    Hi Adam,

    I actually really like this pose and her lighting. I do not think of "bodyscapes" as a descriptive term for these shots, however, as that term tends to imply abstract geometry and the woman is quite in contact with us and knows that we're watching. However I love the wild look that your model has, as it fits the dramatic light very well.

    Nice. You probably already know this, but I will mention it anyway, in the 2nd shot, it seems that you are going for the impression that she is nude, but you let a little bit of her underwear show. If you (the photographer) would have shifted slightly to your right, that would have helped hide that sliver of white.

    You may could play around in photoshop and move the leg over it. Also maybe burning in some more in the crotch area to hide any of the underwear showing there, to create more of a shadow area, as to imply nudity. Its not always easy to get the shadows just right at capture.

    Nice series! thumb.gif
    A couple of notes on a side:
    1) image looks too soft, almost oof
    2) both images display way more negative space than they should've imho, especially #2.

    The first picture
    I find the first picture to be very impressive. I like the look she is conveying. Very sexy and seductive yet soft. I also like the use of sepia tones in the first.

    As far as the pose in the first, I like how her leg (knee) is reaching up to her face. Classic pose yet hard for many women to pull off without looking...shall we say... flabby! ne_nau.gif

    I love the pose of her arm in the second. It is a direct transition vertically to her legs posed horizontally. (Make sense?) It all comes together nicely! :ivar
