Wanda and the Charred Earth 08_07_07.jpg

Here is another image taken in the burnt forest left by the Salt Creek Fire. I pushed the camera white balance toward the blue end to give a night time feeling.

I wanted to capture and symbolize nature stripped bare. It is why we made the hour drive to take the photos.

Excellent work Bill and Wanda....There is nothing sexual about this. This is ART in every form.. Wanda you look so beautiful and Bill the capture and color is amazing. It is a great idea for nature in nature so to speak and the idea behind the photograph makes the photograph. SUPER..... James

Great idea, too bad it didnt work out yet.

It looks more like a shot during the fall time with moon-light, but then again its too bright.

What a great shot. I also like to photograph forest fires (but I don't have a beautiful model), drop by if you would like to see springtime in Georgia. It looks like the beast did a real job on cleaning the countryside. Would love to see you post more.

What a great concept for a shoot. I hope you filled a few cards worth while you were there.

After all of this time you finally show Wanda completely nude, and the picture is so artistically beautiful that I can't even bring myself to make a sexual comment about it. Damn Bill, you certainly know how to hurt a guy! About as far as I can go is to say as stunningly beautiful as this photo isWanda is even more stunning.

WOW!!! These (today and yesterday) are works of ART!!! You should do a whole collection of these and have a showing.

I walked pass my computer and thought I smelled smoke. Bill, do you stare at the bedroom ceiling at night thinking about what the next neckid Wanda photo will be? Amazing!!

Very surreal and artistic. Looks like a scene out of the LOTR movies! Love the freedom expressed here and the WB adjustment. You guys are so good for each other!! Keep up the great work!

One of your best Bill.The blue works so well and reminds me of the night time waterfall shot.Even without Wanda,it is an incredible shot.

What a strange image...looks like an old Sci-Fi movie, but with a prettier woman in distress. It sure has that "B" movie look to it. Wanda...you look like the last woman on earth.
