Nude Gisele Bundchen - Irving Penn, Vogue, April 2006 - Hair Inspiration of the Day

I love the photograph, the stillness, the peace.
You may assume that Gisele's body is the driving force here and my eye does wander across but it does not linger, it merely registers.
What I am drawn to is her face and how focused she seems.
Especially her hair has me transfixed; It is simple yet full of vibrancy. It is 'meant' to appear so easy that it could have been the result of just having returned from the beach not having bothered to wash, comb and dry.
That vibrancy, that life that can be felt beneath, that depth is what I am drawn to.
I cannot take my eyes off.
