Beautiful figure, light, and composition in this image.

I'm feeling pretty balanced now between film and digital; apples and oranges, both have their own character. Didn't feel good about digital until very recently with switching from SLR to full frame mirrorless. I will most often shoot with both at a photo session. Agree with the comment about crystals of silver, but I also love the aspect of serendipity of film and the development process. Guiding that in a good direction can produce some very lovely and unexpected results that are more "organic" in feel than digital.

I'm not really an "equipment snob," but I know how you shot this based on comments you made about another in the series on your own page. I embraced the digital age a few years later than others, and it's wonderful for saving money and hassle, but when you come right down to it, my Pentax 67 and Graphic View II make me feel more like a "photographer" than a "fauxtographer." There's just nothing comparable to looking at a 4x5" negative through a loupe and realizing that every single crystal of silver out of hundreds of thousands got just exactly the right amount of light for what I wanted to do.

Thank you Leland!!!

Thank you Leland!!!

Absolutely amazing image. Everything just "works," and the photographer was exactly the right person, at exactly the right time and place, with exactly the right model. This is about as good as it gets.
