great photos from my contacts / 10-07-2007: ellie 6 - little black dress

a lady in a (black) dress - she turns her back towards the viewer, almost like she were shy - with her left hand she is lifting the dress a bit, like little girls do when they are proud to show their new clothes - we cannot see the head of the lady, the crop only shows the parts from her neck to her knee - the image is soft and grainy at the same time, the color is a monochrome brownish yellow - the light is on the left side, accentuating the contours of her arm, the right side of her is almost fading into the background - her gesture seems both shy and coquettish - the composition is on the spot and it's a pleasure to look at the photo for a longer time - it's a wonderful image
