About THANK YOU to Art McCaffrey for seeing the possiblity.:)

"Sweet sounds, oh, beautiful music, do not cease!
Reject me not into the world again.
With you alone is excellence and peace,
Mankind made plausible, his purpose plain.
Enchanted in your air benign and shrewd,
With limbs a-sprawl and empty faces pale,
The spiteful and the stingy and the rude
Sleep like the scullions in the fairy-tale.
This moment is the best the world can give:
The tranquil blossom on the tortured stem.
Reject me not, sweet sounds! oh, let me live,
Till Doom espy my towers and scatter them,
A city spell-bound under the aging sun,
Music my rampart, and my only one."

Edna St.Vincent Millay
On Hearing a Symphony of Beethoven

Dear Leora, Those who are very familiar with my portfolio know about my work with my toy pinwheel that glows when I put blue gels over my lights. This is a photoart combining one of those still lifes with my model. Here is the link to the original still life: http://www.usefilm.com/image/1316709.html

Thank you so very much for your comments.:):):)

Dear Shirley, this photo really dances to the music. Congratulations on a stunning effect -- 7!

I am wondering what combination of lights you are using, as you have not stated your exposure or details.

I have enjoyed the results of putting continuous movement on film using a combination of flash and tungsten during one continuous exposure with my Nikon. I had to lock the mirror up and use a velvet black background. It worked well also with a zoom effect.

Cheers, Leora

My Dear Shirley...

I hear this image ...

Gracious thanks and Blessings!

The poem is perfect with it also, even though the picture "needs" no words! Do we not all see/hear/feel the vibration of the symphony? Do we not know that this beautiful young woman is not "possessed" by listening to heavy metal for example???

Such a talent thou hast mine Shirley!

Much Love and may the music forever be...
Aniko :)

This is a wonderful photoart creation and one of so very many to grace your breathtaking portfolio. A beautiful young model, a dazzling display of colours and patterns and mention of my favourite composer that inspired the usage of the poem to be coupled to your mouthwatering study.......Excellent work my sweet Shirley.....All the very best........Ray

More cool effects, I like that offset you've used, it really adds the motion in conjunction with the pinwheel motion.

Thank you so very much, Art...and you're welcome!:) I felt that 'motion' effect of the face was necessary to fit with the rest of the motion, as it was too static otherwise.:)
