figure study in b&w -- part ii Untitled

I like all three of the last posts, very elegantly done, bravo. The only question that I would allow myself is if the image is better with some parts left out of focus. It does tend to draw attention to the sharply focused areas which is good of course, but then the eye can linger unecessarily also on the other parts. Thank you for these interesting photos.

...do I correctly understand the question you've posed: that greater depth of field might 'guide' viewers' eyes better than sellective focusing and a rather shallow DoF? Would you go as far as to suggest trying to capture the entire bodyscape in sharp focus?

 

I'll certainly experiment along these lines. Thank you for your input!

In your opinion, could this pass for a fine art nude?
