sensual stuff
Bill Proctor
Lovely sensual , sexual image…!
Jaeda DeWalt
I experience this as the ecstasy of being the vessel for music to travel through, for life force . . .
The sensual, sexual, spiritual and creative all coming together
and exploding into an orgasmic release of musical vibrations.
The colors electrify.

Lovely image…...........great combination.
Robert O'Neill
Is she having sex with a violin?
Persimmon replied
No! And it’s not a violin…it’s a treble viola da Gamba…one day I’ll get to write a description in at the top!
Interestingly, there was no intention to make this a sexual image. The concept was simply beautiful images of the instrument in context with a figure. If there was any idea other than that it was simply the relaxation after a musical performance….but this is what showed up in the camera after the shoot! It was a surprise to all involved!
Robert O'Neill
I stand corrected!! But in some ways it seems more erotic than many of the contrived pieces one sees on redbubble. I must just have a dirty mind
Persimmon replied
I agree. (not about the dirty mind!) It is a very powerful image and far more erotic than lots of very obvious nude pictures. But apart from the power of the image I am particularly pleased with the colour, the pose and the framing. It is also interesting to see what is lost in the crop for the card. Without that mouth the picture doesn’t quite have the same energy
Carine Boustany
Love the colours
Persimmon replied
thank you. yes I think the colours might be one of those “once only” things. I’d like to try them again but maybe it wouldn’t work, we’ll see!
Ellen
Beautiful colors!
Persimmon replied
thanks Ellen, I love them too. If I ever find a viola da gamba in mouse size I’ll let you know!
Ellen
Oh, thanks :))
Mike Paget
Wow! Gorgeous!
Persimmon replied
thanks Mike did you see the new one? It’s been long enough coming apologies (theorbo dormi)
Rachel Leigh
It is sexy but I also see the musician who has given her all in a performance and is trying to relax. Her relationship with her instrument is evident in her posture and hold. Very artistic.
Persimmon replied
thank you so much for seeing that interpretation…indeed this was one of the ideas
Roy barry
This image has so much latent sexuality, it really is erotically, very powerful.
I absolutely love this shot.
Persimmon replied
thanks roy. We will forever be trying to get that feeling again! (and we weren’t even trying for it in the first place!)
Roy barry
I think that therin lies the secret!!!!
DarkHotel2
love the way I feel there is a deeper hidden emotion in this shot – great work!
Persimmon replied
yes, there is. I have a secret desire to have this image on a massive billboard!
Miron Abramovici

John Hooton
Tan and turquoise work really well as does this tantalising view point and the implied ecstasy of the player.
Persimmon replied
