It is a bit underexposed to my eye but I like it better than the average Timmer pic. Less cluttered but more interesting to me

I’ve always been fascinated by the real grim fairy tales, as in the original Grimm’s fairy tales.

smf85, exposure can be in the mind's eye or the brightness of the monitor; viewing on mine the exposure is el-Perfect0. The subject, the model, are very interesting. The labia detail of the photo provide a good view of inner labia extended beyond the labium majus; some labia are plain some a work of nature art.
The set is simple with rope and stick. Only comment is clone in the white at the very top of the left third.
The Samhain-Religion certainly is much more interesting than the small town Baptist Church offered. I would have attended every Sunday for sure.

"Samhain is a pagan religious festival originating from an ancient Celtic spiritual tradition. In modern times, Samhain (a Gaelic word pronounced “SAH-win”) is usually celebrated from October 31 to November 1 to welcome in the harvest and usher in “the dark half of the year.”

Well, yours is a lot better than Timmers’ usual fare.
I am not impressed with either this or Timmers as far as subject matter or photo quality isn't much either but to each his own

I thought I was finished seeing his name when I stopped looking at his snapshots. But John is right; this is better.

Falls short of the drama which is attempted to be demonstrated. Though marginally better than timmer's posts, it seems to fall short in its representation.

My read of the legends suggested that there wasn’t a lot of drama to the sacrifices.
They weren’t being killed, rather more that would be expected to appease and pleasure the Fomorians. The binding preserved their modesty, no free woman would want to be shown off like a slave - but they had to be accepted so....no choice and modesty is preserved.
That type of concept/idea and a whole bunch of similar ideas existed throughout the cultures of that era.

I’ve noticed that if the brightness is right in the image it’s often dark in web view. I suspect that the image viewers compensate for the monitor but the browser doesn’t (always). But thats browsers for you - bunch of separate technologies force fit onto a hypertext viewer original concept. Some are better some are worse and their all implemented differently on each platform. I’ll cut the rant off - I’ve been dealing with browsers since their very beginning.... I think I could go several hours without repeating anything. LOL.
