She is lovely, as is your depiction of her. She has a spectacularly good "figure".

At the risk of being indelicate, it appears that certain nether regions have been photoshopped as there is not there the expected level of, er, detail visible. Makes her look a bit like Barbie.

I like this shot John.

...ain't no surprise....

Not the most practical swimwear I've ever seen. Lovely model (at least her; can't tell about him.)

The lighting makes this image. Angular and strong, perfect exposure. Extremely attractive model doesn't detract either.... :)

Well done.

Les, I think I've reconciled myself to the eyes-plus-breasts version! :)

She is absolutely amazing. I think the dark shadow behind her and the dark head-swallowing band at the top are unexpected departures from your usual high level of craftsmanship though, John!

But never mind. I'll look at any version of her you wish to post!

Happy Holidays to you and to all who read this.

...because the Hassy shoots square, that's why! :)

Oleg, very well done. Simple is best as you've masterfully demonstrated.

Who says tabular emulsions aren't good for portraits?

Janine May WHAT on the floor? :)

Seriously, gorgeous model. My monitor's calibrated, but she appears boiled red to me.

Jim, you've captured this fellow's personality in this shot. Nice use of available (?) lighting--at least I can't be sure if you used flash.

Your feedback welcome on my work as well.

A new twist on the New Soviet Woman!

Very erotic, beautiful craftsmanship and technique, as usual.

the only things nude in this photo are the masts.

Try "cars and vehicles" or "landscapes" or what have you.

You could plant her face-down on a copy machine and get a delicious image--but you've done more than that.

Works well as a casual environmental portrait of a fabulously attractive woman.

Mission, since you don't seem ever to find any value in the criticism offered here, why bother posting your work with "feedback always welcome" when it so clearly isn't? "Adulation only" seems more your motto. No one on photo.net is good enough to comment on your work it seems, yet you keep coming back for more. Odd.

That said, I like this image despite the (intentional or not) blown shoulder highlight. The model is stunning and the shot is well done.

JR, I read your bio and viewed your portfolio here. There, you go on at length about "hate raters" and the various other ills of photo.net, but your childish responses to my postings here are emblematic of the problems you decry. Perhaps the brittle shell of your self esteem is a bit too fragile for the knocks of this world.

You posted a work, presumably for commentary, and when a viewer didn't reward you with the fawning praise you seem to expect as your birthright, you got snarly and aggressive. Had I merely, without comment, given you a 1/1 or some other "hate rating" then I suppose we'd all have been treated to a diatribe about that.

In JR's world, is it possible that someone might not like a work that happens to be sexually-themed, not because he is a prude or a right winger, but because the work in question just isn't very interesting or well-executed? How convenient, when you receive a low rating or less than a glowing review, to be able to dismiss your reviewer as a hater or philistine!

My comments didn't cost either of us a thing, so you're free to dismiss them as you please, never mind your hypocrisy. Get over yourself, man; like most people here, myself included, you aren't the second incarnation of [insert great photographer's name here].

I wish I were that flexible!

Shmil, you and I both need to get out more....

All I can say, again, is WOW! Awesome legs, great composition and tones especially the interplay between her legs and the dark, creamy sofa.

Well done John.
