The Violinist

London

She is playing on Hungerford Bridge, 100m from the Royal Festival Hall, oblivious of passers-by, her passion and commitment for the music is just as deep and profound as it would be if she was playing in a concert hall.

YB - nevermind about the file size - I just realized that this monitor at work is the culprit - sorry! It is an old PC monitor set at low resolution making the pic sizes seem very big! - my mistake - angioman

The warm colors add to the mood - nicely done YB! Also, you might want to change the size of your uploaded images. On most screens, your pics are too big to see without scrolling, which detracts from these great images. It also adds unnecessary noise. You might want to try 800x800 or 640x640 pixels max dimension. - angioman

Great look of concentration and emotion to match the intense color of her hair! :-) CJ

The colors of the hair and skin are in such sympathy with the instrument that they become an organic whole - an effective analogy for the emotional intensity of the performer. -tv

Hi Jano
Even when they are closed, the eyes are so expressive.
The passion of her music was matched by the exuberance of her hair.
