Eyal Nahmias, 11 months ago

Wonderful image. usually high contrast images detract from the quality of photograph, but in this case the extreme contrast only adds drama and enhances the composition. A very evocative image that let the viewers complete this story through their own imagination

Paul Vanzella, 11 months ago

love the extreme texture and the way the tree is almost lifting her up, like a massive hand… beautifully done – this is a killer image with tone, texture and compoition Paul! great work!

Jason Moses, 11 months ago

Suzanne German, 11 months ago

gee paul – this is lovely1 i like the way her legs are awkwardly twisting and her left arm is sort of bent and tucked behind her back….blending in with the movement in this amazing tree trunk!

She seems suspended in air – very clever – really gives it a surreal feeling..the b&w really works it well too!

the one underneath is a real ‘Alice in Wonderland’.....shot…the green hazy glow that flows through….magnificant couple of shots Paul – really lovely work!

Rhana Griffin, 11 months ago

Ok… so this is going to sound weird, but I’m going to blame my comment on copious amounts of caffeine today.

This brings to mind giant from-a-dreamscape elephant legs, and then Sam brings to mind King Kong with the loving way she is caressing these legs of the giant elephant…

Ok. Shutting up now.

Paul Louis Vil..., 11 months ago
