This is one from only my second nude shoot. I decided to use only natural light. Not the most

original pose I know, but I thought it was nice. Feedback welcome. Thanks.

Good shot. But her right breasts? creases bother me. Perhaps a bit of PP would solve the problem. Otherwise well done!. Keep it up,

I agree, this would look much more attractive if the stretch marks were cloned out of the breast.

This is a great shot and IMHO stretch marks are not something to be edited out unless you're shooting for Playboy. I can't believe that a woman would be that superficial. Her body is perfect, just the way it is, look at the shape of her breasts, her belly, her beautiful arms and thighs, gorgeous thick hair and cute face. Let's show more real bodies & maybe we will have less women who have image problems...just a thought.

Thanks for the kind comments everyone. I made a decision not to do any post work apart from black and white conversion, because I wanted to show the real her. I think she is beautiful just the way she is, and definately has nothing that should be hidden behind photoshop.

I share Kellen's sentiments. Natural women are naturally beautiful, just the way they are. Changes to women's bodies as they mature are amazing and lovely. When I graduated college, two experiences transformed my perceptions of female beauty: I dated an older women (she was 36-years old), and I studied figure sculpture.

 

As for your photograph, I think it is wonderful. I especially love the model's face in profile with her delicate ear slightly exposed through her dark hair that softly frames her face. And I love her womanly figure, stretch marks included (I would love to sculpt her).

 

I believe the picture would be even better if she were not wearing that black-colored bikini bottom or that big medallion. In my opinion, both are ungraceful and distracting and neither adds anything to the photograph. She is beautiful in her own skin -- with nothing added or airbrushed out.

This is one of my favorite photos on this site so far. The girl is absolutly beautiful. The pose and the neckless makes perfect match and the tone matches the overexposed bokeh. Fantastic, 7 est. and 5 org from me!

I also want to agree with the decision not to remove the "creases". It is sad that with digital imaging and photoshop so many people on PN have lost any appreciation for REALITY. This is a beautiful girl. The stretch marks are part of who she is and her image does not need to be altered to accomodate some fantasy.

Agree with the above comments NO CLONING OR HEALING BRUSH. What a beautiful model. Lovely shot
