Description Full view please.

This is part of a series of three.
This was my photography week assignment. We were given a colour (in my case: blue,) and had to express an emotion through a certain genre (in my case dolls *what a surprise!* ) using photography. My emotion is 'Serene Melancholy.'

This is Macarius' first independent, serious photo shoot ^o^ He was... relatively cooperative = P

We were given SLRs to use, but my mum's compac which I had with me is actually amazing - so although I took the Nikon out there with me, I just ended up using my mums Lumix~

The symbolic theme of this shoot is mortality.

-----------------------------------------

This is an absolutely beautiful piece! The shades of blue are wonderful and really make it stand out. The ring is a fabulous touch.

It's a great piece, not cause I really love blue or anything ~ xD
Angle, pose, colours, settings = works nicely, they all complement each other ~ ^.^

At first I thought this was a real person, then realized it wasn't at second glance. Now that's good photography skills right there!

Thanks very much ^o^-
The photography teacher said that he thought it was a person for a moment =/ (this was whilst I was working on it.) He then went on to talk about her ribbon and her hair. When I pointed out that it was a man he said that he was like Michael Jackson! TT~TT
