the whole picture is to be found in the "nude" section, but I do like this tight crop though...

Great shot here. The foot cocked to one side is a great detail in the pose.

Thank you. I always feel glad when there's a hook like that, something a little off or unexpected. In Camera Lucida, Roland Barthes called it the punctum, which is a Latin word for the wound made by an arrow, or the mark made by a pointed instrument. I wish it happened more often!

Re: the shot of the 2 kids - the person in the background is a bit distracting, I think it would be stronger without them.

Would it be ungracious of me to say that I prefer this shot to the full length one?

Very nice.
