Thanks for nailing it down for me. Neither one, to my eye, looks like

suppose, but no

girl/woman is.
Me and my feminist principles. :-)
No argument.
Actually, I started as a painter and sculptor before making the
transition to photography in the late 60s.
Although related, I find the disciplines very different
conceptually. The painter or sculptor looks at the world and has to
decide what to include. The photographer looks at the world and has
to decide what to exclude.
Anyway, it is sort of a tradition in painting and photography that
artistic nudes not make eye contact with the camera.
