Aglaia a very emotive photograph which connects us all to her feelings and mood! Wonderful work and the black and white makes it easier to differentiate whether the little ego or her higher self are speaking! Wonderful!S

Striking image
aglaia b replied
cheers larry, thank you! ;-) xox
carolinewood
so do i – it’s more striking and creates lots of mood (does that make any sense?) haha! me trying to know what i’m talking about…lol! if it looks good i like it, that’s what matters right? it’s all good
aglaia b replied
you’re so cute, not only in face and in personality too! yes it makes perfect sense. there are less shades of grey and the black and whites stand out more which make it overall heaps more moody and really good too! lol thanks caroline ;-) xox
carolinewood
