Female Bather 5

sweet pan-fried jesus that is awesome.

Thank you very much for the comments.

Tricky part of taking this picture was that lens got steamy immediatelly after entering the hot and moist air of the bathhouse room. I had to run away naked to a cooler room, wait for lens to clear, and then jump in, take a shot and run away again to prepare for another. Exchanged the fun of bathing for the fun of photography. I am not like that anymore...

painterly, moody, thought provoking..thanks

All of the above! Plus, the rather 'institutional' look of the surroundings just makes it more surreal.

I'm in as well on this image. Almost needs to be a novel cover. A nice well balanced painterly feel yet a photograph.
