I don't care if she is looking or not, the shape is very nice. I like the wide angle view with everything in focus. The pose is very compact and the tonality very soft, natural. I like the way the rock texture works with the skin. 6/6

This is a great photo with a lot of drama in the story. It gives the feeling of a fallen angel. Why did you not crop the top of the mountian so that it is not visible and add drama because of the undetermined height?

Nice intense look, the only thing that bothers me is that his right fingers are cut off... is there a reason?

I find this photo to be exceptionally seductive... there is a feeling of motion of how her foot moves over the piano keys...I can almost hear the sound! The colours are very nice, her skin makes her look a little like a musical instrument. Congratulations!

Very nice photo! Thank you, your work is very inspiring. Very nice soft images from Russia. I'm adding you to my interest list.

Esparto, or esparto grass, also known as "halfah grass" or "needle grass", Stipa tenacissima, is a perennial grass grown in northwest Africa and southern Spain for fiber production for paper making. The fiber makes a high quality paper often used in book manufacturing. First used in Great Britain in 1850, it has been extensively used there and in Europe, but is rarely found in the United States because of the cost of transport. It is usually combined with five to ten percent wood pulp.

 

The "Spanish" grade is usually regarded as the higher-quality, while the "Tripoli" grade, from Africa, is the lesser in quality. The fibers are fairly short in relation to their length, yet do not create any significant amount of dust. Because of the short fiber length, the tensile strength of the paper is less than that of many other papers, but its resistance to shrinkage and stretching is superior, and the paper is a well-filled, dense paper with excellent inking qualities. It also has very good folding properties.

 

Lygeum spartum, a broadleaf perennial in the family Lauraceae, is also used in combination, and is also sometimes called esparto grass.

just like the texture a lot

I find this photo to fall in the category of 'special' as it's an odd scene that looks natural. I like the body expressions of all the characters. Great work!
