@Karthik: Interesting that you are not into photographs of people - I find us fascinating. I say a good photograph is a good photograph, regardless of subject. I would hope you might find cause to celebrate the human topography at some point. In any case - thanks for the comment...

good angle, smart shot - perhaps slightly underexposed, but that's just a matter of taste.

Francesc B. from région parisienne, France
Which flexibility... an incredible and original pose !
Makes me cry by seeing that...with my damaged lumbar vertebrae when I worked as landscape gardener...

@Francesc B.: ...my body has the stiffness, aches, and pains one might expect after almost six decades of use. (I am finally working to claim back some of what I can) - yet I watch Cole as she poses before me and celebrate her - as I am sure I celebrate your garden! Light on, Francesc!

An unusual but very dramatic pose, it could almost be from the ballet world. With this theme the possibilities are endless.

What a strong work, Stephen. The pose and the shadow make this one really special.

How creative Stephen!!! I was so drawn to this image that I've even turned myself upside down to view it...:-)

@hugo poon: I needed your inspiration before I named this, Hugo. I would have simply called it, 'Flip'.
willow from Chelsea, United States
I really like the light and shadows, but my eye keeps getting pulled toward the guitar on her shirt. Hmmm...

@willow: Nothing to fret about...strum on...
Magda from Vancouver, Canada
Great shot! Love the POV... The shadow ads extra character ;)
