[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo was inspired by the Dutch master painter Johannes Vermeer, particularly by his "Girl with the pearl earring" (1665-1666)- one of his finest works.

I posted a sepia version of this image earlier on, and concluded to post it once more in colour, in which it was originally shot.

Hope you'll like it.

Sand.

WTF!
Man you did a great job here.
It looks like a painting to me.
Very nice work.
Do you have more info about how you did this?
Such as lights etc.

Hi Sand
I find the light makes this photo graceful and artistic.
After viewing the sepia I do prefer this one, as the color of her clothing really enhances her lovely skin.

I also visited your gallery and like the fact that you share your techniques. TFS

Hi Sand,
impressive work you've done here; you perfectly managed the light to create such a beautiful portrait where delicate shades of colors are the the extra point that makes this presentation special and very pleasant to look at. You build it, you did shoot it and you delivered a great result..impressive, truly impressive.
Thanks for posting this and regards,

Ele
