  • John Conway

    John Conway

    aptly titled, delicate in light, complexion and even the balance on the small seating.

    enough nuances in the shot to stop it being symetrical. I think the texture work used as a vignette is an a excellent choice. Very tasteful photography

  • Mel Brackstone replied

    Cheers Johno, the photography is indeed fabulous, marcus is a wonder! I just added some texture and a little jiggery pokery to make her look delicate :)

  • Bruce  Dickson

    Bruce Dickson

    A perfect image … ‘a’rtistic without the big ‘A’ ... simplicity without looking too contrived. A great ‘Not trying too hard’ appearance and outcome! Perfect lines, tones and subtle treatment and choice of textured surrounds. A redbubble benchmark for a touch of the artistic without losing a desirable natural essence! Well done.

  • Bruce  Dickson

    Bruce Dickson

    ... Also a true and worthy celebration of the human form and humanity in its natural state. Great achievement.
