Variation 2 of 13 -- Underneath the Arches
♫ "No matter where we stray
Underneath the arches
We dream our dreams away..." ♫
Variant of my most successful image. Same petite feminine feet, same session. (Details of available light setup given in Feetish.) The feet owner seems to think they get in the way of what would otherwise be a tolerably good picture of her rug and mirror...😉
New camera was unwittingly set for JPEG and visible date-time stamps. Necessary cropping unbalanced things. Some individual qualities came up better here than in the best overall composition -- silk rug, mirror*, and especially the play of chiaroscuro on the side-lit virtual feet. Annoying that no one shot succeeded in (so to speak) nailing all the elements optimally.
* Zooming in reveals the chamfering and bevelling of the mirror's edge, and parts of the reflected image repeated at enlarged scale due to the curved bevel acting like a converging lens (or magnifying glass). The rug is from Qum, Iran.
