It's funny, but I like the standing shot for exactly the reasons that Stan and Bruce ~don't~ like it. It looks posed, forced, awkward, almost like a heroic propaganda photo from Nazi Germany or Stalinist USSR. There's nothing natural about it, so it seems to make her nudity all the more surreal. The whole image is completely irrational and makes no sense, which is why I like it. ;-) The one of the seated nude is ordinary, but still very nice and well done. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
