Yes. Great idea and beautiful photo. Very nicely done. I like the small reflection in her left eye to not quite let us lose it into the darkness there. Just great! Jim H.

Yes, this is very nice...soft, feminine, thoughtful....sigh. Traveller

Thanks for the kind comments. (Lydia - I think if one looks at it more critically, my view would be that I had too much contrast between right and left and the the left of the photograph - especially her arm - (although not burnt out) is probably way over-exposed. I used one softbox camera left and reflector camera right.) Regards Nico

I should have known this was you, Nico. sigh Always perfectly lit, focused, and presented. ~Lydia

Love the B&W treatment here. I think I'll go through my camera into the swimming pool. Why do I even try?
