Beauty and the Beast

Posted by
Bettina (Los Angeles, United States) on 5 August 2011 in Architecture and Portfolio.

Just having a little fun with ironic juxtapositions. Like my son about to perform and me walking around taking pictures.

The curves are perfect, nicely framed.
Thats a great place to say " yeah performed there before", well done young man. onwards and upwards.

The swoop and curves of the body and the building look made for each other. Wonderfully caught, Bettina.

Wow Bettina, this image literally unfolds in such a wonderful way. The way in which you have adjusted and composed the elements here... and the various colors and tones is truly magical...this is another spotlight image in my opinion...just a magnificent job here! I am serious.
