Nude

This is technically beautiful. And compositionally provocative. I'm not sure why, but there is a hint of Picasso in the image. I think it is how her arm seems isolated from her body by her hair. It makes it look more of a profile than it is. This is an outstanding image!

Thanks, Brian. I see what you mean about the pose, it's really different. After living with the image for a few days, I like it even more for the reasons you mention.

Gelatin-silver photograph on Ilford MG IV VC RC, image size 24.6cm X 19.5cm, from a Tmax 400 8x10 negative exposed in a Tachihara 810HD triple extension field view camera fitted with a Fujinon-W 300mm f5.6 lens.
Witness the attractive power of the 8x10 camera. I've accidentally walked into someone else's shoot but the photographer and model both want to pose. Sure thing...stand there...click...thank you!

What a beautiful photograph. Classic ideas with a unique vision.

Thanks lutherasmith. Classic idea indeed. The model wanted to try a traditional odalisque pose and she did it beautifully.

This is awesome. Even though its not nude (does it really need to be?), the pose, the focus, the depth of field - top notch!

(off to check out some of your work on Flickr!)
