I'm not a professional photographer or an artist, but here I go. Try to bear with me, I'm going to try to type everything that comes out of my head. This picture just mesmerized me from the start. At 12:48 AM at here where I live, I just stumbled on to dA to see any new deviant watch messages on my feed and seeing this picture on the front page just amazed me. I had to click on it without hesitation, and zooming in on the picture, it gave me, sort-of like a spontaneous rush of emotions and memories that I've felt not just today but from years back. I have got to say, this photo, pretty much, made my day, and also in a way saved me.

This picture, starting with the color aspect and the contrast between the pink & beige sort-of-light to the dark black and grayish tone, just amazing. The shadows how they add on to the contrast against the lighting, just perfect. The body language of the model, her arm position, they just portray off to me, some eerie force, so strong, yet so reserved, trying to show vulnerability with such ferocity. The movement of the dress really brings this picture out, it's so natural and it gives flow and motion to the work, and carries my eyes from one side of the picture to the other.

I would write further comments, but I don't want to go on about how this photo connects to my life in any way and bore you or others that read this. This picture, or should I say, grandeur of art, has just overwhelmed me with a burst of thoughts and ideas and just a fountain of emotions and memories rushing my head right now, and I really must thank you for posting this picture, it has saved me from myself today. Please keep up the amazing work, I'll refer you to other photographers that might need inspiration, I'll have you on my deviantwatch, give you a llama (haha), and you should expect a premium membership addition heading your way soon.
