Oops... nothing sexual meant by the chest thing... *blush* ~lydia

Traveller said, "and what I really wanted was her stomach...."

Yeah... don't we all...? *heavy sigh* ;)

I like this one, but I liked the closeup chest one better. JMHO. ~Lydia

Yes, Victor, that line on her forearm bothered me also....no mirror nearby, maybe a tan line, maybe my thumb cutting off the flash?....lol Best Wishes, Traveller

Now that you describe it that way, I guess I did see it. And I think I agree with your assessment of it. By the way, I meant to ask something. Do you know what the line is on her arm? It's about two bracelet's widths behind her bracelet. It looks a bit like a tan line, but I can't imagine a tan line like that. It also looks like it could be a reflection shining on her arm. Was there a nearby mirror? -- Victor

Yes, there was an image of her stomach with the "V" of the beading...but it was so rich in texture, I think it fell apart. I'm just having fun now. the entire background had to be removed, to me a tedious process, but it printed well at 8x10. I will study this issue more. Traveller

Traveller, You seem to have erased something with black. Perhaps if you feathered the edges a big, it would be less noticeable. Regarding the picture, below, how is it different from the current picture? The framing seems identical. Did I miss a previous version? -- Victor

I Like the way her hip movements have made the beads horizontal to the frame, but I have trouble forgiving myself for not having her whole hand in the image. But then, these were quick shots and what I really wanted was her stomach....maybe a failure of the lens to carry detail...but maybe it was just the conditions shot under.

Still, I seem to have caught the joy here, and in several other images, and that was the real goal.

Best Wishes, Traveller

Sorry Traveller I think I prefer the picture below ;-) Maybe I should stop being lecherous it could get me into a spot of bother :-)

:-) Thanks, Traveller. Yep, I think your post is definitely the better one! :-) Regards jnconradie

Context for Nico, but I still prefer the ambiguity, (I think...maybe)

Lovely colour, Traveller. I would actually have loved to see a bit more of the context, but of course accept that the final crop / composition decision is yours. Regards jnconradie
