten the background. Thank you for your feedback: much appreciated.

Your innovative creativity is endless. I like myths. Good work again.

Thanks, Cherlyn. The myths are urging expression both in poetry and photography/digital Art at present.

Oh Paula! The myths of heroes like Thisheas, Iasonas, Kadhmos need to be studied very very carefully! If someone can discover the deepest of the messages inclouded, will not need fearther social education in his (not so her :-) from Pasifae and later :-)) life. Remember that the strongest message is at the very first parts (chapters i should say?) of each myth. I love this image! 7/7
