Gal,aha! you have just experienced a mere glimpse of the visual power of gypsy gayle...hehehe...i have been told that many of my images are ambiguous with an element of mystery...if my images evoke something in the viewer,then i am pleased...
Thank you for your in-depth comment and revealing to me something about "You"...
Per the technicals using Paintshop,i adjust contrast levels to my liking as well as b/w points

regards,gayle

Hello Gayle. I've just went through the previous comments and I'm surprised that even though the word "sensual" arises from time to time, no one actually went further and employed the term "erotic". The fact is I truly think there's an explicit erotic dimension in the way the flower reveals itself to the viewer. You'll perhaps tell me that there's no reality but only visual interpretations (which would mean in fact that perceptions are an individual stimulous, hence different from viewer to viewer). Yet there is a sort of appeal which goes beyond the simple call. The viewer feels like being drawn, or literally aspired into the flower, as if he was bewitched. That could be achieved by your judicious post processing, allowing a new dimension to an otherwise rather common subject. I like the harsh black and white, severely underexposed (or burnt during pp), the secrecy and the danger we can perceive beyond its delicate appearance. Very good work.

You know I like this. B&W nature may seem strange to some. Cool to others.....I'm others. I posted you a flower. Alas, you have forgotten me. Your southern boy. Well, you have always been better at standing for a cause. Good luck against the Admin. Terry.

Graphic is the word Gayle ...... great texture.
Sorry for the lack of correspondence. I haven't been able to get to an internet connection as often and some internet cafe's are just daylight robbery.
I go your email and will send you an in depth one as soon as I can.

Be Good

yeah,hence my term in about, "Graphic"...grainy film plus closer crop with tweak of contrast gave it this look...has a dark sensual look to me ;>
