Beautiful shades of color.
Remember those old screens.
The idea of photography would be devastated in a scenario: A warm and pulsating with life generated in a dark, bleak and devastated?

I really like the colours in this one; I think it really makes it look very "classic". It really looks great, well done.

This is a quite attractive relationship piece. It's frustrating to me to not be able to find sisterly nudes, as opposed to overly sexualized duets or pas de dieu with two women. (Even rarer is a non-homoerotic male nude with two men, for that matter.) While the interpretation allows for liberty in the viewer, I would like to see this as a close sisterly moment between two women in a heroic pose and narrative. (Ok, the legs on the left make that interpretation a reach, but nevermind.) In some art, the context is built in, while artistic nudes has to overcome the bias toward a merely lewd interpretation. Good work.

There is so much about this image that jumps out at me - the colours, the emotion, the composition - a truly incredible piece.

Wonderfully done. Amazing how you can take a tragedy (ala California burn) and make it into something so effectively beautiful.

Pretty Farm Out..
Like the whole sepia thing.
You sort of kinda look like Amazons escaped from a noir film about the Apocalypse.. er, something. Perhaps even Athena meets Xena, Warrior Princess.

I could be romanticizing to beat the band, too.

In any event. Neat pic.

Thank you James. It was a fairly intense environment. Freezing cold and covered in black ash and emotion... draining. There are more from this series that I will post soon.
