Overture has an unfair advantage, but all 4 photos are great....
Given the style of pics featured in this set, I was certain you would bring your usual high level of enlightenment to the table.
Not only did you not disappoint, you somehow managed to exceed my already high expectations, masterfully bringing these images to life with your commentary.
I have only one question for you... are you or have you ever been published?
Besides your narrative skills, you also seem to have a knack for ID'ing even the most obscure of models.
Kudos to you for uncovering this rich and relevant information!:thumbsup:

Reading srs83's comments does bring the photos to life.
Thank you Luxman for the compliments and kudos for finding out Yulya's full name! She is a one of a kind model, very exquisite and mysterious yet seems so earthy....

I wish I could write half as well as you. Did you always have this skill or was it something you learned?
My 14-year-old niece has very good writing skills, more creative than me, and she probably has a better grasp of the English vocabulary & grammar than I do.
Believe it or not Luxman, I think you most definitely can! Like any other craft, it is something that can be practiced and made better. I think there are a couple of keys to being good. One, you gotta have inspiration, write something that interests and compels you to write extensively; the story you want to read but never found at the library or the bookstore. Two write in detail try to show your readers what you are seeing and feeling; bring them along for the ride. Three, have faith in what you write and write quickly because almost always the rational part of your brain will kick in and say to you, "why did you write that, it makes no sense, you need to start over". So much of great writing is not so much the vocabulary and grammar. A lot of the most awesome things I read in fiction and non-fiction had to do with tempo variations in sentences, appeal to senses, likable characters.
The Creative process begins with a spark...an idea or a notion J.K. Rowling's idea for Harry Potter came out of a train trip she took once. But in taking that initial idea of a train ride, she fleshed it out. A train ride where? maybe it is to some place not in the normal world but to a magical world..maybe it is to a school? what kind of school? it's a school for witches and wizards. Maybe the protagonist is a student riding the train for the first time and he does not know what destiny he s is riding towards. It's on the train he meets two individuals who'd be his friends...As you keep fleshing out, the story kinda reveals itself, but it comes in asking more and more questions. Tell your niece to keep at it! She may write an awesome novel or set of novels one day.
But yeah wmonbear just keeps finding and sharing so many awesome pics, a lot of these I haven not seen before, and the really good ones I think tell a story just like a novel does.
I still want to write that complete story, but I am not there yet! Thanks for the suggestion for Tineye! I'll use it more often!
Thanks for the well written reply.
