Yup, beautiful. Even the wrinkled sheet doesn't distract -- it offers a nice contrast to her smooth skin. This version might not have satisfied the "Impressionism" definition, but it certainly resembles a classic painting.
The original is soo much more Renoir than the processed one. I disliked the latter, I added this one to my favourites. It is a beautiful portrait. To me a good photograph is one that makes me look for longer than about five seconds. This one does.
i always get a kick out of these nude self portraits cuz i picture the photog standing there naked then running over to get in position as the timer counts down.
I will heartily agree tho.....if rubenesque means lovely then you certainly are that
Not to take away from your ribbon, but I love the original so much more than the processed one. To me, this does replicate a Renoir, if you were going for the painterly interpretation of the challenge.
