A lady Hamlet it seems filling a poetic space. Then the beauty of the body edge is seen and completes the view. Was it torture, dance, labor or fine genetics that searched out a counter intuitive passage where the result is elite?

So intense, Meli! I love the strong light on the subject, well, to tell the truth I love the whole use of lights in this pic...

oh my, its june already..sigh,how fast the year goes.~i love the light sources in this meli.they illuminate the negative space nicely and give this an easy to follow flow to the eye, not obtrusive at all.between the light source on the chest area and the window,they move in an upward direction with no obstructions. beautiful.

Wow, I have a lump where my throat should me, this is really moving Meli, I adore the photograph of Eleonora! hugest hugs Thank you so much for sharing :D

I expressed my feelings with a vote. I am speachless

beautiful words and an awsome image to go with them.. hugz meli

You expressed that mood in a great way. You're improving a lot with photo-manipulation, my friend, so the results are here: a very interesting composition. :-)

Very 'negative' indeed :) For me in a quite positive way. It has a mood which I am drawn to. Though just hope she is okay, of course. But other than that I like the style and the position she is in. Compared to the real picture it sure is a diverse piece..really shows how something can be transformed into something completely different :) I love it!

that window jumps off the page, amazing composition! unusual to have a blurred foreground and sharp background, but it works.

I must have aliens on the brain, forgive me Meli. This looks like she's going to be abducted. Great lighting on her and the stance does suggest deep thought and troubled contemplation. You are evolving in your art my dear. Hugs :)

you have wonderful vision Meli- i luv the pose & lighting- not so sure bout the green grassy stuff in the doorway, but that's just me- very impressive, expressive & exceptional piece! :]

Obsessive light... can't sleep. The world of mind through the door.. Thoughts encircling her... Really moody!

Obsession is a persistent idea, or group of ideas, frequently irrational, occuring against our consciuos will, somethimes with a compulsion to render an action concrete. Each thought has multiple viewpoints and innumerable meanings. What kind of obsession are we looking at?

True that you seem to move in other directions. The lady seems to sit outside rather than inside . That makes the doorway more interesting. Very interesting play with light.

Very touching image, and a beautiful pose. A bit mysterius with those textures. Lovely Meli!

WoW!!! Another splendid Dedication. Looks very nice to Me!

Eccellente e molto creativo lavoro Meli...!!! l'illuminazione ha un effetto visuale molto bello...!!!

Absorbing is indeed the work here, Meli!! This is just sensational and gorgeous work! Your talent is unbelievable!! Brava!!!

Lots of precious insights (btw.. are ebots workin? I don't think so, because I am not receiving notes about your comments.. oh well ;)) that need some of my attention :) @cynlee, I agree with you (and our lovely Cassie, from a message in the forum) that the green seems out of place, but it's explicative of the reason of my friend obsession: that is jalousy and envy someway..) with this I have also answered to intolerance about the kind of obsession she has. I extremely love the smart note of Imaginationart because he captured exactly the way I tried to portray the negative space, twisting in 3D idea of what's in and what's out, to give a sort of different vibe :) Thank you everyoe for your comments.. and for all your help for makin me improve :) Hugs :)

Hi Meli!! Very creative picture composition! Excellent done! Im impressed! :)

Beautifully done, meli!!! Excellent lighting and composition!!!!

This is one of your best images in my eyes. Her tormented pose, contrasting a somewhat serene and luminant background, suits me just fine. I have lived in many different places and have found that the scenery will never halt the depressing effects of a bad day. It just softens it a little and makes the melancholy more beautiful.

This is such an emotionally packed image, Meli. You took a great photo and you've used it just perfectly to create a very intense mood. Wonderful work. And, as always, just the right words to go with the vision. A really moving piece of art.

Cool work, the green in this makes me think of smoking some weed. You are getting better at Photoshop, and this is quit the moody picture. I can relate even, as sometimes I tend to feel a bit of negative space, usually not though. Seven Layers eh? Good stuff, I need to get Photoshop again ;-). -Peace :-)

WOW Firenze inspires! xzlnt work!

I love this image Meli! It really absorbs me...into trying to see what is in her mind. Lovely work!

Beautiful Picture, all of the above.

She seems to be involved in a struggle of heart & mind...a battle that rarely ends in the kind of outcome that we want or desire.She seems to be at a turning point in her life,trying to decide her future,or fate,that will make her the person she wants to be! Although....I'm just speculating!! Great thought provoking work! :)

It's gonna become a new favourite of mine.And your explanations about it are very spot on,too.

LilLau ha ragione, su tutta la linea. Un gran lavoro, pieno di profondit
