About	A WOMAN'S VOICE HIS head within my bosom lay, But yet his spirit slipped not through: I only felt the burning clay That withered for the cooling dew. It was but pity when I spoke And called him to my heart for rest, And half a mother’s love that woke Feeling his head upon my breast: And half the lion’s tenderness To shield her cubs from hurt or death, Which, when the serried hunters press, Makes terrible her wounded breath. But when the lips I breathed upon Asked for such love as equals claim— I looked where all the stars were gone Burned in the day’s immortal flame. “Come thou like yon great dawn to me From darkness vanquished, battles done: Flame unto flame shall flow and be Within thy heart and mine as one. George William (A.E.) Russell

I love the expression on the woman's face and the intensity in the man's. Does not feel posed. There is a sense of forward motion in the composition. Love it. Andree

Thank you so very much, Ann! My models are either friends, family, or people I meet in my everyday life. I saw Anna singing in a choir and she had the look I wanted. She turned out to be the best model I've had. I met her about twelve years ago.

Evocative and dramatic, Shirley. You managed a great theatrical expression on the model!

Thank you so very much, dear JD!:) The post-processing was necessary due to the long exposure...4-8 seconds, during which they had to hold very still. Also, the scene rendered RED on film, so I selectively layered with B&W to tone down the red in their skin.:)
