I See You / 24 Dec 04

I took this last week, but then my Computer crashed and it took a while to regain my pictures. Below is the unmanipulated version. Was not sure which one I liked better.



Sony DSC-W1


other sizes: small medium original auto

I prefer the B&W version for several reasons.Color sometimes gets in the way of the images mood, especially in portraiture.The soft tones in this version,for me convey a gentle,classy yet bold seductress.The light upon the curvaceous tresses is more complementary and less harsh, and thus more in keeping with the other tonal values of the images.For me, intense sparkling highlights somehow quell the burning sultry flames of romance.The weave of locks among the eye,nose and hidden lips is admirable artistry.Very good :-)

The B&W version seems to be a reminder of your excitement, and somehow retaining a present tense feel to it.
The color version is all about the excitement you will have, about to have or always will have.
Very well done

Both are lovely, but I like the colour only because I can see the lovely colour of your eyes. Merry Christmas, Susanne.

Excellent SP Susanne, well composed and lit.... the lighting effect from the blind is effective as well
