In the desert

I'm a little backlogged; this photo was taken almost 21 years ago.

Really nice composition, nice girl (her body) ... Almost 21 years ago??? Oh my gosh this is really great photo...

i think the cropping is a bit odd. Show more butt... less of the left side. Otherwise I find it very aestetic.

she's going to get terribly burnt ;-) like the comp and tones although i think i would have preferred just a bit more separation btw. her and the plant life.

Godness what a great shot.

21 years ago? damn that's awesome.

do you know where she is now? how she is doing? i often wonder how weird it would be to look back at portraits I shoot now, 20 years from now. I doubt i'll know what happened to most of those people, even though they are my friends today.

Actually, Roy, I can tell you she's doing fine (I'm still married to her!).

sweet! :)

but you know what I was saying...

And Barry shows those wouldbe nude photographers, YET another way to find a great model. Now that IS great technique.....

And afterwards she fixed dinner. What more could a photographer want?

Barry is fast becoming my hero. The multi-talented is so difficult to find these days.

Beautiful evocative scene - reminds me of one of mine taken even earlier (1985) - there is something special in the character of personal records (the model is also my wife). ... Jonathan

Superb, I love it. What a beautiful perspective. I sometimes wish I hadn't sworn fidelity to my Nikon. There is something about a canon shot that I always recognize before searching for the technical details.

This is simply great, so beautiful.

Lovely Image... Great foreground framing... grin... Cheers, Raymond

Hey Barry, I keep coming back to this image... I love it! Raymond

And your comments keep bringing me back to it! It's a win-win!

 

 

Back again... it always brings a smile...

One of my long-time favorites - it would be great to have this in the "Nudes from real life" group on Flickr (along with "Barbara on the rocks" and "Backstroke, Clark Dry Lake").

 

Best wishes, Jonathan

Excellent idea. I'll have to dig up my files on this and the others and send them over.
