One of the mimes in front of Symphony Hall in Boston. She would stay perfectly motionless but relaxed for ten minutes, then change poses. I like the toes peeking out from under her gown.

"Motionless but relaxed" --- to me that typically means taking a nap not standing like a statue,, lol

Nice shot Doug. The brick background really works in this shot as well. Her makeup matches the concrete's color and her belt matches the bricks.

Yes, good contrast between the bricks and her dress.
Nice expression from this "model".

Hi Doug,

What a lucky find! How high up is she? My problem working on ledges and cliff edges is that several times I've totally forgotten how high up I was and moved the tripod over air! Not good!

The mime is excellently thought out. I wish she had a better flower and would hold the violin and bow properly. Still, this is a wonderful picture and very creative.

Note the feet do not have makeup. I'd copy the tones from her face, perhaps. What do you think?

Asher: She was about three feet off the ground. I shot hand-held at 800 ISO. There is a remarkable lack of noise with the d300. I shot at 1600 a little later and the shots were pretty much noiseless. Of course, I haven't enlarged them much.

I didn't notice that the toes doe not have makeup.

What do you mean by a better flower?

Just a minor niggle: the flower could be fuller and more open! I'd even consider using one of the nicer flowers from your other pictures.
