About A wide aperture helped my imagination considerably...

The mermaid woke up from her dream (Mermaid Dream)only to find herself in "a dream within a dream"....

(a light fabric surface was flying over the actress)

this is probably not for the book, but still belongs to the same concept: fantasy worlds that influences avoiders of "reality"! Thanx for the comment, profound!

It screams of theatre.
Is this going in the book? I think the baccanalia is a different genre for its commitment. This has perhaps too much irony for the project though it is an astounding image and does generate an atmosphere.

I am glad you are inspired, this is creation all about!
Sometimes we gather and shoot the same topics to see what happens!

Hi Mary, Very spooky shot, but that's probably a pavlov reaction, caused by the blueish, ghostly tones. Looking objectively at teh subject, a completely different image appears, and that's exactly what I like about this one.

As to the composition, I think a tilt, or more extreme angle of photography / POV could bring out the theme a bit stronger, and more surrealistic and ghostly, if you see what I mean. This idea is mainly induced by the black area in the top right corner, as I think the transition between the blue veil and the background is a bit harsh.

Other than that a very strong image, with an very powerful atmosphere as well as a huge impact.

Cheers,

Hugo

WOW, what a striking result!!! Love the colors. The fabric helps to create this dreamlike effect. One one hand it's a shame that you solved the riddle; on the other hand it gave me an new idea for future projects. Thanks!

yes I can see the fins... unfortunately I did not want to touch the picture! The lights changed all the time and I got advantage of the blue light. Here you can see a more realistic photo of the theatrical performance:

Wonderfully strange mermaid you have conjured up here caught between a dream and an urban setting.There seem to be the lights of a tower block behind her and the swirl of white water in the bottom right corner like she's sitting on a bridge above a river. I love the way you can barely see her face but not so keen on the bikini-top or are they shells?Anyway,a beautifully mysterious image which I have enjoyed-immensly,regards Tony.

Hi again,
Isn't it strange that I was listening to Alan Parsons'
"Tales of Mystery & Imagination" literary the whole day ?
