The shadow is excellent, and I'm pleased that you didn't cut or crop it away. 24 Sep 2008 3:22pm dobbino from Cape Town, South AfricaThis is a really intriguing and interesting image. There are leaves on the ground, and yet the pages of her book don't look blown around. Makes me think it may be an autumn shot? Anyway - it's incredibly well done - love it! 24 Sep 2008 4:32pm dobbino from Cape Town, South AfricaOops! Hit the button too soon - the words and title are absolutely appropriate too! 24 Sep 2008 4:33pm Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United StatesI will 'Napster' the Alan Parsons Project as soon as I hit 'send' here - it has been years. The is a fabulous capture. Well seen and well produced! 24 Sep 2008 4:38pm Ana Lúcia from Leiria, PortugalGreat B/W, very nice atmosphere! It looks like a sweet place to lay and read a book. 24 Sep 2008 7:22pm António Pires from Lisbon, PortugalIt was nice from you to say this image was inspired by the work of BC. On the other hand it leads inevitably to comparisons. 24 Sep 2008 8:08pm @António Pires: Thank you for your comments Antonio and yes I totally agree it is different and a harder image for sure. I have never thought to capture the shadows until I saw Blue's work and I find it fascinating, almost and extention of the person which was the inspiration here, I really appreciate your lovely comments. Richard_Irwin from Belper, United KingdomThis is fantastic B&W imagery, the contrast and shapes really work together to create a terrific image, nice shot. 24 Sep 2008 8:52pm Veronelle from Lens, Franceseule sur un banc en attendant son amoureux, superbe noir et blanc 24 Sep 2008 9:17pm Marion from Nanaimo, BC, CanadaWonderful capture Kylie and it suits the poem so well. Very artistic and well done. 24 Sep 2008 10:31pm [suvni:R] from Brussels, Belgiumi think you did an awesome job with this BW ... i'm jealous :-)) wouldn't it be great if you could just send her the picture...that would make her day for sure. 24 Sep 2008 10:40pm @[suvni:R]: Thanks for your wonderful comments Suvnir, I assume you mean it would be nice if Bluechamelon could see it? She already has and commented above which was very touching, thanks for stopping by my friend! jamesy from christchurch, New ZealandBeautiful Kylie the lyrics fit so well with the photo. I can't get over how much this person looks like my sister. 24 Sep 2008 11:46pm vu@granby - Gilles Martineau from Granby, Québec, CanadaYou should be proud of this B/W picture.

What an image! 25 Sep 2008 1:33am [suvni:R] from Brussels, Belgiumi actually meant the woman in the photo :-) sorry for not being too clear.

Fliss from Melbourne Beach, United StatesI feel like that sometimes... to just sit somewhere - alone... 25 Sep 2008 1:58am baobab from Cambridge, United Statesgreat shadow work - really like the composition and treatment. 25 Sep 2008 10:16pm Evelyn from Berkeley, United StatesThere's something very lonely here, even with that wicked hook of her high heel. She's waiting for something, but that's not the point. The waiting holds all the meaning. 26 Sep 2008 4:39am bisha from Saitama, JapanLovely shadows! This is great in B&W, I love the lonely mood. 26 Sep 2008 10:41am Anita from Quito, EcuadorSuperb BW image!!
