Just a little catch-up on one of the themes that I've been working on in the last 2 years...

John,
really like the B/W tonal range achived in #2 which make the photo interesting to look at.
While probably not your intent it evokes sadness - a drought/starvation/dead animal shot with all the ribs and hip bones protruding .
#1 has some nice lines/gentle curves and I particularily like he balance the extended right arm gives to the shot.
#3 makes great use of the sand and rock texture but sorry think the model looks more like a washed up copse than an object of desire. The right leg being raised (presumably for balance) looks out of place with direction oppossed to the draped lines
but then perhaps beng a female I see the shots from a differet perspective ?

Good lighting in number 1, love the pose and the background. Number 3 I find that her nipple piercings, if that is what they are, slightly distracting. I know you cant control that.

Thanks for your comments Deb... Much appreciated...

I don't normally go for the object of desire look in this type of shot... They are more intended as a contrast between the nude form and the natural landscape...

Thanks Big V...

They are distracting in this sort of image and I could probably have photoshopped them out, but in this case, the piercings are very much part of the model's personality, so I left them in... I think the biggest selling point for the last image is the beautiful sunset light that we had...
