This is just amazing. reminds me of Cleopatra seomthing from the past. Wow! Excellent print.
 
It is the 'Cleopatra something from the past' that kind of bums me out about this picture. I like your stuff when it isn't 'borrowing' better.
 
mrcrallow: I am not sure I understand your comment. (being danish, you must speak in a clear "voice".....eeh - ME being danish - not you..)
 
My first impression was "Jean D'Arc", not Egyptian. I like it anyway, subtitles or not. All the best, Daniel
 
oh, but you are.. thanks.

an explanation on how this came to "life" could be in order..

I was going to take some images of this lovley friend of mine, in a place that had a studio.
the same place was a place where all kinds o fthings can happen.
you can photograph - develop - make sculptures - leather work - dye your clothes - graphic printing and so on. free of charge! (it's Denmark, you know)
as we went there, I noticed some guys working on making handcrafted viking accessories. Swords and this: a chain..something (I forgot the english name)
I asked if I could borrow it, and then we tool this image.
I was kind of amused/fascinated that a prop, so directly pointing to the Nordic Mythology, actually pointed to the old Egypt (it was not on purpose - It just happened)
after this experience, I have done SO many "portraits" with strange head pieces (half a globe once...) to see where it would bring me..

So I see your point intirely, but personally I sort of like it.. (maybe because of the story..)
 
Really beautiful and powerful at the same time, what character, what atmosphere!
 
Gandolfi, you're on the right track.
