that's really cool, it has sort of a Dee Vee look and feel to it. The light is wonderful and the subject is well placed.

Great composition here, Yoki. The chandelier is doing a great job for you. And she's a bit of a bombshell.

Yes I often sense a strong DVetic influence in your work Yoki and this certainly had a look of a dv thumbnail. Though I suspect he would have left the chandelier on the cutting room floor. Nice one Yoki!

Surprised to see DV name mentioned a few times here but this is purely Yoki's style ...i think with or without the chandelier this would work even though I'd be inclined to crop this square (no surprise here) ... was this Marilyn on one of her desperate escape to Paris ? ;-)

Can't be a dee eve. It isn't square! :-) I like the creamy tones and glamour of it. She is Marilynesque..

Thanks, Clay.. "DV's look and feel"? Wow! It's a huge compliment for me! :)

Hehehehehe.., I guess so, Mike! Thank you for commenting.

Thank you, Chris.. I have said many times here that I've been influenced heavily by Don's (consciously or unconsciously) :) Not only learning from his images, but also providing me with a step-by-step instruction on post-pro. A very kind guy.

I think the chandelier is a nice addition for the classic look I want to achieve.

Thanks, Don.. and that's the fact; I enjoy looking at your images so much, that I believe it has influenced me heavily. Though I hope this is one of the stage that I have to pass, before I can come up with my own style.

Thanks, Chris.. The composition is originally like this, with slight adjustment to make it vertically lines.

Great light and compo..
