This I like VERY much. Sometimes I like a picture just because I appreciate that you saw it, and I know I would not have seen it. That challenges me to look over my world better than I am doing it now. Anyways, brilliant!

Could also be the security settings, i get the same [IMG][IMG] and no image on my work computer.
Try to relax the security settings a little.

I can see the image between the tags. I'm on Firefox 3.6.13 on Vista Home (x64).

I also tried it with IE 8, security level Medium, but still no go. And I'm logged in. Perhaps my ISP is blocking the pictures.ru site that the OP is using?

I sometimes also get only the tags, sometimes I get to see the images OK (and it's the same behavior on different computers with different browsers) - it seems the server that stores the images is either down or blocked at times.... And it's a pity, because I really like looking at those photos, they are great... :)

It took a few seconds for me before it started to download.

Ustas, very nice image, as your usual.

Btw, you don't need to type out the tags if you're clicking on the "insert image" icon to attach your pics. The software does that for you. You would need to type it out if you're inserting the image by just typing out the url in the body of your post. I can't see how that is causing any delay though.

Ustas, although I don't like considering nudes as fine-art (it always seemed a bourgeois cop-out to admit they like nudity), yours are very nice. Creamy tones too...

Very Nice, I like the tonal quality of the Servant. The apparent lighting looks to be a combination of filtered light from a balcony, perhaps? Within the limits of the forum viewing the subtle highlights on the lower calf as they merge with the high white value of the object in the background (not sure as to what it is). Is this an elaborate stage or was it taken in an actual apartment?
Interesting the application of the indifference given by the cast of each eyes or the focus of the eyes. The servant peers abstractly ahead (past) the one she renders service while the one served stares strait into the camera, almost coldly at best or with some accent of distaste. Ah, the other s say that this is more than just an apartment! I would have to say that to me this one is the best.

Ah, now this is beautiful & perplexing as well as simply beautiful.
At first, look I thought an available light shot in early morning or evening . . but the light ratio is very close? Studying the model's frontal view gives away the aspect of the ambient side-lighting (highlights) but the lack of shadow in front (note upper body shadow of hands with highlights on breast) of the lower portion of her body. Which tends to indicate some kind of fill light (reflector or umbrella) then the hot spot on the toes of the heels tend to collaborate it . . On the other hand, reflection on the floor at the model's feet & the slight shadow being cast at the base of the drapes' tend to refute a secondary light source beyond available light! Highlights & shadow tones from ear says a low angle of the sun early morning - evening . . rather cool in color tone (drapery?) compared to the warmer tones on her frontal view facing the camera. Chrome?
The of the prop of the cigarette (?) is an excellent ploy giving a focal point & reason for the placement of the left hand, very natural but the left arm, there seems to be obscured, the shadow (highlight) doesn't seem quite right? Ya, I know night-picking, a great shot!
