Very well captured!
Phil Deaves, 8 months ago
The best of your three postings…in my opinion. This one has a more voyeuristic quality. The left hand is well caught. I can see the strength in her fingers.

Many thanks Phil for the your detailed comments!

Very moody and very brave to cut the head off, it really turned out great!
Rosina Lamberti, 8 months ago
beautiful work any cellist would love to have this in their portfolio
Persimmon in reply to Rosina Lamberti’s comment, 8 months ago
thankyou Rosina..but this isn’t a cello its a tenor viola-da-gamba (popular during the 16th and 17th centuries)

beautiful photos and awesome instruments :-) love it!

I really love this one! Its great how cropping out the face draws shifts the focus to the lines of the instrument… and i also like how the shape of the instrument mirrors the shape of her body. The veins in her wrist are a great contradiction to the overall strength of the image. Its beautiful!

Magnifique, cette viole de gambe… la pose est superbe et le traitement en B&W sert tout à fait l’image… bravo !
Persimmon in reply to Puyravaud Frédéric’s comment, 7 months ago
Oh! Merci beaucoup. Il est vachement fantastique pour trouver quelqu’un qui connaît cet instrument superbe. Il n’est pas possible que vous comprenniez l’importance de vos compliments. Pardon pour mon Français terrible.

Is there anything more alluring than a beautiful woman playing the chello? Great work!
sharrukina malek, 7 months ago
i have never seen a cello like this. it looks very olden style. is this really a modern cello? i have a cello and it looks nothing like this. i find cello to be a bloody sexy instrument for women

Thank you for your visit.
Nikki Trexel, 6 months ago
i agree with the commenter who said that when you can’t see her face, you are more drawn to the elegance and style of the beautiful instrument. perfect shot.
Persimmon in reply to Nikki Trexel’s comment, 6 months ago
thank you. sometimes a face has too much personality…it was the instrument’s personality which needed to show
lenaprehn, 6 months ago
atmospheric. one of those shots that makes you wish youd taken it!

thanks, the instruments are very beautiful to start with, but the shiney finish can be a bit difficult to photograph
