Breast Intimacy

Hey Tanya... love how you've composed this. Very nice and it has an intimate feeling to it. Regards, Ramsey

Thanks for your time/comment. Warm regards, tanya.

Beautiful comp. and tones 6/6

Thank you Ramsey and Chaba, it's also one of my recent favorite photographs. Warm regards, tanya.

I hadn't seen this earlier. An excellent shot once again. A powerful image, well done.

Extraordinary image, Tanya. This is one of those rare images that captures the viewer and keeps them there. Everything about this is perfect: The soft atmospheric light, the smooth tones, the smooth bodies, the wonderful curves on the subjects. Their closeness completes the mood you're conveying so strongly. And the shadows are just sublime. This is an image for a gallery, no question. :-) David

This is also one of my most favorite recent postings. I am very happy to hear you both find it beautiful. Hmmm! Maybe, i should enter it for contest???!!! :o)

 

Warm regards,

Wonderful, intense, shot!!!

This works amazingly well as a most unusual composition with a big blank space at the centre and all the interesting features distributed around the edges, so your gaze wanders round and round in circles taking in the lovely shapes and tones. Beyond that, the emotional level is fulfilled by the closeness of the male and female bodies, each taking on complex roles - he the protective shield but socially calmly in the background, she more forward but turned towards him, both at the same level. A wonderful representation of an ideal (if quite traditional) human relationship.

 

Best wishes,

 

Jonathan

 

PS. My only tiny suggestion is to make the lighting on her fractionally brighter to balance his larger share of the space.

Carlo, your porfolio is full of life too. You have the ability to capture someone's essense very well. Your photos are full of emotions and souls, and i admire how you are willing to travel far to photograph.

 

Jonathan, you continue to amaze me with your translation of an artwork (and i agree, sometimes, the person who photograph is not even awared of the sub-conscious messages.) Your wealth of knowledge in the "id" is incredible.

This is an unplanned photo (just like most of mine), i will follow your suggestion to see how it turn out:o)). BTW, thanks for visiting again. The book that you suggested is short but very deep. Warm regards,

 

Tanya.

It is interesting to consider what happens when you take an unplanned photo - my feeling is that most of the photo really is planned unconsciously: the circumstances do not arise by accident, we somehow contrive them to fulfill the plan, the lighting and arrangement of the subjects may seem to "fall into place" but actually we go on adjusting them until the picture becomes possible; we think we compose the frame intuitively but this means we keep moving until we see in the viewfinder the image we have been carrying within us ... and then CLICK! ... we know immediately that we got it, near enough. Finally at the print stage we gradually fine-tune the crop, the tones, whatever necessary to make it feel just right ie we can receive back from it the messages we wanted to put in (even if these are never spelled out).

In a way, it doesn't matter if nobody else ever sees it, as we can gaze into it - like a window to our dreams. But it is even more exciting when our subconscious story resonates with someone else and they say "Wow, I feel that too." - then you know that you are not alone.

Best wishes, Jonathan

...you really make me think about my "id" or the subconscious desires now. It's nice to have someone to remind me to understand about myself through my subconsciousness. I am glad that someone can identify with my photos and connect to their "hidden" desires. Warm regards, Tanya.

Very good composition and crop. What I like here also is that you included the chins.

Sensual, Beautiful and original! Doug
