Supporting Arms

One of my first session doing nudes, and my first male/female couple

nude session.

Good photo, but the fake boobs look terrible in nudes. Nudes to most people are art, art of the natural human form, and plastic balls are not natural. They look like they are just sitting there. This is in now way to critique the actual photo you took. For your next nude, I suggest finding a subject that is real.

I agree about the fake boobs. They are all I can look at because they are so ugly! I can't figure out why women do that to themselves. Okay, after looking at in in large, I can see the man has a lovely piercing, can't figure that out either, but since they both seem to be into manipulating their bodies, they'll probably really love this picture, and that's all that matters. Right?

Still looks like a tire commercial!

"Still a tire commercial"??? What are you trying to say? Can we get past the fact of whether or not people like or don't like the piercings or fake breasts, and give me some constructive feedback on the technical merits, or lack of?

This is a well thought-out, masterfully executed studio photograph. I wonder how many on photo.net could do as well? Although I do not find piercings and other body alterations attractive, that is only my personal preference. This is a photo, presented as a work of art, and I feel no need to interject my personal tastes into my assesment of the image on its merits.

Being a former bodybuilder and having piecing and tattoos... I really like this. I personally don't have problems with implants. I think this is a GREAT photo! The lighting is well done. The pose communicates the title. I think the models are awesome. I would love to see this shot as a landscape to show the entire length of her body. Keep up the good work.

Dave, did I talk about piercing and boobs? Not at all! I talked about tires. And what do tires have inside? Air, like the chests of your subjects do plenty of, even too much of. And there is something more: theres a tension, not the one in the composition (which is right), but in the posture of the two bodies: an ARTIFICIAL tension. And this artificiality sent my mind to rubber, as replacing material, like the plastics are too. Finally, guess what gives rubber + air? Of course, the "tire" metaphor applies at all, except for the penis, which looks more like digging in the dirt. Constructive critique? Try something more natural. This picture looks just too... bombastic.

Rex, you mean to say "boobastic"?

I think when comenting on the picture it is appropriate to comment on the subject as well, because choice of subject IS part of the techinical merit of a photo. A misplaced tatoo, or overlarge breasts can make change the whole composition and feel of a picture.

 

That being said, this picture would not work if the girl wasnt so enhanced. The guy is in great shape. His bicepts and pecs are obviously being flexed. The girl would not stand out as much from him if she wasnt so large. Overall, I like the pic. Great shot!

Here is one way to re-compose the image. It helps to take the focus away from the breast. The hand of the man in the shadow of the arch become the focus - emphasising the sense of support and care.

Nice lighting. I can even appreciate the composition. And while we're discusing it, I have no problem with piercings, implants, tattoos, or any other body manipulation someone may use to express themself. The problem with the implants in this case is that they don't fall natuarally and it makes for an awkward feel.
