Beautiful image. Great black and white.

Thank you Alon...Antoine...Pierre and PhotoGuy. I really appreciate your time and thoughts. I would consider "original" an extremely high compliment from you Pierre.

It would be hard to find a fan greater than me of you art...but I can only be honest with my opinion...Although the wrinkles on the sheets create a nice texture...the focus... to me is the shoes and what is attached to them...That's why I feel a square crop would add to what looks like a fabulous ending...keep up the good work! juan

Thank you Juan. I agree that the square crop works well with the shot. For some reason...I liked the space and somewhat defined environment of the 5x7 format. I will probably post a few more of these and maybe play with crop options.

Es curioso, la vista me lleva a los plieges que causa la rodilla sobre la sabana.

Un saludo.

I think you've handled the figure really well. The lighting, the pose, etc. It's your own personal twist on the heels and garters cliche. I am quite conscious of the sheet. To me, it puts a certain stamp on the photo that view with its classicism. And if you wanted it not to have that classic boudoir feel, a whole different kind of background would be in order. I agree with Juan that the framing as is seems to be taking energy away from the photo. I tried a few different more blatant crops and they worked to overcome the sheet issue and made a little stronger statement. One that I liked was cropping only from the top, cropping into her body somewhere shy of the top of the black thong. Closer to the thong and further away provides different feelings for me and that would be a personal choice. I happen to like it cropped right to the top of the thong, so the bit of her back still showing actually forms a triangle. Having the body recede off the corner of the frame seems to enhance the diagonal and create an interesting dynamic.

Thank you Fred. I would like to see some of the crops. Based on your image and creative cropping (assisted or otherwise)...you know the one. It behooves me to pay attention to your alternative crops. Directed to both you and Juan...I simply would never have thought to crop this image.

Thanks for your vote of confidence. I'm curious. Have you already cropped from a bigger image, or is this what you shot? If there's more to work with, I'd be curious to see the full frame.

There was just a wee bit more sheet on the bottom end (no pun intended).

Gentle eroticism and style! Very well photographed! I like the textures in the sheet as noted above in others comments! Well done Tiff! Regards, Doug.

I see you have other takes on this theme and think you're doing fine, experimenting with different perspectives and framing. Given what both Juan and I have said, I feel much better with you taking it from here croppingwise if you even want to. I honestly don't think it's crucial in this case. And I'd rather let you keep in mind the possibilities as you see them rather than get in your way here. Honestly, if I felt I had a great take for you, I'd let you know, but I don't think another crop in this case will be as meaningful as it was, for instance, in my case. In my case, I had a lot of info and stuff in the original frame that could be expended. It really was a pretty drastic crop from a much wider shot to begin with. You have zeroed in already much more here. You don't have a lot of wiggle room, which I did. Actually, the one you've posted which is now the middle one of the three on your home page pretty much accomplishes what I had in mind, with the body going out of the frame in the corner. I actually think these three are quite effective as a series and would consider presenting them that way, all in one frame.
