Description
LORELEIA tragic heroine from German lore. In despair over a faithless lover, she threw herself into the Rhine. In death, she has become a siren that haunts that river to this day, luring sailors to their doom. Neroli, sandalwood, ylang ylang.

Location: underwater. And they had to add chlorine back into the pool the day before we shot. Bastards. I was seeing through a grey film for hours afterwards -_-

ah i remember being at lorelei's rock, even though it is long ago...
i think this is the next to the whine and the castles around the most known attraction to tourists.
well well i have to admit i like this dark version and how you interpreted it! the real place is all bright and shiny most of the time but this dark version brings back the tragic that lies within this story.
when i remember correctly there has been a ship accident nearby this rock last year...
oh sorry for the nonestop chatting. xD'' to keep it short: i really like everything of this pic. xD

My real name is a variation of Lorelei. It's an old family name. My German ancestors were into the lore and my last name also has a basis in fairy tales. I've been fascinated with this character for a long time, and I think you captured her well. Beautiful picture.

Wow! When I saw the thumbnail I thought that this was a painting, I agree with the commment in the Daily Deviation box that it is breathtaking, You put across this feeling of someone that is both fragile, tormented , beautiful yet surreal.

Amazing!
You even made this through chlorine in your eyes?
I'm completely fascinated by the softness of it all and it really fits the folklore.
Fantastic job!

Well, it looks OK, quiet good work, but it's a bit hm... stale as a image somehow. But I guess it's quiet a hard work making those images.
I would have suggested more warm background light.
Depending on the context and how modern you wanted the picture to be, I would say that a dress with longer details would have been better, to somehow better portray the innocence/siren combination.
