Yes, she is my wife and soon I'll be a father of a boy ;)

Congrats! I have 7 - 5 boys and 2 girls:-)

This is beautiful - love the use of selective color!

Normally I'm not a fan of colourkey-pctures, but this is great. It has a very striking impression.

Stunnig picture. the tones and selective coloring works very well here!

Very nice work on this one - instant fave for me!

Ciao,
jon

Muy bonita y el rojo entre gris a quedado muy bien. FELICIDADES.

Oh boy, I haven't seen this symbol for so many years... I admire all people who remember and lived through these tough times.

When did you make this photo?

Tamara, smth., about 20 years ago!

Yes, I know it wasn't taken yesterday. :) But I was wondering this was taken at the end of the communism regime or earlier. I can't read Russian, of course, so the sign says nothing to me.

Tamata, photo was taken in 1987!

Hello Mikhail,
I like the precision of your photography, and especially the management of light. Returned sky is rather extraordinary. Perhaps that a tighter framing would have made it possible to give even more majesty to this beautiful building. Congratulations
;)

Noisy. What a pity...

Dominik, noisy because photo was taken at the evening.

I love the soft feel of this shot! It seems very delicate and beautiful. Nice work. :)

good one!

Nice and tasteful.

This photo won bronze medal on the FIAP photo exhibition in Austria.

Salon 4:
MONOCHROME PRINTS GENERAL
Gold: Roald Synnevåg / Norway „Kannesteinen”
Silber: Brian Hopper / Ireland „Move over“
Bronze: Mikhail Palinchak / Ukraine „Lady in black”

I love this kind of shot - great light and composition, in my view. Beautiful work on the hands.

Best,
jon

I like much, especially the anachronism between the characters and the situation. Not great a deal to be really criticized. Excuse me for my English, that is not either my daily language, the third at least. Best.

Great! This is a picture you thinking of.

Lovely contrast of expresion between the woman in the photo & the man. Nice tones to fit the mood.

Nice tonality. I like the emotion and form as well.

The title of the photo - "Favourite of fortune"

Does he know where those lips have been?

:)

2 flipthom: Yes, He know, he is also photographer!

So that's you, misu?

Ana, he is also photographer but it is not me!

Nice job! Funny too.

hahaha

So I can't help but wonder with a topic named "Human Body" what the *!@$ did people expect to be posted? The line between "art" and "eroticism" and "pornography" is not as some wish to believe a clear line, it is a gray and fuzzy boundary that each sees and interprets individually. I vote: ART

And as for the issue of "safe for work," I don't know where you all work, but my experience is that I would have no more problem with a nude on my computer than I would with a photo of a flower. Work is not for Vazaar; and Vazaar is not for work. (Except for Brandon, of course)

Dear Bob, I am realy glad that You think so and that you write this. Because my English don't allow me to write this, but I think the same. I hope soon on Vazaar will be topic NUDE!

For anyone who is coming in late on this, there is an additional conversation in the Vazaar Discussion group. That is where I'll focus my follow-up on the subject:

groups.google.com/group/vazaar/browse_thread/threa...

Bob... during my lunch (I eat at my desk) I like to browse vasaar and a few other photo blogs.
And it wasn't in the "human body" topic that it was opened, but when it was featured on the front page.

ART!
