Description

In some ways these pictures really fit together well, in others they don't. For instance..the shirt in the first one..the lines don't match up as much. But its a similar angle to the second...and the second is a completely different angle than the third, but those lines DO match up. Highlights of the first tow and shadows of the second two...that kind of stuff.

It was interesting trying to pick 3 shots for this.




Feedback is quite welcome. I'm not sure if it came out exactly how I would have liked..a little overexposure of some highlights and that kind of stuff but. I don't know, wasn't sure about submitting it, but I suppose we'll see.



Enjoy.

I really loved the photos, they are sensual and since it's not really showing straight away what bodypart it is, it makes us look one more time, and then one more, and just a litle more just to be sure.
I do wish there were no writing to this photo, because it speaks for it self..
I know this sounds horrible, but in a way I don't care what the artist wants with it or think of it, because the reader will make up its own mind of it anywhere.
As long as the writing add to the image, or you are actually wondering about one spes thing about the image(technical or whatever)thats ok, but here I wish you only had the title and nothing else..
And what you have done in ps should be a secret if nobody asks
But thats my opinion

Art like poetry needs to leave space for those who experience it to add themselves to the mix. We as artists can only tell half a story. The viewer makes up their own half, that is if it is good art. With these abstract tonal pictures of skin, we can make up any story we wish. We are free to view it, to wonder, to tell ourselves we understand it. The lines do line up and don't, but the highlights and tones link other parts. Fascinating. Very well done, Ells

Yeah, I didn't really do the drawings. I just modeled for the shot. But the person who did them let me crop them and place the set just so. He's a pretty good artist.

This is beautiful.. when taken in pieces, each part is aesthetically pleasing, and highly able to involve both my curiosity and wonder. Taken as a whole, it is very calming... it reminds me of a desert landscape, almost. Sand dunes and valleys and such. This is truly a wonderful piece.

And as for the underweight thing? I know it all too well. Anyone looking for interesting, bone-cast shadows and a virtual roadmap of protruding veins and arteries need look NO further than me.

Addin you to devwatch.

i think your point and the shots are beautiful together. and i can see what you mean by overexposure and such. maybe you should retry taking the photos near a window maybe? and not so close for the third one, since it came out fairly blurry...i love it nonetheless...

Wow. I wasn't expecting this when I clicked on the thumbnail. I group my images only when I either can't decide or I want to show time and space....and it kind of bugs me when people single out images that put up in groups, photographs, I mean.

So I am gong to single out the one on the left. It's gorgeous. So sculptural and textural, the light plays along and THROUGH it like you are made of waxy marble. I mean you appear to be translucent.

Yet another reason why thumbnails hardly tell a story. I wasn't expecting to favorite this until I saw that image. I don't favorite much.

Why do you make a point to say your clothes were on? We are naked under our clothes....at no time during the execution of "cleanse" did I have my toes dipped in a saucer of milk.

damn, that's really nice opi and u have a bootiful body, heh. shhh, u shouldn't have told anyone about not being naked. the first pic from the thumbnail looks like a nude. but, aside from the nudity or non-nudity aspect of this, it's a nice, strong piece. the border and setup are wonderful. from the thumb, i thought it was a reclining body..look at it and tell me if u see it. i like the color, love me some desaturation and slight color overlay. pictures like this could easily be used as textures, heh. could ya send me a few high rez pics of close up skin? i might be able to use some texture like that. hmmm, u might wanna try blending the pics so they don't look like they have a straight border, that would be interesting. okie, i'll shup now. great photography +fav

ah... now you're following too that trend of puting many pics togheter in a frame... i dont know why, but i'm really not quite fond of that style.

good photos though. only that the angles and closeness of the shots gets my kinky mind to work... but, i guess you dont want to hear that
