David - Nicely done. You have captured true female beauty here. Bravo.

John- Wonderful work (as usual) by both of you. You always seem to manage to perfectly compose your work and your models always seem to bring beauty, grace and elegance. The video is a very nice touch as it gives a tantalizing glimpse into your work. Happy New Year!

You hit this out of the park. Lovely light and skin tones. The model will look back on this in 50 years and be very proud of your work together. Keep up the great work.

Wonderfully lit and captured. It has an intimacy that goes well beyond its simplicity. Bravo.

Such a nice shot. You have blended the action of the water in your composition. Truly a complimentary nude. The model should be pleased with this. You are doing great things in the rest of your portfolio as well. Good luck.

Yes, quite lovely. It has that quality of being natural and unposed. The tones and shadows are very pleasing. A beautiful portrait.

John as usual, you manage to connect with your model to achieve a sensuality in the simplest of settings. The model is not only beautiful, but has a sense of her body and how to achieve the most elegant of poses. The touching of her hair and the relaxed look of her face really finishes well.

Merry Christmas!

John - Lovely as usual. The colors, pose and composition are, as usual, perfect. She is elegant, beautiful and comfortable in her skin. Inspiring once again.

Beautifully done. It definitely caught my eye. I love when the poses don't seem self conscious just like this. The tilt of her head and the position of her heads create elegance. Although I think the foreground plants help this image, I think the two most prominent blades do distract a bit. Lovely overall though.

This caught my eye for sure. Love the motion and apparent emotion. The one thing that I would be critical of is that the skin looks a little flat and on the verge of being blown out. This might be improved by using the yellow or red slider in your BW conversion, but you know that.

@Starvy - Thanks for the kind words. I was going to make it a portrait that the model could use for a wider audience.

Lovely pose, tones and textures. Lighting is spot on. The lighter background that highlights her head is a very nice detail. The model will surely cherish this when she is 80! Bravo.

Obviously manipulated. Intention is give a more dramatic lighting feel

to the image and an enhancement to the disheveled look I was going

for. Your comments on my success or failure are welcome.

Beautifully done, and can't do this myself. The only thing that I think that shows that it is not real is the sharpness of the boat. Given the DOF blur of the dock, the boat should be somewhat blurred. Nice skills.

Lovely effect. This is a very striking image and find myself mesmerized by her skin and her shock of beautiful red hair. The head is turned just perfectly and elegantly. Bravo.

Obviously nicely done. Perfect use of light and pose. A classic study of the female form. Bravo.

@Michael - Thanks and she is a very sweet woman as well. A pleasure to work with.

I think this image would just lovely as a straight BW conversion. The model is beautiful and connected to the camera, the tones are spot on, and her face is tack sharp. I find the color distracting. I would love to see the material in BW to see if the texture adds to this image. Love your work.

Hand held! Taken through a window in the Natural History Museum . Not

my normal subject, so just trying to grasp techniques.

It has been done many times, but a first for me. Not my normal

subject, but it turned out better than I imagined it would. The light

was perfect this day.

Another in a series. The tight crop is on purpose, with the intent of

increasing the intimacy.

Lovely pose and model. The one thing that jumps out at me is that her skin seems a bit washed out or over exposed. From looking at her lips, it seems that maybe you took too much red out in the BW conversion. Beautiful eye contact.

You have an outstanding portfolio. This is by far my favorite of this model. She is graceful and elegant and it really shows here. Beautifully done.
