Carly_Erin_Dance_08

A woman in thought! I always wonder what they are thinking. She looks like she is concentrating on something she is looking at. Love the natural light in this one. I might have preferred all of the knee to be in the shot but maybe it would have been too large a hot spot.

Fantastic appeal and the simplicity. Casual mood you captured so lovely that  the composition comes out with a very lively approach. Nice light management. Expression is priceless and so the choice of b/w. Fantastic. 

Wishing you a very happy and joyful season.

Thanks for sharing. All the best. Regards.

An authentic portrait with lots of character and feeling. love this one, bravo Mark.

fantastic natural light. me too loves the tone and the bw as well

I love your naturalistic treatment of this model. Is that slight flare in the bottom of the frame? There is a dated feel to it that is at once endearing and earthy.

Very nice Mark... has feeling!

Nudes are not for all and they often cannot understand!

Maurizio from Italy, what more is there to understand? Please be a little more explicit and elaborate on your statement in the context of this image.

Thank you all for the comments. This was made on B&W fim and scanned from the negative. The flare is a result of actual flare and some uneven light in my inexpensive film scanner.
