I like how you think Raymond - maybe the next project, working with a skull that is. 

Joe, it's been too long! 

Thanks to all of you much for taking the time to comment.  Happy shooting!

Niki and Hen Ry,

Thanks for taking the time to comment; I appreciate your compliments.  Positive feedback is a good thing!  I especially like this fabric (it's a tulle fabric that is permanently crumpled when you buy it)  - adds great texture to the image.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for taking the time to comment!  I appreciate your insight too. We were shooting in a tough environment as far as moving around goes. 

I thought about cloning in some of the rocks to fill in the space, but decided not to.  Your point is a valid one - it does draw the eye to the top.  I did add some blue to the sky which was totally white in the original raw image.

This picture manages to communicate a tender moment; it's a lovely and gentle photo.  Congrats on the pose and lovely natural lighting.  Everything fits together well.

I think the tones are lovely.  The soft tones in the walls and nude's skin are broken by the richer browns in the bench, bringing attention to the main subject.  A lovely classic nude.

Wonderful image; the pose and expression of model make this image especially appealing to me.

A simple, striking photograph. It's lovely to look at.  Very harmonious and complementary tones throughout the image.  Very smart to show just the hint of her mouth above her arm.

Thanks to each of you for taking the time to say positive things about my work.  Some days, your kind words are the best thing that happens in my day. Photo.net is such vast talent pool, I'm happy when someone notices my little fish swimming in that big pond.  Thanks again.

I love this image; can imagine myself there in the soft light with a gentle breeze brushing my face. 

Ah dancers - they can create such beautiful art whether dancing or posing.

Great job Jim.

Shot in my new studio with one of my favorite nodels.

Enjoy - comments are welcome.

A lovely, tender portrayal of 2 beautiful women.  You've set the scene perfectly.

I just came across this image while  browsing collage/nudes.  I like it very much Jerry!  And...you could have so many derivative images, complete in themselves from the overall composition.

Bravo Pierre!  My eyes are very happy today!

Raymond, I absolutely agree with your comment about her right arm.  It's one of those "wish I could do over" images.  Sometimes, I get caught up in the moment and do not pay enough attention to those all important details.  On this trip, I managed to fall in the water too.  Fortunately, the water was shallow and I managed to keep my gear dry.  A very good day all in all.

Thanks for taking the time to make a thoughtful comment.
