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.

    Love how this has come out Michael. Great concept and look at how huge my boobs look! You really are the master of PhotoShop ;)

  • Michael Alesich replied

    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.

    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

    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.
