 I like it!

Several elements combine to make this photos attractive, the direct eye contact, the fluidity of the composition and the impression of movement conveyed by the drape. An excellent image, bravo.

@John- You know I am a huge fan of your methodology when it comes to the female nude. I would love to pursue a freer and looser approach to this subject matter but feel totally constrained by my commercial restrictions (perfect framing, color, sharpness, and immediate brand recognition) to get such a loose approach to image making as you have done. I have struggled over the past few years trying to undo this very commercial approach and every so often I see a glimmer of hope. Where it first came to my attention for my so-called "gridlock" was with my Contemplative Photography (approach created by a Buddhist monk) and I noticed how difficult it was to break my prior approach to seeing an image in my mind for commercial rendering and just finding the image first without over-thinking it. I feel like my better images are almost instantaneous before I have had a chance to think about it. Again, I value your perspective, approach, and input. Grateful over these many years for your comments and critique. Many thanks, Phil.

I guess I am a sucker for black and white and contrast. You have great skill and picked some very lovely and talented models. Great work.

Thanks Robert for all your selections. I truly appreciate the feedback too. This is one of my very first nude sessions in 2008 I believe and it has just snowballed since then. I am truly amazed and sometimes astounded by the female of the species. Usually it's a positive response anyways.
