(Perhaps some will dislike the bedpost on the left side of the frame, but it's there on purpose. I like it, and it should be there.)

Hey.
I have very little background in traditional photography so I won't go all technical on you.
I find this print more approachable than most in your gallery. For me, in a good proportion of your work, your production and technical skill removes the nude from the terms of an honest encounter. The shots I enjoy most in your gallery (Holly's laugh, Anya, Another morning . . .) seem to bypass the artificial genre of the nude and engage with the subject on a more genuine level. These works, for me, possess more openess to the character of your subject and are more visually powerful because of it.
I do love this shot.

I loveeee this! It's so beautiful
And I agree, that the bedpost is lovely, I believe it builds a great frame.
The way she is positioned is so unusual but really adds to the photograph.
goood job !

This is an outstanding shot! What originally caught my eye was her freckles. They are so beautiful. Thank you for not photoshopping them out as so many do. Your depth of field is crazy! I really do like everything about it. I imagine the lighting must have been a real challenge with her body at all different angles, but you dealt well! Cheers!

Wow, you hit that one right!
I love to see pictures that involve more than form and composition, and this is one that does. I has a sense of fleeting time, a moment, shifting light. Outstanding.
Did you shoot this on film? A light green filter might have brought out the freckles more.
A great picture. The expression is wonderful - and don't worry about the bedpost!
Cheers, Paul.

Yes, 120 film. I have a yellow filter... but haven't been able to find it lately.
But thank you, your comments are very kind!

The bedpost makes it look more candid/voyeuristic.

Thank you! I was losing light quickly, and I feel I did not do as well as I should have (and Holly was giving me some beautiful poses), but this one was within the realm of being rescued by levels.

I love the expression on her face, I love the short depth of field, I love the way her body seems to be in two parts, like waves dying on the sand, like she is totally relaxed, tired, opened, climaxed, and I love your bedpost too, it helps entering in the picture.I love her freckled shoulder too. And nice lighting.
