Why this was chosen as Photograph of the Week
I think this is a very striking
photograph, quite unusual in
its pale colours and setting. It loses
detail in the upper left
side, a painting or photograph is
intruding in that same corner
and the mirror awkwardly reflects only
a bit of her arm. Do you
think these, or perhaps others, are
serious distractions? (Read Discussion)

This has the quality of a Rockwell painting - very stylized and expressive. I agree about toning down the bright corner.

Great pic. Great detail. Very original. Looks like a scene of the 40's or 50's. Excellent work.

Very well "engineered shot" - colourful sepia toning, I like the top/l/h lightness, is it body painting & a brassire? Whatever! I Would like a 8 x 12 of it on my wall!!!

Chris Womack: Yes, it's body painting. The body painter is Helen Demi - www.helendemi.com (unfortunately the site is down now...)
