Hi Friends, Thanks for the comments. I was away for the week-end and had no computer, phone etc!! It was really a nice break. Yvonne

Excellent photo! The softness and colors are a wonderful combination and give a nice dreamy feel to it. Really a fresh, clean feeling, just like stepping out of the shower. You captured the moment beautifully! ~ Lonnit

Wait until I see your XT shots Mary Anne:-)

See, Yvonne, I told you that cropping off the bottom would drive Rod crazy. Have you ever seen him wax so poetic over a photo??? BTW I like this version better.

Thanks everyone for the lovely comments and feedback. This is yet again one of those "accidental" shots. It seems I do my best with those LOL. My planning never seems to work as well. (so if I happen by your wedding, sure I will snap some shots, but whatever you do; don't schedule me to do it...they will all stink) This camera does allow me to shoot where I have tried to before (ie bathroom) and failed. It was the steam on the mirror that caught my eye. Yvonne

Yvonne, this is fabulous.
apart from all other interpretation (i certainly agree btw)...because of the wedding ring (the only 'subject' portrayed completely and perfectly in the photograph) right in front of the viewers...this intelligently teasing sensuous photograph says to the viewer that,
'You can see it, but cant have it' :)

Jano, wot's cleavage?
This is a work of art Yvonne, the soft muted colours blending & mutating throughout the shot, the sensual opaqueness on the lower torso is just magnificent. The erotic nature of the opaqueness shrouding the curvaceous lines opens up as our eye’s travel up the female form coming into focus on the female brow. The eyes are left to our imagination heightening the mystery of this fem fatal. The pert nose & cute lips are also kept from our gaze driving the masculine viewer into a frenzy of admiration. The piece d' resistance of this most excellent work is the woman’s bulgy things.................................I think:-)

Nice photo Yvonne! I noted the first and like this version much better :P The cleavage is well shown here and soft muted colors only add to the steaminess. Have to love the title as well. Well done. jano

Added the crop Mary Anne, thanks for the feedback...Yvonne

Good colors and a wonderful steamy look. If you really want to drive Rod crazy, crop off the bit of clothing/covering at the bottom...that way, everything is left to the imagination. I had to laugh at your obsession comment...nice to know that I'm not the only one.

Steamy stuff indeed. Rod's going to have to watch his blood pressure when he sees this.
