for the comments on this image.

For the record, the image was shot on my Nikon coolpix 775 digital camera at full rez (1600x1200) and then brought into photoshop where it was slightly cropped, auto contrast, auto level and an unsharp mask of 500%, 0.2, 0 on it and resized for the web. Other then that, what u see is what you get. Many have asked if I shot the background and the model then merged them in the photoshop, but its just not the case.

this picture has receive ratings from 2/2 to an 8/8, 9/6. no one has

left comments as to why though. i am a little confused as to how

someone could give it such a low rating, and another could give it

such a high rating. please leave a rating and comment as to why you

left the rating you did so that i can better understand what the

viewer is seeing in this.

i plan to reshoot this hopefuly soon with differant ligting to make

her skin slightly more golden as well as showing more of her neck and

lower back.

thank you

I usually do not shoot abstract art, mainly focus on electronic music

events, and female nude, semi nude and bondage/fetish style

photography. While out at a local diner with some friends one night,

I had my Nikon digital camera with me for fun, and towards the end of

the night started taking pictures of random things to fill up the

rest of the memory card before I got home. Once the pictures were

uploaded, I was amazed by this image, and have just recently had it

blown and printed to 11x14. I am still unsure why this picture

intrigues me, and that is why i seek the comments of others.
