    Love the silhouette, however think it would be better without the reed in the top left corner. Looking forward to seeing morethumb.gif
    C&C always welcomed.

    Cheers

    Nik, I love these just a tiny, tiny, teeny bit, I have to admit. This time not just for the technique.

    Even so, cmor is right - no clothes for #1 (it looks like she is wearing a diaper). And the hand is too posed, and the hair lifeless.

    #2 is superb down to the legs. They are atrocious. They look heavy and inert, and the lighting is haphazard and ugly. The shadow on the thigh R is a bit of visual trash. But there is real involvement of the model in the scene.

    That's what makes these more successful for me - the involvement of the model in the scene.

    Aloha,
    I really like your lighting on the second image, plus it looks like the model knows how to act in front of the lens………nice moves.
    The first image is a defiant WOW in my books but you really must remove the distracting reed in the left top corner. I like your work and these images are a 10/10. Keep it up.

    I'm hear for the pictures and I leave behind some humour... like a certain body function taboo.
    Smells like Canon, I mean roses!!rolleyes1.gif
    I'm glad my toilet humour amuses. It's the bicker war that cracks me up. I'm also glad no one is taking it seriously. That would be a mess... like Canonite photography!!! oohhhh. I'm sorry I had to, it was there.

    Seriously though. It looks like her hair was long and flowing sothat must mean there's windy pictures coming!!!! Yay!!clap.gif

    If she was naked, that is one unusual tattoo across her hips -- I'da sworn it was an actual bikini bottom. Anyway, both are very alluring shots especially right out of the camera.
