EDITORS COMMENTS
by Gordon Nicoll: A Captivating Scene of Enchantment and Malevolence In this stunning and enigmatic photograph by Gordon Nicoll, we find a young, pretty blonde-haired girl standing gracefully with her back to a stone wall, her delicate form clad in a large, pristine white tutu and red ballet shoes. The scene is set in a mysterious and fantastical garden, where the dappled sunlight casts intriguing shadows on the ground, and the air is thick with an aura of magic and wonder. But as the viewer's gaze lingers, a sinister presence begins to reveal itself. Hidden in the shadows, the devil makes an appearance, peeping round the side of the entrance through the wall, his malevolent intent clearly evident in his piercing gaze. The juxtaposition of the innocent and the sinister creates a captivating and thought-provoking tableau that is both beautiful and unsettling. The girl, oblivious to the lurking presence behind her, continues to pose, her expression serene and enchanting. The rose in her hand, a symbol of beauty and love, adds an additional layer of meaning to the scene. Is she unaware of the danger that lurks nearby, or is she playing a dangerous game with the devil himself? Gordon Nicoll's masterful use of light, shadow, and composition draws the viewer into this fantastical world, where the line between good and evil is blurred, and the imagination is free to roam. This is a photograph that invites us to ponder the mysteries of life and the human condition, and to appreciate the beauty and allure of the unknown.
