Por casualidad he acabado de nuevo en tu blog viendo esta historia de desamor. Es estupenda.

Que buen encuadre !! La belleza clásica tiene ese atractivo del tiempo pasado y de la estética apabullante. ¿Quién no se rinde ante ella? Y, como de costumbre, ese blanco y negro de tus fotos que dejan impresionado.

  Hay obras que transcienden la simple belleza estética y nos comunican con fuerza los sentimientos de su creador. Ante ellas sólo cabe reconocer modestamente el largo camino que aún nos queda por recorrer.

I don’t know how you achieve the tones you do, but they are excellent-so is everything else.

  That’s very kind of you.
  I use curves in Photoshop to achieve the colour tone in my photographs.

A veces una conversación no necesita palabras. Ambas figuras interactúan perfectamente y la imagen parece dotarlas de vida. Espléndido blanco y negro, como siempre.

  El miedo al rechazo crea silencios muy tensos. La soledad es un cruel castigo para el que necesita ser amado.

  If was love at first sight! A love triangle between the painting, the statue and the viewer. 🙂

it seems to me, that there is a communication between the naked man and the dressed woman in the frame … and somehow I have to smile, when I am looking to this composition …

have a good time

  How frustrating can it be to stay so close and so far from it at the same time?
  Silence separates even more than the physical distance.

Love the composition. It made me smile to see the naked statue almost looking down on the clothed figure in the painting.

I suppose we all see different things in photographs.

  Every photograph is a mirror that show us the less known part of ourselves. As Anaïs Nin said: “We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are”
