I guess I will just have to direct all of you to the image by giving you the address instead. I am just terrible with the html stuff.

You can view my image on: http://www.thephotosite.com/display.asp?ID=143358

There you go. That was much easier.

I am posting this as an image for critique and general discussion. Artistic nude is an important portion of my photographic work/interest. I specialize in dance photography; so, I have learnt to be especially sensitive to the human form, its motions, and the way light plays on it. I like this particular photo because it conveys exactly what I had set out to achieve: play of light on form.

Oh Yeah...she is NAKED!!!

Hey David, thanks for the contribution. I realize your photo is art, and barely nude (and I like it, too); but I chose to move it from "Art" where you put it, to ""Adult (nudity)" for the time being, so the category comes up in the archived threads...but it is "Art", don't worry...

No problem, Shawn. Afterall, she is over 18 and naked...exactly what the catergory says.

David, nice light... a good idea... but the composition doesn't give me enough orientation to tell where (even) her toes are... maybe it's my monitor compared to yours. At any rate, all I can say is it seems a little too nebulous..."too subtle" is a rare criticism for figure study, congratulations (a very small, friendly joke)... t
