Congrats. I knew you were going to win. I didn't comment when I voted (didn't want it to go to your head) but very well deserved. I was surprised to hear you say the oversaturated knees were a mistake. I thought it was intentional. I think it one of the things that makes the photo so interesting mistake or intentional. Great job!
Please don't take this the wrong way, and apologies to the model if I am wrong, but the more I look at this the more I wonder if this is a drag queen? It fits the challenge just as well if it is, it wouldn't change my score, but I am just curious. (It's the feet size, which I think someone else mentioned too).
Just a quick note to say Thanks to all of you who liked this photo (specially tha ones who commented on it).
A few weeks ago I decided to change my site preferences so that I couldn't see my average during the week (I like surprises), and needless to say, this was a great one : )
Last but not least, thanks to my lovely wife for lending me her time (and legs) for this photo, and for letting me post it without hesitating. See, dear, it was woth it! Let's do it again sometime...
Regarding the little details some of you mentioned (ie. the rug beeing intrusive and the oversaturated knees), you're absolutely right, but since this wasn't the original idea I just when crazy when I saw this posse and overlooked those things.
I'll try it again to make it better and let you know in the forums.
Hola Lu, soy Carla Garcia Cano y bueno, aparte de que ya vi tu SUPER MERECIDO 1er lugar, ya me dijo el compadrito que la modelito es Myrna.... WOW... FELICIDADES A AMBOS!!!!!!!!! lastima que esta semana no tuve tiempo nisiquiera de ver las fotos casi, asi que mucho menos de votar, pero ahora que las veo, SEGURAMENTE hubiera sido, si no mi favo, si una de ellas, sinceramente creo que no le falto ni le sobro NADA EN LO ABSOLUTO... not even overexposed knees, carpet or so... ;) EXCELENTE FOTO EN TODO SENTIDO!!!! Ü
i like this shot ... the concept and all .. i just wish the bottom wasnt washed out .... maybe a red bottom rug or what not would be even more of a seductive look .... 7-photosbyayme
Probably the only photo I've seen on here that I would buy. Exceptional shot! Edgy but tasteful. Congrats! The only 10 I'm giving this challenge. bamaster (10)
Nice idea to focus on just a small part of the body and yet still convey sex appeal/ lust. Like the cross-legged pose though find the higher foot too close to image edge for my taste. Like the triangle of white space (negative space!:) created by your composition. 8, Kavey
I really like this... first of all for the obvious reasons (sorry... I am a guy, can't change that) but also for the softness of the image that lends it a dream-like quality. The composition also has an abstracted quality that is quite jarring... I guess the only thing distracting to me would be the right shoe disappearing into the plush carpet. 9
i really like the lighting here. really sets off the subject well and gives an almost angelic feel to the sin! the composition and diagonal lines are nice too. 9--alecia
This picture is okay. Maybe because I'm female, I don't really get a charge out of it. Maybe it would have been better if she would have been laying on something fuzzy or maybe even a satin sheet instead of a carpet.
Technically a good image. I like the diagonal line of the composition and the "black and white in color". I also like the subtle understatement of the Lust. The only thing I don't like are those black panties. Puritan. They make the image less professional. It would have helped the image greatly if there had been no panties so that one (meaning men) could have the thrill that if they looked closely perhaps they could see something even if there was nothing to see. 9 Journey
Outstanding this week! And I really hate to admit this because it´s not my type of photographing. Composition, colours, yes everything is just great This week I had decided to comment just bad ones, but I couldn´t resist this. And it IS sexy in a nice way! /carsten
nice framing, negative space.. I like the white background and the pose that reveals only the legs. (well.. ok.. a little more than the legs.) Effective shot. 8
Hmmm...don't much care to look at the butt of another women, I don't like the carpet she is laying on. The lighting is to soft. but everything else is nice. Thank you for not showing anything else. Vote 8 Sonifo
I like this photo a LOT. I think the title needs some work (humbly said - I am no title genius myself). I wish the behind the knees weren't so terribly bright, but it doesn't destroy it for me (and it's better than I could do). Good job. 8, just-married
I really like this shot. A couple of nitpicks tho. The light is just a little too bright in the center- esp along the edge of the leg. I also don't like seeing the carpet. If it would completely blend in with the bg then it would be cool, but I don't like seein git along the bottom edge or the fact that it cuts off the bottom of the shoe. Awesome idea, very well executed. 9 ~indigo997
I like this composition, but it seems a little overexposed, and I do not like the foreground, background, or the way the foot disappears into the carpet. This could be a 10 with a few minor changes 7 Zeiss
how did you know i was a leg man--usually i not crazy about white background with just the subject--but you did an excellent job with this image--10bobgaither
Damn, high heels and everything. The only thing ihave to complain about htis is the light, seems a bit too bright. Have you tried using a flash on the lower half and using a subdued lighting fo rthe top? 9 paganini
God this is good. Then again, of course it's good. I mean the composition is excellent. Then again... the bod is fantastic. No, I mean the composition is excellent. Damn. Great job. I wish I had taken this shot. Great choice with the lined pantyhose. The lines add to the shot.
One of my early favorites from the challenge. The composition is beautiful. The blinding whites work incredibly well. Your use of space and lines is exceptional. Oh, and you met the challenge with honors.
