nude: tanning 2

Shot in a tanning booth with daylight E100SW film. Comments appreciated.

First of all, maybe, because of her fine physique. But then there's that nice blue color; those interesting orbs (the one's over her eyes, I mean); and the organic angularity of her form against the inorganic gridlines. But I think what drew my eye here more than anything else is simply the interesting negative spaces formed by her arms.

On the down side, I think the definition and contrast could be greater. And the image might hold more interest if it were a rectangular shot of her entire body.

Lastly, weren't you worried about your eyes here? Those rays can do severe short term damage and, long term, cause cataracts. All that said, though, this is still very interesting and enjoyable.

Different. Sort of a cross between Jupiter Space and Beyond the Infinite in that movie, and the Men in Black or the Matrix. I don't find it engaging in a figure study way, but I think the theme is different enough to make it stand out among the nudes posted. A good idea lurking in this subject. Try experimenting with darker shading in the eyes, or even black is my suggestion. And if this has been cropped,perhaps just a little navel would not be out of place too. Yeoman piece of work for the green and blue color look that is in such fashion these days...thanks for the opportunity to comment. (I dont do ratings,just comments once in a while.) I think you are showing some imagination in this one. Aloja,Gerry

Original shot

cool!

A full-length shot would have worked better, IMHO, but this shows good imagination. The shields over her eyes add nicely to the overall effect, as does her expressionless face. Very sci-fi, cyborg-ish, 2001-A-Space-Odyssey-ish... I love the image.

I've always liked this image, although I've not commented on it until now. Sure it's a beautiful girl and she's naked, but the human form with those bizarre oval glasses and the regular gridwork of the booth make for an interesting juxtaposition of forms which is really neat. Oh yeah, and that crazy color. I see you mentioned trying this with Tungsten film soon, I can't wait to see that.

I would love to see this white balanced and all in all very high key, so you get the sensation of burning heat when you see it. But I like it this way too, just an idea I think I would like to see also.

 

Good work here the frame is filled well and balanced.
