This is pretty freakin' amazing...the muted lighting, blinds, beautiful silhouette, intriguing texture...is she reaching to her back to secure the cloth or to release it?...her motions mean everything; or nothing...
The lady revealed her charms
to distract from her shortness of arms;
though she gave me a thump
on the ear with her stump,
I responded with, “Your servant, Marm”.
Love the artistry to these! Every element works fabulously together. Form against line. Grain with b/w. And that texture is the perfect finishing touch. I like this one even better than the last one.
WOW .. !!!
funny reading all the comments and the different takes on this ..
that's excellent when you can create an image and everyone sees something different in it ..

The processing and composition give this image a wonderful mysterious feel. Who is this woman? What is she doing? Is this a bride preparing for her big day? Is it a newly expecting mother with her hands on her stomach?
There's just enough detail to spark the curiosity, but not enough to tell the full story. This is something I could hang on a wall.
