Patricia

Would love to hear comments and critiques of this image. Thanks for

your time and Happy Shooting :)

Lovely light and shadow capture Peter!  And Patricia is a stunning model!  Well done!

Michael, Thanks very much for the input. This is the first nude shoot that I have done and I know there is a lot to learn with this genre that is new to me. I greatly appreciate the feedback.

Sincerely,

Peter

Well, if this is your first attempt at nudes, I'd say you're well on your way my friend!  Best regards, Michael

A sensuous image indeed.

Tony, 

Thanks very much for the comment! It lets me know that I am on track with what I think I am portraying. As I mentioned, nudes are new to me so the feedback is helpful.

Sincerely,

Peter

Indeed an excellent shot, very elegant work.

I like the 2/3 composition in this case. Some may question the validity  of the arm leaving the frame, but personally I do not think there are any rules in photography, it is either good or it isn't (I wish was being original, but I am not, I am quoting Ansel Adams), and this shot works very well like this. The expression is a definite plus also, bravo. 

Addendum:  I just noted above that this is one of your first attempts at nude work.  You should definitely continue, such fine work is appreciated on PN. 

John, 

Thanks so much for your comments! I have been admiring your work for quite some time and your words carry a lot of weight for me. The timing is great especially at this time as I have been in a bit of a photographic slump. Your comment is an inspiration to believe in myself and get rolling again!

Thanks again,

Peter

As Gary Winogrand said... Tilt? What tilt? I like the tilted horizon I do and nice work with the lights and dark... Lovely Indeed!
