The beauty of shadowplay
Clothe me in the patterns of shadows darling. Paint my skin in light.
This is gorgeous. The interplay of the shadows with the variations of her skin and body hair is a lovely effect. I didn't realize at first that she was standing in water, and then noticed the light on the surface.

What do you think the lighter pattern on her left thigh is? It looks like a stretch mark but I'm not sure it is that. Maybe a reflection off the water?

In any event, it's very beautiful.

I think it's a scar. It's placement doesn't seem plausible for a stretch mark

Oh, that's a thought. It's a crazy-looking scar if so, in the upper part. It seems to go partly around the back, too. I dread to think what give it to her.

But no, I agree that the stretch mark there seems unlikely. It doesn't seem to fit with the rest of her skin, either.
 
Does it also drive you nuts when you can't see what the book is? That's a charming image, but I always want to know what she's reading and thinking about :)
"What are you reading?" is a great opening question. It tells you first whether they are a reader at all. And then what is engaging their mind. Do they read for story or for information?

I love stories (no surprise if you've ever looked at my sig) and I love books (one of the first threads I found on Lit that confirmed I'd found a place I belong is 'Top Shelf'

Looks like a novel to me. Or maybe a small collection of short stories.

The ability to lose myself in a book, a story, has been essential to me my whole life.

Yes, very true. Another reason why libraries and bookshops are such fine places to meet people; the first hurdle is already likely met. Photographs, on the other hand, are much more frustrating, because the model can't hear you asking what the book is :)

I had, but not for some time. And it reminds me: it had quite slipped my mind to ask whether you're a will-o'-the-wisp?

Yes, probably. It's a paperback. The disconnect between people's resting faces and what is on their minds has always fascinated me. I saw a photo recently of young men walking down a street in early 1939, with a caption commenting that they showed no awareness of the impending war. I wondered what the caption-writer thought their facial expressions would have looked like if they had!

Likewise.

It's she studying a pattern or is she taking a break from her sewing.
I love that she is in her own work space and wearing just as little as she wants.
