Signature work for you, John. The melding of the architecture and the lovely curves and lines of the model are another masterpiece. You continue to inspire and educate me.

OK, John,

It is time that you write a book - not on how to find models but on how to find all of the environmental background situations you use, while not being arrested for some criminal act or another.  I get kicked off of bathing beaches for photographing models in modest bikinis.  I offered an automobile wrecking yard owner good money to allow a photo-shoot in his fenced and hidden property and he refused.  How the heck do you do it?

Again a very nice example of the dream world where naked nymphs wander in hidden places.  My one suggestion here is that the dark hair merges with the dark stair tread.  You might have decided to place her hair on the white part of the step.

May you live to take many million photos, my friend.

Haha, I read your message on getting up this morning Jerry and laughed and laughed ...

I wrote about this once before, so you may have read it already, but I was once doing my nude street photos when I looked at the other side of the narrow street at the pavement opposite and saw three young policemen looking at us (there is a police station just 100 meters away). The problem was not that they might complain, but that they wouldn't go away, there were enjoying the view so much. So I tut-tutted them and  reluctantly went indoors until they left!

Otherwise, I have always found people to be very nice about it. In New York, I always got encouraging remarks, from old ladies especially and to my amazement, three workers on a scaffolding clapped politely with a totally nude model just beneath them, whereas you would expect cat whistles, and generally, people just smile and get on with their life. Most often though I would say no one notices. My photos by the exit to the underground at rush hour in lower Manhattan are a good example of this. I have done photos in public places in France, Greece, Switzerland, again with no problems. Very often, people apologize for being in the way, especially in the street .. but it's not Christmas every day.  If I get locked up one day, I'll give you as a reference .. : -)

 Many thanks for the comment regarding the photo above. You are right about the hair of course, With  lower contrast, it appears nicely, but then the skin tones are not as nice. If one day I learn what PS is all about, I may be able to handle that .. as it is, my PS 7 growls and grunts when I use it.

Delightful nude work(always)!!!

Yes, I too am quite jealous of the locations you find and use John! A very fine image my friend.

Beautiful B/W with a lovely model and pose!

Lovely nude and great composition. She is fantastic, sexy, erotic and sensual. I like very much the alternations of B*W. This image is a masterpiece of modern nude, sincerely. Regards, Frédéric.
