"Contour"

July 2003.

Surprised that this isn't getting higher ratings. I usually don't like nudes, but this one is well done and interesting.

I like Regina's comment!

 

I feel a lot of people rating 'Nudes' do so because they want to look at naked bodies and are not so much taken with art.

 

For those people I could see this would be a bit of a disappointment.

 

This is very good indeed. Well done!

very nicely done...captures the soft, subtle curves that makes a well-done nude appealing. creative and well executed.

I think this is very creative and presented well. I love it.

Excellent essential image.

Very artistic.

Lovely shot!

Again, the use of negative space is excellent. The difference between the hard lines of the hair could use a slight, again 2 pixel dodge... is this what is meant by request for critique? lol The line of the hip and back of a woman is one of the most beautiful in nature I believe. Possibly just a 5% transparency of her dorsal muscles, along the spine would likely complete this... but again these are rather trivial comments, as a whole I enjoy the work a great deal. Especially the movement of sharp reality of the head to the almost charcoal line of her hip create a transition like dream to wakening. Well done.
