July 01, 2012 6:40am This quirky photo is actually quite wonderful with its determined pose and creative choice of disparate elements.
the pose itself is very focused, self assured, connected and strong with the standing, the tilt and above all the hands. but then look at the clothes; the very finely textured robe in contrast to the trunks and the cap, with the unifying black color. All this in front of a curtain which makes this a "show" piece.
A cool, unique piece of work.
