Camisa Negra...

I certainly won't be caught dead without
my fake pearls ;)
So... if any of you see me somewhere
without earrings & a necklace then it's not me.
Ok...it's an addiction, but a sweet safe one.

The emotion pours from deep here. Wonderful and thought provoking. V

I also thought you were praying.. beautiful, Ana. Vote.

At first I thought it was a rosary... Beautiful picture.

I like the slight motion blur and the drama of the contrast.
I also love black pearls (or any pearls....) the "tears of the ocean" my superstitious Russian friend used to call them. I think they're perfection in a tiny round luminous ball.

Yes. Right on.

Yes, the motion of the hand draws your eye to the necklace. Your pearls are beautiful, telling us of their lack of authenticity is certainly an overshare. ;-)

I like.A classic picture.Classy.I like those little details that are part of a self respecting human being.
During a time I used a "pince nez", it was part of myself.I hope, one day , to use a cane...to hit some!
Nice moody pictures

Very nicely done. I love the movement of the pearls on your hand in contrast to the sharply focused ones.

This is good to see , something different and so moody . You have a skill to bring over your feelings with your pictures. Not many can , myself included.

Very interesting and beautiful photo Ana. Has a great impact, both the photo and your message. Your lighting effect here is superb! Gets my vote!

Beautiful... -- can only echo the other comments!

Black prayer beads.As counted whispers,snuggling shy against my neckline.Not brazen whiteness clamouring for attention and admiration,defiling me with opulence.They are round shadows capturing light kises that slip as silk beneath my fondling fingers.Ink drops that roll comfort and pleasure through a nervous palm.They mirror tranquility and kinetic reserve.Encircling as little treasured promises,one by one,to myself.

I agree with others, the tiny bit of motion gets my attention. I also like the way the necklace is looped through the fingers. It give connection rather than just touching them the elements are intertwined.--Rene

It's really beautiful, Ana. As usual, you've found a nice lighting. I like your gesture too here.
Sean Blumenhein23-Nov-2005 12:48
Nice, I like the little bit of motion blur, it is like you a re moving them to protect them from someone.

Beautiful light on this one.. with me it's earrings.. without them I'm not me.

Excellent photo. You used the negative space very well and focus greatly to set the eye where you want it. Well done.
Guest 23-Nov-2005 09:17
The way you are expressing your self with photography is a novelty and I love it. Every time I open your day by day pictures a surprise waiting for me. Well done dear Ana

I like the motion in your hand and the contrasting light. Immediately focuses my attention to the portion of the photograph you want me to.
