Breathtakingly and divinely beautiful work Mel.
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 :)

Me seeing things that aren’t really there again dept: that back has a face in it.
Eyes in the shoulderblades and a pucker-up-babe mouth in the spine.

Davidknot
You do such wonderful work…...Congrats…...
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
... Also a true and worthy celebration of the human form and humanity in its natural state. Great achievement.
LindaR
truly beautiful ~ xx
