I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you are talking about here.

are you serious? Don't you know the poet and painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti? He and the pre-raphaelites are the reason why YOU do such things. Anyway I was wrong, it was not Rossetti but Millais who painted Ophelia.

Take a look here to understand what I'm talking about: [link]

Sorry, I'm very much aware of those artists. However, they were not in my mind when I made this photo and it was not a conscious attempt to portray Ophelia. That interpretation has been applied to it by many viewers and I don't dispute that the viewer sees what they see in any art work, but that was not my intent.

And, frankly, I'm not that huge a fan of the pre-raphaelites...I think there are very important differences in intent and content with my work. But if you see that in what I do, I'll certainly not argue with you. And I'm always pleased that anyone likes what I do for any reason.

Thanks.

Thank you for considering my comparison, even if with artists you're not fan of. Anyway I was only admitting your work striked me first because of that a priori comparison, but, I loved your work because it is clearly beautiful.
