The Ballerina

In this photograph, an ex-ballerina is captured in a moment of contemplation.
Her eyes, though still vibrant, gaze into the distance as if revisiting the stage of her memories. There's a wistful expression, a delicate blend of nostalgia and concern for the future that lingers in the creases of her forehead. The ambiance of the photo, color grading, and delicate post-processing adds to the vintage charm and timeless aura. The play of shadows and light accentuates the contours of her face, underscoring the depth of her emotions.
In the memory of my mom who passed away in September 23rd 2023.
