    Dude. That's so wrong.
    I'm sure it was all in jest but seriuosly. Don't be so inappropriate with me, please. There are plenty of models willing to be nude for your googling eyes.

    I was made up like the joker in a tux because I don't have a purple suit. I didn't have the proper make up and I'll have to get some grease paint and try again.

    Wouldn't you be surprised if I said yes and I shaved my head.

    Back for another look and my pleasure from the set has increased.

    The model was responding to you, you can see it in every shot. There's positive coming out towards you in all her faces. I enjoy this most!

    Almost the whole set (#7 is the exception, and I think it is equal as a loner to the combined force of all the others! A fine study with just a little crop imbalance flaw L/R, and top, maybe - anwmn1 also feels so. But the PP is classy! The most perfect luminosity of the skin set against rich contrasty monotone tones! iloveyou.gif) is characterised by a your lighting and color theme.

    It's that theme that I buy - the placement of islands of clear, saturated color in a pastel scape - eyes, mouth, hair, and in #4 & 6 the ducco of the BMW, if you had allowed it a little more.

    I like the suggestion of boob in #1, evokes sympathy in me (and I refer you to D H Lawrence for the connection he makes between sympathy and other things). But I don't like the way the halter hangs forward against the direction of her neck and arm.

    I love the frank, relaxed femininity of #2. It's intimate in a chummy way, no threat or expectation. And I like armpits anyway!

    Too much is lost from the bottom of #4. Crossing her hands might have been nice. This is the most risky of the shots and it is also the most flattering to the model - her figure and her face. The laughing face is so genuine and beautiful! DOF is just half a hair too narrow, and I've mentioned more needed from the ducco.

    I think there is too much determination in the posing of the legs and feet in #6, though the gaze here is among the most striking.

    There is something freakish in #8, freakish good and just freakish. The eyes are mesmerising. I am expecting something out of Lucas Works to appear. I might have suggested her hand draw her hair partly across the BMW logo. Would have dressed the veins you are worrying about. I think she needs to lippy her bottom lip a little more narrowly to balance the upper. It can look a bit slobbery.

    I repeat iloveyou.giflustiloveyou.gif with an extra iloveyou.gif

    Thanks Neil, I had a long quoted perfectly comment for this and dgrin ate it.
    Stupid work computer.

    I'm glad people felt a comfortable friendliness between Kari and I. Makes me happy.

    I had a theme? rolleyes1.gif I have to work on cropping and thanks for the PP compliment. I tried went more overboard with her pics than I usually do. I wanted popping colours. Glad to see I didn't mess up tooo bad. :D
    The desat didn't get to you??

    Am I to refer to a specific DH Lawrence work or is there an essay somewhere about sympathy, etc.? I like number one because she's putting a lot of force and thought into her position. She's more or less sliding off the car.

    I don't like armpits, but it was a hot day and she looks summer/spring in yellow, fresh and flirty...etc.

    I had to cut Lance out of #4 that's why the crop is so extreme. I don't remember what was so funny but I agree she looks great. When she relaxes she's all the model she needs to be.

    I try to get her to lift her head and strighten her back, I let her pose herself on these. there's a nice one of her laughing and giving me the death stare in the gallery on my smugmug.

    I'll keep the lip thing in mind next I work with her. To me, #8 looks like a beautiful corpse laying on the classic BMW that hit her. We were going for product placement and product ad kinds of photos. I made some lipstick ones too. I can see the Star Warws freakiness in there.

    Thanks for the C+C Neil, who knew you could like a set with a clothed model!!! mwink.gif -- I'll give Kari your pointers and throwing some iloveyou.gif right back at you!

    When I was doing a beautiful dead girl set, someone suggested I clone out the catch lights in the eyes. It makes it look like there is life in there. Go ahead and try it out and let me know how it works out for you.

    I wasn't going for dead... that's just what it ended up looking like for me. We were trying for car advertisment. Whenever I learn to do the cloning I'll give it try. I'm sure at some point I'll want to do a corpse shoot!
