Howdy Bill and Wanda. As always still another beautiful job of professional photography. What great idea's. I'm on my 20 hr flight back to Afghanistan. Had a few days home healing my wounds and getting my second wind… Have a busy schedule ahead of me... Glad you enjoyed your gift. Will write soon...

A question for Wanda. I have noticed a couple of times now that you have mentioned/suggested Bill maybe having to find a more cooperative model for his future shoots? So, my question is, if this was to be the case (Heaven help us if it was), and Bill was to find another model like you (impossible!), how would you feel, sitting here like us, viewing shots like the absolutely wonderful one below featuring an outstandingly beautiful and naked model, if that model was someone other than you (there is no-one who could replace you), taken by Bill? Wanda, tell us it's impossible, please?

Simply perfect execution of your idea! Can't wait for inspiration to strike again.

Simply breathtaking. And Wanda, Bill knows that he has the perfect model in you. There is absolutely no reason for him to consider anyone else.

Hi, Bill and Wanda. Great new set in the Mother Nature series. I'm hoping before we all go to the Great Beyond that we will see the private shots of Wanda in some manner. Heck, I'd even join a pay site to see them, and I never belong to such. Seems like all of her natural grace and beauty shouldn't be hidden, but shared with those that can appreciate it. Here's one that appreciates her. Best wishes!

My "Make a Wish" is that one day there will be an "Out takes" folder.

Great concept...nicely executed. Bravo.

awesome idea and photo--I've been following wandas pix for quite a while and never get tired of the work you do together:)

Jack,

the flowers in My hair was Bill's idea of course! HE is the artist, not Me. . . . I am just the reluctant participant. Someday Bill needs to find a model who is more cooperative so that his shoots will be easier for him.

Bill and Wanda,

I like this version much better. The wide brush seemed to heavy-handed. The pallet and positioning of the brush is perfect.

Wanda, I like the tied back hair with the flower. You idea or Mr Bill's?

The world is blessed, having Mother Nature, and Father Nature, sharing your talents, and passions, with each and every one of us. It is obvious that you are passionate about each other, as well as your creativity, and that's why we are blessed that you are prepared to share it all with us, so regularly. Great job! Thanks for sharing! Don't stop! The world is waiting, patiently ........

Dear Bates
I´m not an expert, but this is a marvelous picture!
I guess you could try to cut the top of the picture, where we can see the sky through the trees. I think that without the sky the background seems more like a painting (I´ve notice that by rollin the page with the mouse).
Best Luck and more pictures.

Out standing! I saw some of your other "Mother Nature" shots but this one is by and far the best of them.
Guest 26-Jul-2009 22:26
Clever using the pallet too
