Lovely nude study, the models pose and expression are very elegant

John and Carlos, i am not here to insult anyone or in any way his artistic work. but to be honest i am not here to sugar coat anyone either which i most admit i have done it already on a few occasions. The way i say it it`s the way i see it. And now i know that details are not really a way to critique art! I think there is a huge gap between "mine" and John`s artistic work for him to get offense to my comment in anyway. I could only dream and hope that one day to get as close as possible without being a copycat to what you guys are doing. And this "communication" will help me -and others like me- achieve that goal. I hope you understand that because of my 'over the top' comment you guys just 'teach me a first lesson' and i thank you both. If i liked it? Its like swiss chocolate :)

Insults coming from you? No Romeo, no way, you aren't insulting neither I'm offended.

Perhaps it's my fault because sometimes I sound a little belligerent, you know, passion for photography and ideas sometimes led me to a mess with someones.

Your opinion is as valuable as the mine or the opinion of anyone.

Here we are expressing our points of view and that's all. If my comment is the reason of your upset then I beg your pardon.

Romeo, you have every right to your opinion and no one said the contrary. Thank you also for expressing it. What people do not always understand however is that others, including the author, also have a right to theirs, and whereas they find it perfectly normal to say what they think, they no longer always share that feeling when one replies!

 

I think it is excellent that different viewpoints are shared in this manner, that is what Photo net is all about, but it must be done politely and with courtesy towards other people's feelings, and no one on this page suggested otherwise, least of all Carlos who is the very model of a gentleman, as you can see from his more than gracious response to you. Best wishes to you and to the others also, John

 

 

its all a misunderstanding.

Although this foto is excellent, it has a different emotional impact on the viewer than most of your others. It does not have the glamour, or "joie de vie" usually seen in your work. Instead, the model comes across as more reflective, and the viewer's emotional response is more subdued, empathizing with the model in a more cerebral manner than usual (I almost expect to see a reflection of a goatee'd artist in a black turtle neck in the foto). Both her facial expression/eyes, the high contrast change in the background, and the use of B&W accentuate this. Kudos to both of you!

AN EXCELLENT SHOT HIGHLIGHTING GOD'S CREATION OF THE HUMAN BODY. LIGHT AND SHADOWS STRESS THE DETAILS WELL ENOUGH. NECK DOWN TO CROTCH THE BODY IS GENTLY DIVIDED.THE PHOTOGRAPHER HAS A VERY HIGH LEVEL OF IMAGINATION AND CONCEPT OF BEAUTY.

 

Great feeling, fine intimacy, wonderful b&w and famous expressions you are able to capture. 7/7

A classic and very elegant shot. the subtle sculpturing of her body excellent in such difficult lighting conditions.

I can't rate you its a 7/7

that you time after time has improved your work, (and one or two years ago you was already the best!!here.) This shot in not only sensual but also delicate and intimate.(I'm not sure you may understand my comment for my poor english). In any way the whole your work is a model, a style.

best regards

Oh dear, I am nowhere near the best at anything. We all just like different things. I am very glad however that you appreciate what I try to do. Thank you Hernest.

I DO like this image! I visited it a couple of times earlier, but wasn't certain what I liked most about it. Hands say alot about an individual. Your model has graceful hands. The manner in which she is holding her left one, as if intending to stroke her hair, enhances the delicate nature depicted in her pose. I like the way her form is situated within the dark, left half of the picture and that the light tones of her body offset, or balance, the bright half of the image on the right. This shot is an intuitive masterpiece on both the part of you, John, and your beautiful friend. Wonderful composition!

wow John! Very delicate and sensual! Tender... I love this image!

Very delicate and elegant...
