Comment by adine: Ilike the background, adds meaning to the abstract object. The reflections have nice colors. but are a bit distracting. I might have cropped more top and bottom t pull the composition together more.
Comment by graphicfunk: To those that got it, thank you.
About this picture: First, I did not want to introduce a sexy looking picture, because it takes away from the the message. I then selected a foreshortening angle combined with closed legs at the bottom to change the look of the mass. I then created a layer, GB and worked the edges to remove firmness. I even changed the shadow values very slightly to give the rear a softer look. Out of this layer I erased the juncture of the buttocks. I then played with the channels to augment skin imperfections. I even burned the hands around the joints and knuckles. yes, I got carried away. Well, at the end it was a nude butt, but not overpowering as a sexual image. Shoot me.
