Wonderful image. Love the softness, beautiful model and depth of field. I'm surprised, however, that no one commented on the phallic nature of the particular candy chosen. Given the sexy tones of the photo overall, I'd have a hard time believing that the phallic symbolism was accidental (not that there's anything wrong with that!). Or am I really just a guy with a dirty mind? No, I don't think so. Nice pic.
Tanja, this is a beautiful image in every way. Creative and sensual but tasteful as well (no pun intended hehe!). I have to say I thought by your scores in the candy thread that you would be taking one of the top spots. Congrats on this superb work and top 5 finish.
OH MY GOODNESS! I would almost rather not know this was a self portrait, because now, every time i see one of your posts i will probably think of this shot...almost unbearably sexy!
OK, well let me tell you that you have created a wonderful serene and beautiful image, yet tragically (for me) the first thing I thought when I saw this was 'ooooo if she gets crumbs on the bed they will be a nightmare to get out of that cover!!! (I must be getting old!)
very nice. my only comment is on the candy itself. the whole thing is so soft and light, the bron chocolate with the ripped wrapper seems to rough. maybe some white chocolate? I still love this though!
