Well Chris, let me tell you that you've got the prize!!! Yes, I've made the lights like that on purpose, but so far no one had noticed it ;-)))
Thanks!

Surprised the clever use of light effects wasn't brought up in previous comments as if forms a perfect heart

The darkness really works for you here, Ana. Instead of just making the entire picture dark and illegible (on some monitors, I know of), you use your darkness selectively here to help this picture become more than just a choice of garments, but rather an expression of indecision itself. A obscured head symbolizes a blank mind. And that is really what you are saying to us in this confrontational view. In the other images in this series, the viewer was reduced to a passive observer. In this case, the confrontational vantage point draws your viewers in and demands that they participate in the image. That's why I feel this image is the most expressive in this series so far.

This reminds me of the days that I need a looooot of time to find the 'right' cloth to wear!! Love the darkness that creates the mood in this photo... we can almost feel your doubts... Mmmm... are you sure the white?? or maybe...
Ana Carloto O'Shea14-Aug-2005 13:29
So, you aprove the white?? Excellent, it was the one I wore anyway :-) It's not easy to choose sometimes and when we let the doubt take control, we feel almost blind... That was the story behind the shot. Thanks Kal.

Looks fine just as is Ana! Seriously though, I am ususally blinded by indecision when my wife gives me the choice you are considering. I shudder with the fear of making the wrong decision, and I usually do! Maybe it is a test of my love? Anyway, I hate the blindness I feel at that moment. Another great image.
