good image, great body/figure/pose and a different angle with the head at the bottom of the shot, almost upside down.

Great shot John. Like the different angle of view. Congrats.

Very nice John!

Nice perspective, John ... perfect tones (as usual ... ). Best regards.

The unusual angle and the model looking at the camera makes for a different but terrific glamour nude. The number of triangles and the curve of her body are nice elements that help draw the eye around the photograph. I alos like the glow of her oiled skin.

Very nice, John!  You did everything perfectly - even the towel to protect the floor.  I'm impressed.  However, when you don't title them you do lose procedure points.

i like the style of photography...

Your photos in this wonderful...

Many thanks to all and to the wonderful model that is reading this ... she just wrote to ask if I want to spend some time with her this summer, what a question .. !

Jerry:  a very interesting point that I don't think anyone has raised before, thank you. I thought about it for quite a while.  It's not just that I have run out of imagination, which is hopefefully understandable after a couple of thousand shots, it's also that I believe that it is for the viewer to make up his mind and not the photographer, unless he has a very particular message to bring across. It's so personal all this, ins't it?  This shot actually is a take  on the Marilyn Monroe calender pose. I climbed up on a ladder to get it. Actually, I would have preferred the photo without the towel, but oil plus a dusty outdoor balcony floor would be a little unkind to the model ...

I really like this image. I agree with you about the title. This is very much a fine art image and is almost exclusively abour the unusual lines and contrasts. It is and should be up to the viewer to interpret what the see in the image. In some ways it reminds me of some of the paintings (I don't remember the particular school) done in Paris in the early 20th century.

I do agree with you about the towel being slightly distracting, but I can see that it is probably necessary with the oil on her body. kudos to you both.

Holy smokes this is nice! The pose is simply perfect. Nicely done by the model and you.

Excellent pose and expression! This is not a "typical John Peri" but nevertheless a marvellous shot!

Flexibility !!! . Is she coverd with oil for the shooting ?

A Classic, Well Made! Love the direct gaze too I do.

Excellent work and beautiful composition, cheers

I've come back for another visit to this marvelous image... I just may have to use this pose. About titles... A title, particularly an obscure one, gives the viewer pause, it makes them think about how the title relates to the image and it just may encourage them to spend a little more time with the image. 'They' have determined that the average image in a museum or gallery gets only 3 seconds from a viewer. The more we can provide to have them linger a little longer is a good thing. A title is one of those devises.
Cheers, Raymond

Thanks Raymond .. that is a very interesting point you raise. The truth is that I am frequently at loss tosfind new titles or I really choose stupid ones,  also I have always felt that it may not be right to guide the viewer to a certain way of seeing things, though indeed sometimes it does help to clarify intentions ..  many thanks for pasing by my friend, you are one of my inspirations on PN.
