About fairies and elves...

It has been one of those undoubtedly rare moments in the life of a photographer in which a quickly jerked up camera and an offhand shot turn out to become a portrait capable of engendering dreams in the beholder... dreams of a kingdom of fairies and elves, inhabited by creatures of magnificent loveliness, blessed with grace and tenderness...
I just cannot put it any other way.

Model at the "Tuning World Bodensee" in Friedrichshafen, Germany. May 2010.

Canon EOS 5D Mk II, EF 70-200mm f 2.8L IS USM @ 200 mm, ISO 640, f 1:4, 1/160 s.
