Thank you for sharing your impressions. And Merry Christmas and a

Happy New Year to all my friends at Photo Net!

beautiful pose and presentation, fantastic light for shadowing.  subject dynamics are spot on, well seen. Bravo...

Thank you for your comments Brother, and I look forward to seeing a lot more of your beautiful work on here!

Other then the nudity, there is an interesting androgeny about her look. I like this photograph very much, Michael. The pose and expression work quite well with the light to show her body well.

Thanks so much Mark.  This, and a similar pose, are two of my favorites of Erin.

Thank you Pierre.  I appreciate you taking the time to comment!

Very nice one, bordering  on the backstage , which I particularly like as you know. 

I have yet to fully understand fully why a woman often expresses so much self confidence when her clothes are removed. Is it related to no longer being subjected to the artifices of clothing and style on which so many others judge us?  The young lady is perfectly at ease here, she really looks "at home" so as to say. A very enjoyable shot, bravo.

Wishing you a very happy Christmas Michael.  John

Hi John,

Yes, I suppose you could call it a backstage shot, huh? 

You pose a good question.  Also, I can't tell you how many women I've shot nude for their first time in the past, and although very apprehensive, after the shoot, told me how freeing it was for them.  I'm sure you've experienced the same thing with many of your models.  I don't know, there's some relationship to being nude in front of others, and just flowing with it, that coincides with the feeling of shedding everything... not just clothes.

Thank you John, and you and yours have a very Merry Christmas too!

Best,

Michael
