The lighting in all these photographs is, at best, clinical. Cannot you use photography's elemental quality to distinguish your work?

For the second time. How about you become a bit more constructive in your criticism? Either give some `` advise`` or show us how its done. Im about to break my own rules and start putting someone on my ignorelist.

Light as in something like this, for example.

Sorry for that. It worked for me. Here is something else, not a nude: http://www.digoliardi.net/dawn_a.jpg

The point I wished to make earlier is that the nude subject is a good one to model with light.

BTW, I really like Ramiro Elena's Promoción Marc Parrot pictures. Great light, rendering, selective focus.

I don't know if criticism is welcome but I don't think Jac was out of line by mentioning the lighting wasn't really considered or controlled very well... I tend to agree with him. Except big knockers trump lighting for most guys.

Posting photos knowing you're going to draw blanket universal praise is a bit narcissistic isn't it? Finding something to improve upon - or at least challenging your pictures - should be welcomed. Insulting someone as an unintelligent drunk is reveals a lot doesn't it?
