Robert - excellent!

I'm not typically a fan of color nudes, but this one is quite appealing. I love the softness and gentle curve of her shape. Good shot....

Robert - exquisite in every way - wonderful light, tonality and flow. I always look forward to seeing your work.

 

 

David - a fantastic shot, on so many levels. I love the tonality, texture and flow of this image. Really beautiful, both in subject and execution.

A wonderful and expressive study. the tones and textures are amazing. It does indeed have a very "statue" like appearance. Very nicely done.

Both 2 & 3 are fantastic works. Amazing textures, depth and tone.

 

Very nice work.

Beautiful tones and light; what a wonderful expression!

IR film put to really good use. Excellent shot!

I did the same thing once by grabbing my 3 stop ND grad, when I thought I had the one stop ND grad!

 

My images came out significantly darker than yours did, as I was shooting Velvia at ISO 40. I took two shots before I realized the error. Still, it made for an interesting image, just as your is.

You know, it's really funny. Our two cats utterly and completely ignore our tree and decorations. In the twelve years we've had them, not once have they shown any interest beyound a cursory sniff during the set-up.

 

I suppose we could count ourselves lucky!

I agree - foreground interest is a big "must have" in landscape shots. Overall, decent colors and composition. I like the shot and agree with Richard on the use of a split ND filter.

 

Did you tilt the horizon? Also, what lens were you shooting?

I agree the loop is distracting to the overall composition of the shot, but that's it. I think this is a great photograph. As always with your work, the lighting and contrasts are excellent!

This is a comment for all three - I like the sweatshirt nude and this one - especially in B&W. The other in the series doesn't do much for me, I think because of the angle of the shot. And ignore the individual who "types with one hand."

 

Even though the sweatshirt pose may have been "done to death," as someone pointed out to me regarding a project I'm developing - "maybe, but it hasn't been done by you!"

 

Good work; keep at it!

I normally don't find much appeal in color nudes, but I like the shot. Sexy and erotic, without being "cheesy" as some like to say!

 

For me, the only distraction is the way her right leg shadows the other.

I like the shot. I would say to crop out the two security lights.......

Personally, bondage is not my "cup o' tea." I had not planned to comment on the shot. But, it has grown on me.

 

I do like the feeling of theatre, something I do enjoy tremendously, that this shot imparts.

I like the pose too, and don't feel any tension or fear. She seems relaxed and secure. I think if she was standing straight and tall, it would be a different image entirely.

 

I'm not usually a big fan of color nude studies, but this one works well. Good work!

While I don't have the impression of a "hooker at work," I do feel a "voyeuristic emotion" coming from this shot.

 

The harsh lighting at the top of the frame is distracting to me, but it appears unavoidable. Overall, I like this image.

Personally, I don't care for the pose at all. The lighting and such is appealing to me, but the pose really detracts.

I like this shot. Her smile is wonderful and the pose is relaxed. Nice lighting too, soft contrasts.

For me, I wouldn't crop as the shot appears somewhat tilted. I think it would "distress" the shot to a degree. I like the contrasts too.

 

Another great shot!

I like the shot. The lighting is good too; good contrasts, I think.

I agree - some cropping would change the image significantly.

 

Great shot!

I find the brightest spot to the left distracting. The spot on the upper middle right is too, but not as much, at least for me. I like the exposure. All around good shot.
