There is something immediately compelling about BHfoto's fascinating photograph, 'canyon dance of the bighorn'. On the one hand it's a classic nude, the model in a pose that is a striking blend of ballet and modern - thus perhaps the allusion to dance in the title, but the model is in fact just as clearly a rock climber. Perched between canyon walls, the tension in every muscle reveals solid striations that echo the eroded walls of the sun bleached crevice.

The glimmer of light against skin and bald head is repeated in a sensual dance as pillows of light fade into the diffuse forms of the canyon blurring quietly away - forming a lovely halo around the figure.

While the tension of the model is a clear focus in the image, her expression is curious and deliberate. Technically the work is lovely - the nuance of light and shadow, the terrific display of gently contrasting colors and forms, the extremely refined balance of found shapes are all testament to an accomplished image maker.

I don't generally find much in images of this nature. They are often a little vapid for my taste with apparent focus on the objectification or sexualization of the model, but this image seems to genuinely reach beyond the cliche and present us with a challenging image that is certainly sublime in the classic sense, and that leaves us fascinated with the revelation of forms and figures.

What do you think?
