Jody...agreed, nudes are a difficuly genre. You may have had more success that I have, as mine are in a unique class far beneath dismal failure.
Ed...your images of Anastasia; with the roses in her hair as well as the close up portrait are remarkabley skilled and exhibit an empyrean beauty of unparalleled insight.
I guess it's the idea of starting with a concept that seems backwards to me. I usually want to play in the light and composition with no idea of where I am going. I'd rather the art speak the concept to me instead of me forcing one onto it. I don't want to proscribe. I just thought I'd be a smart ass and throw out that comment.

Ed, have you ever considered putting out a book of your Collodion nude work? Just from what I've seen in this thread, you already have an impressive collection.
Fantastic like usual!

Stunningly beautiful. Wow this is good!
Are you familiar with the stories of Ray Bradbury? There was one where the tattoos came alive at night -- "The Illustrated Man". Boy does this picture ever evoke that memory!Quote:
