Almost timeless....what century is this?

Wonderfully done, congratulations.

magnificent

Enzo-

It's your photo, but personally I think it might be better if she was holding a burning candle herself in these Candelabrum pic's. It could symbolize prayer, or even potentially Eve in the sacraments of the church.

I assume of course that you're catholic...if not, it could be even more meaningful that way.

Cheers

Lovely photo...

Not only does it seem like the photo is "caught in her private world," but it could also be a voyeuristic shot.

Much more than meets the eye.

I like the photo....it looks like a film still from a Wim Wenders film or something...Although I can't quite decide if I like the flash reflections on the top of the restrooms....maybe it's disturbing....I don't know.

Maybe I wasn't clear, I appologize for that...negative opinions are not what I'm trying to avoid, rather if one has a negative opinion, then that opinion should (like a positive one, etc.) be well-founded, with some thorough explanation....when someone criticises me without explaining, I can't learn from the critiscism....pointing out flaws is not a problem, rather not understanding or ignoring that those "flaws" may be intended is childish...if the photographer had shown the woman's feet, then she would be too small in the frame, and people would be bitching about that as well...I also don't think he was being lazy with his feet, rather that he only had a second to shoot, and that's just how it came out of the camera....I won't add too much text to this discussion, other people should have room to speak..Lawrence

In my first foray into photo of the week discussion, I hope my comments won't be deleted or that I'll become some sort of sacrifice chicken. I feel that people who discuss why this or any photo isn't photo of the week material are essentially commiting what my italian friends call mental masturbation...there is no point to the discussion, the photo is where it is, and instead of bitching about it, just talk about the photo itself, and not its greater place in the world. I'm sure there's some of you who would take some of the greatest works of Rembrandt or Rothko and say they're not good enough for the Met or Louvre.....Let's discuss the work itself, and don't mud sling at the photographer! Also, the discussion of why the photo now sucks because there are no hands or that there are some "snot-bubbles" seems a little childish to me.... Have you thought of the fact that the photographer may have only been able to take such a photo because of the absence of a zoom lens? When one shoots quickly, one commits mistakes that can sometimes make the photo better, sometimes worse...now let's discuss it in that vein maybe? Anyway, my three and a half cents.... I like the photo....
