    I suspect the softness that made you ask that question is front tilt kicking the plane of focus over so that the in-focus bit of the floor is between the camera and the model but out of the frame.

    Indeed there was some tilt. I have been playing with tilt and lighting to draw the eye to certain parts of the image (on this one and others) and I am still learning how to do it so that it is not overdone to my taste.
    The image I posted is cropped. On the full image you can see that part of the carpet in the foreground was in focus, I suppose I could have done a better job framing during the shoot.
    In terms of sharpness, the lens is very sharp, possible even too sharp for portraiture. see pic

    Re: Nude

    This nudes thread has one very curious side effect: it reveals a lot about who the large format community is. I had to go back to November of 2015 to find a single photo that included a nude male figure (and I gave up looking around mid-2014 to hopefully find a second instance). Where are the Imogen Cunninghams of 2019?? (Or the Robt. Mapplethorpe's for that matter) Are there no women (or non-hetero men) in this community? I don't intend for these comments to be interpreted as negative - I simply find it very revealing and informative.

    To be honest, I don’t do nudes because I don’t want to be perceived as being a Herb Ritts or Robert Mapplethorpe. People tend to make certain assumptions and put you into very small boxes if you pursue certain subjects, and so I refrain. I’m not happy to be saddled with this burden, but I don’t see that I have much choice. “If you build it, they will come.”

    No need to attack the messenger. It is a thoughtful question.

    Is it a prerequisite to having an opinion that you have to shoot nudes?

    Thank you Bill, for your support. But I didn't interpret Charles' question as a kind of attack, but more as a question why - if I feel the male nude is sorely underrepresented - I am not contributing personally to the genre. I think it was an honest question and not intended to attack.

    Frank, I don't think that is what Charles was implying, or at least I hope not. At face value, it was a reasonable question to ask, and so I offered an answer :-)
