I have been a bit lax regarding posting and commenting of late. I'm afraid today will be no different. I shall have to play catch up over easter!
Here are some nude shots photographed in the studio against the scoop (and hence very white). Let me know what you think.
I welcome all constructive comments, compliments and criticisms. I am here to learn. the fastest way for me to learn is for you to be really unforgiving and articulate in your criticism =D)
If you don't have time to comment don't forget to give a star rating as you pass through!

I'm torn; part of me wishes the skin tone was even more washed out so it would sort of blend in with the background more and the eyes really stood out, and part of me wants a bit more skin tone so the body stood out just a bit more. Which means it's fine as it is.

@Doug: Ha ha! Thanks. I did actually experiment with both of those variations before settling on this one. This one and ste 'straight' original really work for me.
Gorgeous portrait. The lighting is wonderful...I especially love the light on her hair. Love the softness of this. The eyes are gorgeous. Great processing on the skin tones. Great work!

@Melissa: Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou =D) To be honest, the light on the hair annoys me; it detracts from the models eyes.
Excellent work, well done!

Oh damn. Very nice. I knew there was a really good reason to be interested in photography.

@Twelvebit: Ha ha! Yes, the best reason of course =D)
A marvelous shot. The skin and eye processing are fantastic.

I really like the lighting on this... makes her eyes even more incredible. Very good work!

@pLusOne: Thanks!
Brilliant shot!Excellent work!Beautifully captured!I preferred the angle that put her foots in the left of the frame,Though it`s still outstanding!

@Shahab: Yes, I see where you are going with that angle, but due to the poor quality props I was using that would have left me with an awful lot of photoshopping to do!
Excellent work!

@akarui: Thanks! I'm glad you like it.
I generally don't prefer photos with obvious post processing- but this works very well here.

@Jarrard: Thanks, I know what you mean. Actually the natural shot is my favourite but I consider this blog more of a forum for experimentation =D)
