B/W Downlight - Sitting Nude

This is one of my favorite pictures of myself...

Boy, when compared to most of your other photos you didn't get many comments on this one did you!

I have news for you, this doesn't even come close to being as good as the photo of you lying next to your photographs after you finished mounting them and getting them ready for you show. You have deliberately left out your face in many of your photos because you want the "body" to be the art. Too bad, because your face is the best part of you and it isn't shown here. Also, you look too bony(sp) and the shadows are too harsh. Again, its disappointing when one can't see what one wants to see. Kevin

Everyone has an opinion...as I said, I like this picture, its one of my favorites.

When doing anything creative, the first rule should be please yourself...if you happen to create something good, it will please others as well. I am enjoying watching you find your voice...

The lighting in this shot is excellent. The posing is also interesting. My only suggestion here is to alter where the hair is - there is a strand dangling down your back - the image might look a little better if the strand was either moved or more of your hair was allowed to stream down your back.

the overall image represents "intertwining" to me... knots if you will.

 

It'd be interesting to see how it would look if you braided your hair and let it fall on your back to cover the formentioned "boney" look.

 

Nice image though. You could have also filled up the frame more. But still... very good! =)

Gives a real sense of isolation. Great photo.

This is just my view. I'd like to see your left arm inclines more to the left side so that the light will lie along your left arm, balancing the light on the right arm and the left leg.

Also, exposing your neck would balance the strength on your back and shoulders. A woman's neck would express the softness of feminine.

Looking at the picture, I see a woman with only one hope that is too high above her. She looks so depressed.

This whole folder is very original. The composition of all photos is just incredible. It's hard for many of us to achieve that while we behind camera, you managed to do that while being in front! If you could share your technic of self portraite with us-that would be great! Of course, very few of us would look as stunning in front of camera as you.
