Jean M. Laffitau
Very well captured!
Phil Deaves
The best of your three postings…in my opinion. This one has a more voyeuristic quality. The left hand is well caught. I can see the strength in her fingers.
Persimmon replied
Many thanks Phil for the your detailed comments!

Very moody and very brave to cut the head off, it really turned out great!
Rosina Lamberti
beautiful work any cellist would love to have this in their portfolio
Persimmon replied
thankyou Rosina..but this isn’t a cello its a tenor viola-da-gamba (popular during the 16th and 17th centuries)
Michelle Boyer
Great image
kimberleigh sarah

dairygirl08
So beautiful, what a lovely capture
Fiona O'Beirne
I love your cello series.
NadiaTurner
beautiful photos and awesome instruments :-) love it!
raae
I really love this one! Its great how cropping out the face draws shifts the focus to the lines of the instrument… and i also like how the shape of the instrument mirrors the shape of her body. The veins in her wrist are a great contradiction to the overall strength of the image. Its beautiful!
cassandrarose
great image.
Puyravaud Fréd...
Magnifique, cette viole de gambe… la pose est superbe et le traitement en B&W sert tout à fait l’image… bravo !
Persimmon replied
Oh! Merci beaucoup. Il est vachement fantastique pour trouver quelqu’un qui connaît cet instrument superbe. Il n’est pas possible que vous comprenniez l’importance de vos compliments. Pardon pour mon Français terrible.
Puyravaud Fréd...

David Harris
Is there anything more alluring than a beautiful woman playing the chello? Great work!
sharra
i have never seen a cello like this. it looks very olden style. is this really a modern cello? i have a cello and it looks nothing like this. i find cello to be a bloody sexy instrument for women

Great composition and beautiful play of lines
Thank you for your visit.
Nikki Trexel
i agree with the commenter who said that when you can’t see her face, you are more drawn to the elegance and style of the beautiful instrument. perfect shot.
Persimmon replied
thank you. sometimes a face has too much personality…it was the instrument’s personality which needed to show
Lena Prehn
atmospheric. one of those shots that makes you wish youd taken it!
Persimmon replied

HenkStolk
Nothing more erotic in this world than a woman playing the cello
Persimmon replied
yes there is… a woman playing a viola da gamba! ; )
HenkStolk
The way a woman holds the cello between her legs, gripping and squeezing with her left hand, while cuddling it with her right..
ambient-1
Lovely! This photo is in motion! Well done!
Persimmon replied
thank you, yes it is, but you can’t play the instrument like this!
James Birkbeck
i like it. i don’t think i have ever actually seen a viola-da-gamba before. this might be the first time i am actually seeing one!
Persimmon replied
this one is my tenor….it is tuned sort of like a guitar but a bit different, so it’s gcfadg…. the bass is quite a bit bigger and tuned dgcead and I have an even bigger bass with an extra string adgcead. there are some famous Canadian viol players who visited here recently – Les Voix Humaines
secretagentman7
Who is that girl ? It would be good to see her countenance .
Persimmon replied
her face is all around the place….you just need to look a bit…
and who might you be??
secretagentman7
I shall look. I’m a secret agent. You can call me Jason .
Persimmon replied
well go snoop then!
secretagentman7
