*Live to the point of tears*
Camus
----------
Taken with a canon IXUS 400, available light, underexposed of 1/3,contrast set to half mode, no postwork.Taken in Viareggio in July 2003, at 6h30 pm.
Model: Francesca
------------------
This picture is a message of happy summer, for you all. The sweet model is Francesca, the best friend of a friend's daughter whom you're gonna see as well soon, in my works, or like it has already happened (and will) in Synapse, disa and jrulier's work in 2D :). This picture especially has been given to disa to work on it the way he prefers.
I love to take pictures for valuable artists, as they can create magic even with unperfect shots (as are mines, since I am still learning).
In this picture I wanted to portray not only Summer, and the joy of it, but also the beauty of life blossoming in the pure, lively and playful attitude of an 11years old full of youth and enthousiasm for everything.Not only that: I also believe the pure magic of Summer holidays is totally perceivable and felt merely in childhood times, when we are carefree and we can appreciate the possibilities of the spare times in full. None is as happy on the beach as a kid turning teenager.All sounds, appears.. smells even like a wonderful chance then.Sun shines at its peak.This picture wants to communicate to you all the powerful vibe of Holidays.
Refresh yourself along Francesca's sight and .. take a shower ;) On the beach, it's better :)
See you as I am back from Rome!

Gorgious picture...Thanks for sharing :D
Cool and refreshing. Meli, you definately captured a pure moment in time...A time of innocence and the joy of summertime. Thank you for sharing and remind us all of our youth.
Fantastic !!! Wonderful scene, excellent shot and excellent technique ! You really it is very versatile in its works of art ! Congratulations friend Meli ! "I am waiting its painting works !!! "
this image you have captured of Francesca is absolutely refreshing & the lighting is perfect on her, you have achieved the desired effect you meant with an artistic flair (see? your talent is showing again :) as far as the background, that could be blurred with photoshop, although you might have to clone the waterspray back in
Excellent image!!
what a refreshing immage - just what i need right now - what a hot summer - oh and what a beautiful model ;-) - very well done meli
This is a wonderful shot Meli, I think in this heatwave we are all wishing we were Francesca in that cool water. Your choice of lighting is just right for contrasting the water droplets. congratulazioni! Murph
Yow! you have quite accomplished what you hoped to with this photo... thanks for gracing us all with your gifts!
What a beautiful scene!!!. I love the soft feel and rich color.I also agree with cynlee's comment too.Your talent is showing again here Meli :) Well done...I will always keep up with you and your works.There are many things that I will learn from you...
Beautiful and refreshing shot! Wish I was there!
Eccellente controluce Meli...!! molto buoni effetti di luci ed ombre...!!
Excellent photo!!! :):)
Excellent!very nice Photo ....Thanks
Yes meli... this is a horrible photo... I mean the pose... pttttt done like a millions times before... the shoddy light... the omnipresent shadows, ugh... you have a lot to learn my fair lady :p I agree with synapse about the background... what were you thinking? (j/k... I like it, especially the pose, did you tell her to do it like that or did she just do it herself?)
Very good work. Wather is nice clear and all photo work is perfect.
Your technique of modification of the exposition works very well.
Very nice.
Joyful and... joyful! :)
Wonderful reminder of the joyful summer. I miss it a lot. Briii, it is pretty cold here (Sydney).
WOOOOOOOOOOW! Over 50 comments now thats a new record! YOu must be doing something right! excellent shot!
So pretty! What an excellent shot! :)
Wonderful shot. Really captures the joy of summer as well as the joy of youth! Excellent. CC
Ottimo scatto. Ottima posa... ottimo soggetto. Ottimo tempismo. Peccato che io non vada al mare da 6 anni... o forse no... probabilmente se avessi fatto questo scatto io la signorina mi avrebbe tirato la boccia dello shampoo... fotografi meglio gli esseri umani che le architetture.
Now THATs refreshing!!! I feel cooler already! Awesome photo for a scorching hot day, thank you Meli....
Very greatly done. Beautiful work always!
Good god woman...this one certainly got a lot of attention lol.She's a gorgeous girl and the scene truly repesents the joy of summer...I hope syndroid was joking about the image because it's truly great especially considering the heatwave ravaging Europe.Can't wait for the sequels and hope you might consider ading yourself in such portraits in the future;)
The weather in Europe adds even more appeal to this picture... It is impossible to underestimate the joy of getting away into a shadow under a refreshing stream of water :)
Always thank you for help me with your photos... You are so kind :)
A perfect stop on the water droplets.At first I thought a tiny bit faster may have made them appear rounder and shorter.Now after looking more I think the length is perfect.Your exposure is so good even with the sun beating in.(must be an overhead canopy).Awsome shot.
cool ;) i like it :)
