Masterful mixture of light and shadow, pose, wardrobe, model and textures to create a pleasing, sensual pose. Everything works in concert with no distractions to nitpick over.

this version is better than B&W

Thank you! I do prefer this colour version - which is strange for me as I'm usually a monochrome freak ;) Maybe my tastes are changing to the colour world for a litte while. Always good to push oneself into new realms... M :)

I prefer the colour one too.
For some abstractions, I've seen it work well. Sometimes I wonder though why we see in colour when we want to photograph in b & W.
I like the way you do your own thing. Copying does not lead to much.

Thank you, Peter. It is fascinating the psychology of why we shoot in colour and/or BW. And yes, I always try to do my own thing and try not to get too distracted by 'well meaning' creative feedback. I am certainly influenced by many great photographers, but hopefully I have also developed my own style as well. I've only been shooting for 4 years.... lets see where I am at in another 4 years time.... M :)
