So it's over. Some days it was so easy to sit down and crank out a picture, other days a monumental chore. I always felt very remiss when I couldn't stay awake long enough to view everyone's images--not only because I tried to learn something from each one, but also I felt like I hadn't stopped by to say hi to friends. And such friends. Many closer than 'real' acquaintences.
I appreciate all your humor, kindnesses, your helpful critiques, suggestions. I'm fortunate not to have been blasted like so many I've read about on the forums.

And I hope it doesn't start with this one. Another screwup that I was utterly taken with. Playing last night with a red gel, I really didn't get it, but Jill and I continued after I was blown away by the almost silhouettted images in the LCD. She was doing classical posing, dressed as she was for the other images, just going with the flow as is so often what we do.

I desaturated the image, and cloned out the distracting straps and lines and finally softened it, and came up with what I hope you'll consider an artful image. I was so struck with the lines of Jill's legs.

If this gets any nasty remarks or goes way beyond the average Jill hit count (which is a little higher than most posted ones, big surprise) it's gonna get either pulled or password protected.I won't tolerate any gutter language. Can't control the gutter minds, but I'm really hoping for something a little classier.
