My confession

... it works!

Thank you David :D

Uhm, do you guys have too a feeling that bigger boobs get higher ratings?  :D

Lovely!!

Gorgeous pastel tones... A lovely image indeed!

-r-

No Gabriele .. : -) .. and do not underestimate your ability to bring across the charm in a personality, as you do above.  This is well composed and, alike Raymond, I like the soft, pastel-like colouring, bravo.  

Technically and aesthetically first class picture! Congratulations, Gabriele!

Best regards

Un corpo bellissimo, pieno e ridondante che però tu hai perfettamente interpretato in questa foto senza che "eccedesse" su tutta la composizione. Peccato (non so come tu la pensi...) questi tatuaggi così amati dalle modelle. E questo di questa ragazza non è niente in confronto di quelle che ho fotografato io!!! Se vuoi dare un'occhiata alle mie foto con...tatuaggi, ti aspetto. Tra l'altro mi piacerebbe averti tra i miei preferiti PNfriends per una...bilaterale frequentazione assidua, apprezzo molto le tue foto! Ciao, Maurizio.

It is quite possible that some of the people on this site will rate a photograph based on the preference of what they like seeing. Personally speaking, any rating without a comment is just a meaningless number. I never rate an image without leaving comment. It is unfortunate that ratings are more common than comments. You can learn far more from a few words than a few ratings. 

As to this photograph. Yes! The lovely young lady does have an ample bosom. I can assure you, this had nothing to do with the reason I commented. The reason was simply to answer your question.

First of all, I would like to thank everybody that stopped here to share their thoughts. I see many photographers that I admired before I started taking pictures and you really don't know how flattered I am now :)

I tried to give this portrait some contrast between the model's physique, which has strong sexual connotation, and the light atmosphere and pastel colours. Sort of Mischief and Innocence.

Maurizio, credevo di seguirti già, ma evidentemente no. Sono onorato di farlo. Concordo con te sui tatuaggi, ma sembra un trend a cui non si possa sfuggire.

Maurizio, I thought I already had you in my followed list, but it seems it's not so. I'm honored to add you, of course. I agree with you about the tattoos, but it seems an unavoidable trend.

Again, thanks to you all, you really keep me going on in this hobby :)

Not to minimize the allure of the model, but it is your pastel like hues unifying the scene and your strong balanced composition that make this an excellent piece of art.  Congrats, Gabriele.

Sorry, I forgot one thing.

David: of course I know that your comments are of a qualified point of view, I was thinking of the people that just vote and pass by.
Really, when I wrote that I wasn't thinking about you, because I know that you evaluate a photo in a deep way  :)

Thank you Wayne for your kind words :)
