    Nikoli I kept coming back and looking at this series. The more I looked, the more I liked your concept. Your lighting skills and model placement are excellant as always. The last one was unusual and almost made me think Boo! gotcha

    All I can say is WOW!! Everything from the make-up to the poses, and the models expressions, combined with your excellent lighting, make these look like a puppet. The only thing that gives it away is that there is no strings going to the legs. If you ever use this theme again, how about putting a black screen directly behind her only about head height, with another model protruding over the top of the backdrop pretending to make the puppet move. I'm sure that if anyone could figure out how to make it look correct you'd be the one! Maybe do it as one of your comp's using the same model for both. ne_nau.gif

    Anyway, I can't wait to see what you come up with next!

    Gary, thank you for commenting and suggestion! thumb.gif
    I like your idea of adding the puppet master! clap.gif
    This one was a bit impromptu, but now that we know it works we may plan for a "puppet show" more thoroughly...mwink.gif

    WOW! I love this set, Nikolai!

    All of them are pretty good, but I really think #2 is a step above the rest. In particular, her expressionless face really creates the image of a marionette. Such a beautiful image...

    These are awesome Nikolai. Favorite is the second image and only nit on that one is whatever object is behind her (a chair?).
