Thank you both. I might be carried away with this one and not realised that it would have a meaning for me only. The first idea was to represent the feminine and the masculine energies with the curves and the straight lines. The second idea was to use the heart shape on the top third of the picture and the (almost) diamond shape on the second third : love is split in two (again female/male) and the diamond… well…

Classy.

I just wonder about the blur : looks like being unnatural and computer enhanced.

I think you’re right Gerry :

Hi Sean,

You’re right, the pose isn’t natural : I wanted the body to draw a ‘S’ and to echo the curve of the curtain. At the editing I was less sure for the hands : as you mentioned, one looks to pop out from nowhere but the overall result is what was expected and it balances the dark dress and background.
The picture was taken at F/1.8

Here is a more look alike the original picture. The colour is on purpose : the modeling light of one of the flash has been used to warm up the skin.

Hi Chris,

The picture was taken at f/22.

No sink no pants, ok guys. I too think the hand is enough to close to composition. About the skin texture, I prefer a picture with it although it’s not the trend of the moment.

Thank you for your help, I’ll soon post a reprocess picture.

Thank for confirming my doubts about the sink – will try a square one… still axed :( sorry Clami

Sorry guy, making you blush was not the point. The lighting has been set so the viewer get focused on the model’s face while the rest of the picture was low key.

Anyway I’m very happy you like the composition.

The bright line is on purpose : I wanted a high key tone in the picture to draw the body shape. Unfortunately the transition from midtone to highlight on the leg is too hard… will check the master file.

Thank you Martin. You are right about the grain, I just noticed it has been washed out by the Jpeg and the smaller size :(

This one looks like more the prints : http://www.flickr.com/photos/patrickamharc/5075231027/” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;
