[natatbeach]

he needs no urging...especially when the subject is his body...geesh...you have no idea what you've started...

he's probably hanging upside down from the ceiling trying to get a shot

[walterick]

and Speed

I didn't figure out how to hang upside down but here's my next round of portraits - please - and I'm being serious now - tell me if I'm getting warm here.

Cuz you know I wouldn't mind going and shooting some more if I haven't gotten it right yet

All are of my back and arms, no butts boobs or reproductive organs ;) :

[villenadecorte]

NOW THATS WHAT IM TALKIN BOUT!

I appreciate that!

Last one of the night.

(I said, for today)

I took a butt shot too that's pretty effective but I'll save that for a "later" post

Here's my non-sexual self again:

[natatbeach]

THAT's what I'm talking about

That first one confuses me. Is that your back or arms? Or both? I thought it was your butt at first, but since you stated it wasn't.....

adina

[walterick]

talked about my nude body any more with complete strangers than I have in the last 3 days.

Does this constitute as cheating?

Adina the progression was back: arm: back: arm so the first one is my back.

I don't normally walk around with it flexed like that though

Thanks for looking! I'm gonna go take some humility pills now

I SEE IT!!

Once you said it was flexed, it finally clicked.

[Todd Patten]

I've got one but I need to determine from someone if it's too much. Who do I ask?

[Todd Patten]

WHOOPS. Removed image from post...

[opus]

maybe ask nat.

[Charles Hess]

Kelly, Nat, Villenadecorte, Adina ... great, great, brave shots you've done of yourselves! Self-pics are tough, nude self-pics are tougher, and producing a non-graphic, yet erotic self-pic, is the toughest yet, and you've all done well.
This one is on my glamour site...not b&w, heavily photoshopped, but still sexy(I think) without being graphic. Good, fun post, all. :-)

[villenadecorte]

Charles, I love this one. I've seen this on your site... one of my favorites!

that's the one I was talking about...I like the watercolory effect... even more subtle than the original...thanks for playing charles ;)

[Speed]

She wants more of our bodies!!

- grin -

I believe in the phrase: "Give the people what they want!"

[Speed]

It seems to me like everyone likes the girls' pictures better.



Wait, I kinda like it that way...

Yeah, they make it sound like we are constantly showing off our physiques!

Not that they are complaining about the view, just the frequency. :-O

I also agree with you 100% - I prefer the girl's pictures too!

[Speed]

Your results were much better!

adina

massively underexposed, cropped to make sure it fit the guidelines

Very nice indeed!

"cropped to make sure it fit the guidelines "

Did I miss something? Why wouldn't it fit the guidelines? It looks like you were covered.

[adina]

The original was a full body shot.

[natatbeach]

your shot was the discussion over dinner that and adina's and the fact my hubby thought it was well executed but he got a totally like cold feeling from it like he was intruding on a bad moment or something....as he described it ...it's like he was looking in on a girl who had just been thru a rough situation...it was the position and the starkness of the light.. He said he liked it but in a "bothered" type of way...interesting how that shot hits two different people...
;)

[villenadecorte]

Whose? Mine and Adina's? Or just Adinas?
If he thought mine evoked a cold feeling, that is what I got from it when I saw the shot with my face included.

yours..he couldn't explain it...he liked it and he like dth ecomposition and the crop but he got this "uncomfortable cold" feeling he said...I laughed at him an explained your post...he thought it had great details

[villenadecorte]

Awesome. I like that it evokes that!
Thanks!

[villenadecorte]

Does this further exemplify the uncomfortable cold feeling?
My original, contrast tweaked, cropped, desaturated, levels adj. and a lighting effect added.
( I already have shoddy lighting in the bathroom, so I had to work this one quite a bit.)
Wanted to originally use the door from the closet to create the peeped look, but wasn't working out well, trying to get that with the lighting effect added here (like a door had been cracked open)

Anyway, this was fun! Thanks Nat

[Speed]

And here are the results of that....

Since its supposed to be an abstract, I cropped and edited down, also desaturated.

VillenaDeCorte

I warned you!

Great shot! Thanks for sharing it. There's something about water...

OK, actually, there's something about a wet woman...

;-)
