alter ego

Beautiful photo. Again, the highlights are starting to wash out and I like it. I am a beginner so please forgive my lack of knowledge but is this washout what you intended? It seems to be on the boarder of going high key and (IMO) has a nice effect. Regards, A.E.

The revised version has some wash out in highlighted areas. However, I don't think that they have much of a negative effect. I prefer the revised one. As David said, it has more life to it, and seems to make a better conection with the viewer. Regards, A.E.

I'm happy to return the laugh! :)

I do not think that holding the breast is needed and I certainly would not center it! Her hair is the focus of the photo, not her breast. As for the right hand, I would like to see it flat against her butt. That way there would be one continuous smooth line around her body that would not be interupted by her fingers. I'm not sure that it would be better or not, but that's the thought that came to mind. I'm a sucker for red hair, so I had to check your portfolio to see if there were any color shots of her. There it was! Same shot in color! I like seeing the hair color but I think the red carpet takes away from it. I also tend to lean twords B&W nudes so I liked her body better this way. So, why not have my cake and eat it too?! The attachment was just a quick job to show an example. Say the word and I'll be happy to remove it from here! Having said all of that, I think this is a great first nude! It is artistic, tasteful and says much more than "Here's a naked woman!". Have no fear at all of someone thinking this is pornography! Nice job, stay with it! P.S.: If you are tired of unexplained low ratings, take a look in my portfolio. It won't stop them, but it might be worth a chuckle! -A.E.

Interesting. I think it would have a stronger effect if there were a great distance between the hand and light.

It's always a shame to see washed up actors and actresses turning to softcore pornography to make a buck. Poor "Babe" !!! :)

Another fine addition to this folder!

I assume you mean photographic equipment! :) Nice photo. I like the way it bridges the gap between the photographer and the model.

The figure of the girl does have a mystic quality. I like the crop. I find the color of the sky odd. Not bad, just odd.

Nice Paul! Could be a hair lighter though. I didn't even see the lamb until viewed larger. It looks like we humans are not the only ones who enjoy a beautiful sunrise!

Outstanding work! You could put this in National Geographic.

Well I can't say that I've seen this shot before. Very interesting ants, you should shoot more of them.

Nice effect!
