Hi CarbonTerry,

Interesting shot.

I would suggest posting that it is a semi nude shot in your posting heading as some people may get offended by some posts. Not that this is offensive, to me anyway, but there are lots of different people that visit these boards and would assume like me that they might have children around, like I just did. Just advice, not critisism.

I think the lighting and exposure is fine here. In this case, I'm not sure that l like the colored ribbon on the b&w body and bg. I think I'd like to see flesh tone here. To tell you the truth, I'm not sure what it is but I'm not feeling this image is working well somehow. I keep looking at it over and over, and yet I feel that I should like it, but just is not working for me. But wait. . .when i look at this image sideways, so that it takes on a vertical format, i find it works and seems much more effective to me. I'd like to see this asa a vertical shot. Just my take on it. I was hoping to be more helpful, but those are my feeling on it. Looking forward to viewing more of your work

CarbonTerry,
Just thought i would add that the more i come back to this to view, the more I find i like it. The vertical would not work so well i think because gravity is naturally forming her body in a certain way and would not fit the image vertically, perhaps. But I do find myself liking this image more and more.

Yes, anytime you have a photograph posted that contains some nudity, please state that in the title header.
A lot of people look read posts from work or don't care for nudity whatsoever.
Thanks,
Brian

I like this very much and the red tape ensures that any chance of cliche is eliminated.
To be honest I am still trying to work out what part of the anatomy I am looking at.
Sometimes I think its the lower quarters and then I think it might be a shoulder. This of course is not a problem but makes it more interesting for me.

I will be more diligent when posting pix titles.
gahspidy: If you had to come back to view it then I will consider it to be interesting enough.
It doesn't show well OMC but there are some subdued skin tones.
