Lilith

Ivory Flame

London, June 09.

first of all... the brilliant color of her hair is a wonderful harmony with her very well done makeup...

the calm dark water, green environmental touches compliment her skin and hair and all set off by this elegant black dress as if emerging magically from the depths completely dry... awesome!

her delicate hand placements and pre-occupied gaze

such a wonderful portrait really excellent

thank you for sharing your work!

Of Adam's first wife, Lilith, it is told

(The witch he loved before the gift of Eve,)

That, ere the snake's, her sweet tongue could deceive,

And her enchanted hair was the first gold.

And still she sits, young while the earth is old,

And, subtly of herself contemplative,

Draws men to watch the bright web she can weave,

Till heart and body and life are in its hold.

The rose and poppy are her flower; for where

Is he not found, O Lilith, whom shed scent

And soft-shed kisses and soft sleep shall snare?

Lo! as that youth's eyes burned at thine, so went

Thy spell through him, and left his straight neck bent

And round his heart one strangling golden hair.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti

A really fantastic shot... This is pure beauty... Everything in this composition works very well... Fantastic work...
