Description
I found this woman truly captivating and I took many photographs of her. While a lot of us are afraid to wear a bathing suit if we gain a pound, this woman reminiscent of a Botero painting, moved gracefully around in her purple bathing suit examining things as if she saw them for the first time. Every movement she made was another photo waiting to be taken.

Michele Penner
The more I look at it, the more I like it. She touches your heart - at least she does mine - the way she is gazing out at the ocean.
Madeline Ellis replied:
Michele, you couldn't have said it more beautifully. Thanks for taking the time!

It is so nice that you found beauty in this woman!
Madeline Ellis replied:
It was her childlike innocence that captured me. She really appreciated her surroundings picking up shells along the way. You can see how she is looking out. The purple bathing suit, well that says it all.
Madeline Ellis replied:
Barbie, thanks so much for taking a look and leaving a comment. Much appreciated.

What a shot, Madeline. Double took on this. Yes, she is captivating...and comfortable with herself in her purple bathing suit w/hat. I wonder what she is thinking as she stares out to sea? Wonderful work...as are the others in your gallery.
