Not so much about a girl as it is about her twins, but great image nonetheless. I like the PP work a lot, too.

I'm not a fan of the decapitated model.
If that was me, I would not be happy with the emphasis on the wide hip and the black flattens the twins right out. :(

I like it, it leaves you with a sense of mystery about the girl, bit to blurred maybe.

Add another to the missing head club:confused:
Had her head been included it reminded me of the 70's:cool:


you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.

I like it... the light and PP are very good. It has a "girl of your dreams" vibe...

I don't comment on your images much Q, but it's nice to see you go back to these abstracts rather than those bunnies. I thought you lost your edge when I saw that :p

I may not always know what to say about your images, but I always look at them over and over because I find them intriguing so you're doing something right :)

I'm sorry to say it, but I think you guys are jesting with TheLetterQ. This image is a throw-away based on focus, composition, and exposure. Here's how I got there....
The dress is under exposed having very little detail. The white balance is funny and renders an unacceptable skin tone. There is no explaination for the composition. I just can't see any signs suggesting that the shot was intentional. Sorry.

Ok. Ok. Ok. I apologize for my previous negative comments--I didn't know the image was meant to be an abstract. I can't recognize abstract 'cause I'm not experienced enough to understand it.

I think that your sentiments are very close to my own thoughts.

We all need a break from the regular routine now and then while our creative batteries get recharged, so the bunny hiatus is understandable. I hope that was not too heavy of a Freudian plug for the Energizer Bunny. Who knows -- some day I might even do an abstract myself (but, it probably won't be intentional :D ).

Look up his previous work. It will become clear.

One image like this is a mistake, a series is a style... :)

Regarding missing head, am I the only one to notice when the model's head is twisted all the way 'round so you can't truly see her face? Kinda gives me the feeling that she doesn't want to be recognized.

Do you mean a full 360° or 180°? :lol:

From the look of where her hair falls on her shoulders, it appears that her head is turned about 30° to her right so that she is facing the camera more directly.

TLQ's images always seem to have a hook that pulls me in to study them and think about what is going on.

I really like the quality of the image, but not the image itself.

When you have a series and only see one image, it's very hard to grasp. If I saw the series then it would probably all tie in.
