David Harris
Just beautiful!! Love the obvious power he has but the gentle way in which he holds her is beautiful!
Tony Ryan replied
Agree David,
I think it is important that men are conditioned to open more to their hearts rather than adhere to a tough and controlling stereotype.
David Harris
Very much so!! We can be strong but open and careing with out it diminishing our sexuality! Real men are intouch with their feelings!
Rosie Red
very cool
Tony Ryan replied
Thanks Rosie, glad you like it.
Mary Campbell
Very well done indeed.
Richelle
This photo makes me feel protected by a mans loving soul when I look at it. I would love to see you do a photo of a beautiful African American women…I will keep a close eye on you…smile
Tony Ryan replied
Hi Richelle,
I adore African American women but have not had an opportunity to photograph any here in Australia. I find that they carry such a deep grace and if produced with humility could be so very empowering in a photo.

Love the color difference. Really sets each skin tone of.
A very seductive suggestive shot

Richelle
Hi Tony,
I get the feeling you are the perfect photographer to take that beautiful empowering photo. Your work is sensual…leaving the eye wanting more…i’ll be watching.
Smile…
Tony Ryan replied
Hi Richelle,
You never know. Hopefully fate will deliver me a subject to create with soon.
Richelle
I am a firm believer of fate and karma…your beautiful Nubian Princess will come to you soon…eyes wide open…smile
Tony Ryan replied
Hey Richelle,
Actually thought of you on Tuesday. Was at a local restaurant and the most beautiful dark girl was there with her boyfriend. Think they were perhaps South American. Perhaps my model is getting closer.
EnVee
a true work of art! wonderful lighting and skin tones, great form and composition! well done
Richelle
Hi Tony,
That’s the thing about beautiful black women…we come in so many different shades of beauty. You have many oppurtunities to work and play with your lense and create many enticing photos.
If you think it…Karma will send it…what is attractive to your eye…
Richelle….smile….
Tony Ryan replied
Wise and inspiring words Richelle.
Richelle
Hi Tony,
I look forward to seeing more of your beautiful work…one day you will suprise me…
Richelle…smile

Absolutely exquisite photograph. The steroetypes are certainly challenged. The concept of holding a beautiful person, not with control, but with compassion and obvious care, evokes a merging of affection with respect/admiration/intmacy/ and disinhibition. masterful work indeed. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Tony Ryan
Thanks Peter,
Love the words you have used here. I think that the only control we should aim for is inner emotional understanding. Once we are secure inside we do not seem to have any desire to control externals.
Persimmon
the contrast of skin tones is very good. I also think you have captured what you were after
Sandra Fisher
Sensitive and beautiful you seem to have achieved en emotional understanding of life and people. Your art is inspirational!!!!
Tony Ryan replied
Thanks Sandra for this and all your other beautiful comments. I really do have great passion and vision for my photographs and appreciate that you have sensed this.
Best Wishes Tony.
witchy

Tony Ryan replied
Thanks Ruby, much appreciated.
Glen Allen
stunning image excellent message.
Tony Ryan replied
Thanks Glen. I think that it is great that more guys are becoming accepting of being gentle and finding that being this way is strong.
RavenSoul
I really like this! Its everything you wanted to express Tony. Instant fav!
Tony Ryan replied
Thanks Raven, the more I search myself the more I believe that a person can only be strong when they respect life with equality.
David J. Vande...
Wow… this is perfect. As an artist I find it a struggle to find woman that capture grace and beauty. Not to say its not out there, because I see it daily and its there… but its just a challenge to get them to pose for me. Those that are interested….. im not!
Your work is great!
Tony Ryan replied
Thanks David. I agree with you very much. The aesthetic of the attractive woman has been greatly tarnished in my opinion. As such looks with humility is rare. Looked at you site and love what you do.
Best Wishes Tony.
David J. Vande...
Tony, I have started to draw this photo. Actually I am working on three drawings at once. :)
Since I stop ever so often to scan the process for my proposed book, three drawings at once gives me time to be creative without interrupting. Again, thanks and keep in touch. I love your work… we’d make a great team! LOL
Tony Ryan replied
Thanks David. Hope you are enjoying the process. Be interested to see if you get a connection to the subjects energies as you work with the images.
Jacinta Mallin
Lovely image :)

VelvetGirl
Beautiful and sensitive.
Scottgtr
I like how the male figure appears to be stronger than his female counterpart by showing his biceps, but on the other hand, is knealing in submission to the female..still, they both show equal in strength.
Tony Ryan replied
Thanks Scott,
Glad that the shot depicts equality for you as I feel this it is so important for humans to interact this way.
Best Wishes Tony.
StRaWbErRy

Gerard Rotse
Very nice take Tony. Love this shot.
Tony Ryan replied
Thanks Gerard, it is a favourite of mine aswell. Think we men would be so much more powerful if we treated beauty with respect and gentle hands.
