WoW Dana... This is Fantastic it IS! I may have to beg/borrow/steal this pose too I may.

I am a fan of photos with 'bones.' I must say that the bones here are a little too pronounced for my taste or lack thereof. I too like the pose but there is something about the composition that I cannot put my finger on. Perhaps it is the centrality of the subject.

Raymond.  Thanks for the compliment and you are welcome to beg/borrow/steal whatever you want from me.  I just want to see the result when you are done.

David.  First, composition.  I tend to agree that it may be too centered.  Typically, I don't do this but decided not to post-crop this photo.  This is how it got shot.  Not that it matters and I will try a different crop for you.  Second, she is quite thin (i.e. no body fat) but very fit (not anorexic).  She practices a type of japanese inspired movement called Butoh, which makes her very flexible and very strong.  Butoh is also practiced nude or with a loin cloth, which makes her very comfortable and confident with nude modeling. I guess this is my long-winded way of saying her bones are part of her beauty.     

Thanks for the feedback.  Dana...

Great use of form and lighting - nicely done.

Howard.  Thanks a lot for looking and commenting.  It is a pretty big deal for me, especially coming from you.  All the best.  Dana...
