Painting picture amazing light and colors Michael,best regards

Thanks for the encouragement, Michael. Just try the photo.net for the 1st time and u are my 1st commentator. Still exploring. Like your porfolio as well. diversified and diligent. The composition and lighting is very special that bring out a special mood to this photo. Apreciate!!

I like this one a lot, for obvious and not-so-obvious reasons. I love how it evokes a Twenties mood and emotion without pastiche or parody. Your model poses very well--this one must be hard to do. The general softness of the light and the odalisque accessories really make the shot. (Although the necklace looks just a bit heavy?) I also like the little henna(?) marks very much.

 

I have to add that I normally don't like the 'belly dancer' tchotchke stuff in photographs, but you and she make it work very well.
