:))))

comments welcome

It leaves me indiferent really. I'm not an expert on this kind of photography but this is the way i feel. I dont think this pose is particularly flattering for the model or interesting, maybe a bit vulgar and provocative. The composition also is a bit weak imho, the left arm and elbow are cut by the frame, the head and hair are cut in an awkward place there is part of her tummy which appears as a dark shape between her leg. I like the grain effect however, and the model is beautiful and would deserve a better treatment in my opinion. Regards - michel

not one of your best !

Go back to what you are good at

"Go back to what you are good at"

 

Probably the worst advice that could be given to someone wanting to be creative.

 

I think there is a lot of potential in exploring this type of image. I don't think you're quite there yet, but I encourage you to trying new things, be creative, and not get stuck in the mud.

If this is to be Art, face ought to be in focus, with less nasal shade, the buttocks rounder (feed your models :-), and the armpits far better resolved vis-a-vis aesthetics of skin folds and lighting. The comment on a singular undifferentiated 'blackness' of the derriere and the tummy is likewise sound. The woman's beautiful face is the most powerful critique of the rest of the photograph, save the pose, which, in itself, CAN be rendered naturally attractive and named less laconically. A brave attempt at a difficult composition.

I'm not completely all right with these comments. On the contrary I find the brilliant and original idea. In the photography of nude it is necessary to innovate and to be creative, to find new perspectives. This photo without being technically completed is very erotic and sensual. Good idea Dag.
