Tomorrow's prompt is: Outlier. For some strange reason, I'm really looking forward to this one.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think nudity in art is more sensuous when there's a little something left to the imagination.
i would agree...the mystery goes a long way...nicely subtle here...smiles.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely...
ReplyDelete...love it, especially the belly button. It's...I don't know...perverse in its own way. :)
This is absolutely beautiful, Cheryl. The curves, the shadows, they work perfectly together. I do believe we have the winner of the day. ;)
ReplyDeleteOkay, now we're talking. This sure beats a cactus or banana. Great picture. I love it.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, Ziva. I think she wins for today too!
ReplyDeleteabsolutely fabulous! And is that YOUR flat tummy?
ReplyDeletePerfectly artistic, Cheryl. You've done the theme proud! A really great photo in all aspects.
ReplyDelete;-)
I agree with you totally.
ReplyDeleteIt is so bored and dull if there is no room of imagination.
great shot! self portrait, i'm certain.
ReplyDeletethat is a beautiful shot, it really engages the mind and leaves a lot to wonder about ...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photograph. But I thought you said that you didn't know how to take a self-portrait.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. This is lovely!
ReplyDelete=)
Really beautiful Cheryl! Stunning!
ReplyDeleteThanks Brian.
ReplyDeleteInteresting perspective, Bryan.
ReplyDeleteFunny thing is I struggled with leaving it in or cropping it out. The photo needed the balance so I left it.
Thanks Ziva. I'd originally taken a photo of a tiny nude watercolor to post. When I noticed the play of light and shadow on this beach shot, I ran with it.
ReplyDeleteThank you Meleah.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dufus.
ReplyDeleteThanks cutie. It could be but it isn't. (I have flat belly genes, have never given birth, and am struggling with anorexia.) This is just something I shot at the beach (it's cropped from a larger picture that I took for the irony of what she was wearing, rather than what she wasn't.)
ReplyDelete(I still don't know how to take a self-portrait with my smartphone camera.) I need an iPhone. Badly.
Thanks 00. Almost wimped out with a photo of watercolor nude I saw in my travels. It was a beautiful little painting and I may go back and buy it.)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. There's so little left to the imagination in print, film, TV, and online.
ReplyDeleteIt actually could be if I could figure out how to take a self portrait, but it's not.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo. I fell in love with the lighting.
ReplyDeleteI don't and yes, this could be me. I've got the flat stomach gene.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue. You know me well enough to know I'm only tasteless when it doesn't matter.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda.
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent interpretation. I like the sculpture-like feel, as if the skin is plaster.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
ReplyDeleteOh. Well, it's a FABULOUS photo!
ReplyDeleteI think that's always the case...in and out of art! Especially the older I get. ;-)
ReplyDeleteTastefully done. I like it.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, Cheryl!
ReplyDeleteHowever, could you please post the rest of the photo so that the rest of us can decide for ourselves whether you're right when you say it's better to leave a little bit to the imagination, or whether it's actually better not to have to waste so much energy trying to imagine what we can't see?
Thank you in advance for enlightening us.
I honestly don't think you can handle what's in the rest of the photo.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteAin't that the truth.
ReplyDeleteGravity works.
Would you settle for alabaster?
ReplyDeleteVery well done, Cheryl. And you're so right about leaving something to the imagination.
ReplyDeleteK
With pictures of nekkid folks on TV, in movies, magazines, on the internet, etc. blah blah blah, a little mystery is important.
ReplyDelete"a little something left to the imagination" is everything about nude and you've captured this very well indeed!
ReplyDeleteProbably not.
ReplyDeleteSTUNNING! ARTISTIC! BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mo.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Thank you Katherine.
ReplyDeleteI think nudity in art is more sensuous when there's a little something left to the imagination.
ReplyDeleteYou and me both! Beautiful photo!
Very well done. Curves, flat tummy. . . . yes that could totally be me. LOL If only I would apply myself and exercise just a wee bit.
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, nicely done.
