This piece definately succeeded as a tribute to the maestros. The retouche fits very good and is so close to "a bit more and it would look too much". The pose and the look on the face also make me have the feeling to peek into a very intimate moment of the model, which in my opinion is very often the case when you look at caravaggio´s and rembrandt´s works.

It was also a good decision to leave the face free from the effect that transformed the body into a painting. Like a perfect symbiosis between reality and the fantasy of the photographer/the painter ;)

Theres not much more to say than: Thanks for sharing this with us.

Oh boy. I have not been terribly well, at the very least my eyes have had their medicine today.

The light and shade in this piece, for me, is faultless. The bottom half of this picture could easily be from an old, even damaged painting that has seen better days.

You just seem to materialise out of nothing, defying the decay to present the viewer with your expression, in this case one I find difficult to describe. I'm going to stick with sultry despair. There is a sadness and longing about it, I want you to faint just so I can catch you!

The small detail of dark nail polish and the subtle piercing almost secretly mocks the classic look that was achieved - does this amount to a modern masterpiece?

Darn Tootin'!

Sigh, once again I get a bit carried away with comment, but that's what these images do for me - lift me high above the crap factory where the air still smells like air.

Thanks again
