Grandmother`s sofa #15

Studio

I feel like I should be wearing rubber gloves and asking her if she could scoot forward a little. This is a bit TOO much.

beautiful wow

your model has a beautiful figure...but I think I would have liked her over to the side of the couch, or crop severly from the left and make it portrait oriented...

All this is saying is do me. Not art. Try again. Get some different backdrops to while your at it.

the world is hastily upset about "sexual" elements of a beautiful form - casted from nature and art? How artistic can we, when love is being made...? When "art" can be defined - then "art" is no longer....

One of the criteria that I like to look for is an expressiveness to a pose. Are we able to look at a personality inside a nude body? I think yes. Is it always necessary to conceal some element, be it figure, or limb, or hair, or "gender organ," or or or or ...? I think no. Is this pose overtly sexual? I don't think so. Is the photo overtly sexual? My own opinion is that it is not even though it is possible to hide very effectively behind one's nudity.

To try and go beyond what has been said, I think she would be much better if placed to the left of the couch...with her right leg then framing the left side and her left leg exploring the open space. Cheers

Outstanding composition and original posing!

Very strong and provocative, very aesthetical, very sexual and very, very, very artistic !!

Daniel,if you see this image and think about pure sex you have a problem and need some therapy. This image says so much more than "fuck me", sorry for you.

Igor, you are the best.

If a man looks at this and does not think sex, I would suggest he is the one that needs the thearpy. And If he does not admit it I would suggest that the only person he is fooling is himself. Sorry. Look through photo.net and you will find some real artistic nudes if you need some examples to go by.

so are we saying that sex cannot be art too?

 

i am amazed by some of the comments here.

 

i think this is a great shot.

I agree 100% with Daniel Benoit's comments. While this is a good shot from a technical point of view, it holds no mystery for me. Erotica is about what is implied...hinted at...not thrown in your face. Don't get me wrong, this chick is hot...very hot. In fact, I would say that she is the only reason anyone is even commenting on this photo. If this girl was a hundred lbs heavier you wouldn't even be here right now. Admit it.

Well, why some do not love sex... Or do not admit it? Or are afraid?

Igor, for what its worth - I like it very much for exactly what it is :-)

Stunning..... chris

 

very good shoot

excellent

. . . really evocative. Powerful. And most of all, beautiful. Your work is simply stunning.

 

I am new to photography at this level, and have read with interest the discussion it brings about. I would appreciate any guidance regarding my own efforts, which I have begun to post.

very feminine

What's wrong with sex ? Having problems with erotic images? Perhaps you should be in the bird photography section of the galleries. There are plenty of very "stimulating" high class birds and insects in the wining entries of P.net

Igor please, for shm*&!s like Daniel put a warning

notice for them not to enter your site for it is very unhealthy for them. As for the photo, its a cliche to say it is nice-it is GREAT. You are on the right track with aesthetics. Keep attaching sexuality to your shots like you do. Female body at its best, full of youth, eroticism and form. Stimulating, provocative, beautifull and enough "gunpowder" to unjade the most jaded.

P.S. Look who negatively criticizes your photos the most. Most are from developed, English speaking countries ! Surprised ? Since when they became the bearers of world morality ? They are more outspoken against sex then our grandmothers. That is just the tip of the iceberg with Bushism

and his mid American mentality to attack self expression.

Too much in your face. But then you already know that.

igor, emotional, very emotional. congrats

There is something to this photo... The girl has her legs open, showing off her sex, but her face is hidden and her elbows are "closed up" arround her face. It is subtle, but it makes me wonder what she is thinking ... I don't think she is thinking about sex at all...
