There’s a seed here, Manuela! I think it’s worth pursuing especially if your heart is calling you to continue. The last image with her eyes closed is particularly stunning. I agree with you— perhaps photographing in color might render a different mood. Like you, I also have several unfinished projects. It’s part of the process when we’re trying to test our ideas. I’d love to see where this one goes if you decide to pick it up again. Thank you for sharing another lovely post!

Hi Stella, Thank you for your feedback! Yes, I think color would change a lot and I feel like I would want to bring out the color of the plants and flowers. I am not sure yet, but there is a small seed, like you said.

Thank you, Shital! I hope I will, too, in some capacity, in a different way.... I have to find a set up and models. :)
