Matryoshka, - all is not good by maggiemae

Matryoshka, - all is not good

Poor Ekaterina , the sweet little girl from Russia had been introduced to vodka. She looks as if she needs some help!

But Georgy( her hopeful boyfriend) with his tongue in the right place in his mouth as we do) has mastered standing on one leg to music!

This scene will look good on the Black.

Three good things:
1. Eka ( the shortened version) found a nice dark place to sleep.
2. This scenario was suggested by hubby - he’s naughty!
3. The thrush’s three note song entranced me, outside on this misty and cold but actually a Spring day!
it will all end in tears.

@gooner46 Do you think so, Chris? This wee girl comes from very strong stock and just may come out of it better than you think!

Wonderful shot and reflection.

A very mysterious scene , and poor little Eka having imbibing in Vodka , does she realise how strong it is !! And where is that useless Georgy boy -- standing and dancing on one leg indeed !! he should be there to protect Eka . Thank goodness she has found somewhere warm and cosy to sleep it off !!

@beryl Indeed, Beryl! The passage through life when you are a young and naive Russian girl is a difficult one!

Georgy should be ashamed of himself plying Eka with drink! She can hardly stand up by the looks of her while Georgy is whooping it up! Very wisely he's wearing his Russian fur hat....hope Eka's father isn't after his guts!

@happypat Eka's father is a Prince, Pat and he's always away on business! She gets up to all sorts of pranks then!

wonderful lighting
September 24th, 2016  
An amazing cxomposition that illustrates the story so well! Looking forward to the next installment

Poor little Eka was introduced to the strong Russian vodka, but instead of dancing like Georgy, it made her so sleepy. hope she's not having a hang over when she wakes up.
September 25th, 2016  
@bruni I think little Eka is having dreams about Georgy but drinking vodka doesn't help!
September 25th, 2016  
Gorgeous on black...........love the lighting!
September 25th, 2016  
eka will regret it all in the morning.
September 25th, 2016  
@chard She might have to drop in at the Russian Chemists soon, do you think, Richard?
September 25th, 2016  
Indeed this image looks great on black...#2 naughty influence makes for fun :)
September 25th, 2016  
Fun capture! I really like the lighting in this photo!
September 25th, 2016  
@fayefaye I took several shots at this container using different lighting, Faye so it was a learning experience as well as being fun!
September 25th, 2016  
That is what I need to warm me up.
September 25th, 2016  
@yaorenliu Are you cold? - really, not surprised, NZ is huddling against cold and winter temperatures!
September 25th, 2016  
Brilliant & mysterious shot, that Georgy should be ashamed, Eka, (love the shortened name) will feel so terrible when she wakes, will she trust him again?? Love this next chapter..waiting for more...Fav

@happysnaps I think the Darkness involved Eka's decision to have more than 6 straight vodkas, Valerie!
September 25th, 2016  
Nice use of light and shadow... her judgement might be off a bit?
September 25th, 2016  
Beautiful light Maggie!
September 25th, 2016  
@jackie8 @kandkids Its the night life in Moscow that is all wrong for her, Karen and Jackie - but maybe that was back in the '70's! Who knows!
September 25th, 2016  
Lovely lighting and for sure it will end in tears
September 25th, 2016  
@dawnee I think so, my friend from the North!
September 25th, 2016  
a mysterious, thought provoking image, creatively staged. Lovely!
September 25th, 2016  
Gorgeous light!
September 25th, 2016  
Really great shot.
September 25th, 2016  
Love this image.
September 25th, 2016  
Stunning golden reflections
September 25th, 2016

Lee
I'm confused.
September 25th, 2016  
lovely ...fav
September 25th, 2016  
You are so funny
September 25th, 2016  
Eka may well be looking for a dark corner to dissappear into! Georgy might be in need of some physio after all the one legged dancing.
September 25th, 2016  
Love your lighting
September 25th, 2016  
awesome set up ! wonderful warm feel to this capture, great lighting
fav
September 25th, 2016  
@gamelee me too, Lee - can't you tel?
September 25th, 2016  
Whoops! Vodka is not a good friend in the long run. It's better to learn how to paint those amazing Ukranian Easter Eggs.
September 25th, 2016  
@olivetreeann You mean the jewelled eggs of Faberge? Ekaterina has one of those on her bedroom dresser!
September 25th, 2016  
Very nice image !
September 25th, 2016  
No, although those are just as beautiful. Here are some pictures of the ones I'm talking about.

Made me smile with your narrative -- and beautiful work with lighting too!
September 26th, 2016  
@olivetreeann Oh wow! I wonder what sort of paint they use!
September 26th, 2016  
Lovely low key xx
September 26th, 2016  
The start of a new adventure. Love the lighting.
September 26th, 2016  
Mystery lighting
September 26th, 2016

September 27th, 2016
