'Woman and a Sculpture'
The sculpture of a pregnant woman and a worried woman hidden by the leaves in the background, together form a new reality. It is the main value of, and the reason for, this photograph. It is not difficult to understand the meaning, so I will not underestimate you by going into great detail.
The strong punch of purple dominates over the greens and the background, while small accents of red and pink try to counter it. Diffused, non-directional lighting adds sadness and heaviness to the image. The sculpture is positioned more to the right side of the frame but still not enough for a perfectly balanced composition. I deliberately did this to let the sculpture completely dominate the woman in the background.
Enjoy! :)

You really managed to create a story behind this image, @velimir! On the one hand, the sculpture in the foreground has a childish look and face, the image of a woman half done, as clay is still done, is molded. And at the end, behind the sculpture, the woman worried in the shadows. I observe how the sculpture walks like an automaton among flowers. Good exercise! Greetings
thank you!
It's a pretty dramatic sculpture, in my opinion. If it seems very sad, the flowers around give a certain charm but the composition is still heavy.
it is heavy, very heavy, i agree!
This image of us, my view has two meanings. In my subjective opinion, this shows the reality. One of them creates a new life, while a second woman is concerned about the present moment. That is, one "woman" lives so that she is ready to create a new life or, more simply, she sacrifices herself to raise offspring in the future. At the same time, another woman lives exclusively in the "present moment" and does not worry about the future.
This can be interpreted further. I do not know if I managed to express my thought completely. I have not fully returned to the usual schedule :)
could be so :) it is open for interpretation. most art should be
This is a good photograph because it has something special: firstly, the artistic eye of the good friend @velimir and, secondly, the strength of the image that moves deep feelings. We observe the sculpture with that vibrant purple that catches our first impression and makes us think of the new life it carries in its belly. And at the end, lagging behind, submerged in worries, another woman whose expressions are not seen but by the position of her hand, we would say that she is worried. From here on, there could be many interpretations. What will worry this woman? A hug, @velimir.
there is a strong thought process going on here. very nice! i really like your observations.

@velimir, excelente fotografía. Poco que agregar a tu tan completa (aunque condensada) interpretación plástica y semántica de tu propia creación. Los elementos que destacas y sus relaciones son, sin duda, los constitutivos centrales de la estética de tu fotografía. Solo resaltaría dos aspectos que me parecen relevantes: el juego de las distancias, que influye en la interpretación de la casi inasible relación entre las dos mujeres; y el carácter aparentemente "inacabado" y rústico de la escultura femenina, que, como una mujer primigenia y mítica, brota de la vegetación (reina en medio de la naturaleza).
