Gunnar, comming from you the compliment has extra weight and significance! I am very honnored....

Another wonderful work of social commentary Bob!

Aging gracefuly compared to ungracefuly fighting off age.

The "young" woman like a pharaoh of old, mummified and holding symbols of our age: a "child"surogate and "social life" substitute.

I absolutely share your fascination with Calatrava and send my highest compliments for this amazing interpretation!!!

Thanks for commenting David....

Thanks Douglas, I'm glad you like it!

Thank you Pekka, I appreciate you comment! Luckly she got her mothers beauty...

Elke, Julio, Amir... thank you very much for your comments! I am very happy you like my photo...

There is a beautiful line in the Mahabharata: "The princess walked into the room wearing a dress that reveald little but indicated much..."

I personaly like artwork that leaves plentiful space to the observer to use his imagination and obviously you are among the people who share my vision.

Also, just to clarify, this photo comes directly from the camera with only a slight increas in color saturation.

Thanks once again....

Thank you for your comment Xavier!

Thanks Ruud, I really appreciate our comments!

Pep, Richard.... thank you very much for your kind comments!

The light in the garden at that moment was exeptional and thankfuly I managed to take good advantage of it...

Cheers, Nick

Jerry, Gregory, Michael... thank you very much for your comments!

First to disperse the mistery, this is a detail of my bath-tub...

Now, my decision to go vertical in this photo was motivated by the feeling that in landscape the composition seams very "heavy" and static.

The difference is like between the fall of a stone and a leaf. Here your gaze starts from the upper empty part and descends gently to the right and then to the left finaly settling gently at the bottom. If you turn the photo clock-wise (or v/v) your gaze just falls heavily from the top to the bottom taking away all interest from the empty areas.

I do have various other crops of this same motif and will post some tonight so you are very welcome to compare them to this version.

Thanks once again...

Cheers, Nick

Thank you very much Xavier! I'm glad you like it...
