Untitled

I think you have to decide what you want to accomplish. If you are going for abstraction at the level that it becomes almost impossible to tell exactly what the view is, then the other image is a better abstract. This image is somewhat less abstract in that it is easier to see what all the body parts are. I agree with the comment on the other image that it would have been better to have something in sharp focus. I have done some body abstracts with very shallow depth-of-field but tried to have something sharp.

The lighting is well done. The folder has many wonderful images. Keep going on this.

Cheers Mark!

The lack of critical focus wasn't intentional: I'd like to have the nipple in both images tack-sharp too! :) I have now applied some sharpening -- which I've failed to do before -- so please let me know if the 'remastered' version is more acceptable.

Personally, I generally seem to prefer more abstract looks, but was still curious what other photo.netters reckon.
