Make Believe

Make Believe by Michael Alesich

Make Believe

I walked down to the garden and found an angel entangled in the trees. It looked like it had been caught, but sat plainly waiting.

If I wait long enough I will escape

was all it said.


Thankyou to my model, Jo and to my helpful assistant Jessica

    I like the design of this piece – the radiating cloth drawing focus. To this there is a great contrast of the light and the darkness that surrounds Jo. Great Stuff.

    Yes, her expression really makes me wonder where her thoughts are…
    Such a strong composition and the framing is spot on!
    Superb work guys! :D

    The design of this image is really nice. Like how its dark on the outside yet toward the ‘angel’ it has a kind of light coming off it. Basically everything the first post said. Yes Jo, your boobs do look huge

    Jo, would you like less large boobs, I haven’t increased them as you may think but I can try a boob reduction if that would help.

    First, to the photo: Radiating white sashes are a brilliant foil for the foliage grit and sombre tones. Jo’s eyes are scary and curves perfect. Yes, the framing is right on, too.

    Boob reduction is a nasty thought. Banish it.
