The Touch

Bless my cotton socks I'm in the news...

Feedbackappreciated.

You have created a beautiful, complex, abstract yet real photograph. The bright highlights and deep, yet detailed, shadows create an image that is more graphical then figurative. The smile on the rear model is very appealing as is the gesture of her hand as it lightly touches the breast of the other. The background is subtle yet effective. This is the first of your photographs, David, where I wish you had removed the red pepper.

You have done it now David... exposed the true depth of your talent.

If you guessed that I would like this, then you were correct. The composition and lighting are superb and I love the triangular shapes. This probably would not have worked as well in color.

According to my habit, when a photo is good, well framed, when the subject is attracting and meaningful, when the tones are right, I have nothing to add.

My "usual" nitpick: this time the "pepper" interferes with the navel piercing.

Aungshita, Thanks for the comment.

Mark, You are one of the most respected critiquers on this site. You really study the image before making a comment. This is very humbling and very much appreciated. I hear what you say about the chilli. To be honest, I don't know why I didn't move it. Thanks a lot.

Dave, I am not sure what you mean to be honest but thanks for the positive feeling your comment gave me.

Owen, I have given up guessing what people might like and what they do not like. That said, I am always happy when people do like my images. I do have the colour version and you are correct. It just doesn't have the impact. Thanks a lot.

Luca, Knowing you like it is enough. I hear what you say about the chilli. As I said to Mark, I should have moved it.

Thanks everyone.

Hello David, this is a beautiful photo, the light is brilliant, you can see the goosebumps on the lighted arm it gives a sensual feeling, the compo is exciting, I will not talk about the red pepper, you and I know.... I like this new work, in my eyes more pure

I am not sure I deserve your kind comment but I will just pretend I do. One point though... this is quite an old image. Thanks a lot!

So fortunate are we who can get more than one woman to sit together... Lovely David!

The background contributes to the atmosphere and feeling of the picture.  I like it.  I also wonder why some anonymous raters dont appreciate this picture more.  Ben

I am glad you like it and I do appreciate your comment. I have no interest in any rating unless it is accompanied by a comment. For me, it is comments that count. Thanks for yours.
