Torso Study 4

This is a wonderful photograph that shows her form and strength beautifully. The lighting and presentation in toned B&W is well chosen.

Nicely done sculptured effect Dana!

Thanks Mark.  Her form and experience posing made me look good I think.  I am glad you liked the tone and commented because I am always a bit conflicted on what looks best.  Dana...

Thanks Michael C.  I thought it looked a bit like a sculpture as well.  Dana...

Great use of light here Dana which really defines her abs and rib cage... Nice!

i must say I do prefer the more conventional. This is because I have a very simple mind. I do admire the muscle tone of the model. I hope I am allowed to say that. 

Raymond and David.  Thanks for the looks and comments.  Raymond, I appreciate the compliment on the lighting and am glad you think it worked.  David, sometimes simple is best and I do tend to overthink things.  I think it is fair to admire her strength and will pass on the appreciation.  All the best to you both.  Dana...

It's all been said really, other possibly than it resembles in composition, lighting and texture, some works produced before the middle of the last century, which adds to it's interest and merit. A very pleasing study, bravo.  

John.  Thanks for the look and comment.  Dana...
