Very inspiring Francis. Reminiscent of the great B & W pioneer Alfred Eisenstaedt circa 1945.

@Stuart MacNamara: Thanks very much for your kind words but I think my work is very different to Eisenstaedt. My focus is more on Nudes and Fashion where I think he was a genius in photojournalism . I can only hope to one day be that great.

I'd like to know what you're 'on' if you're comparing this work to Eisenstaedt. Do you know much about photography or its history, or are you merely pontificating?
I'm sorry Francis but I really can't let such comments go unchallenged.
Interesting shot, certainly a different angle on things! I like the colour processing in this one, it certainly works well for the model's hair and the cold background... That being said I keep thinking the angle might be a bit too steep.
