Contented * Don't open if offended by nudity *

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

No, It's not a pic of me sitting here in my Y Fronts.


I have thought about posting this for a while now, but I love it that much I had to.
I hope nobody is offended, as it is a very natural & beautiful event, I managed to convince the Wife it is all in the name of "Art"

My little boy Mitchell after a nourishing feed, feeling very Contented.

Mic. :wink:

No problems here Mic - a beautiful shot of a beautiful moment. My only problem would come with shots of the initial conception :lol:

Mic

Great shot. What nudity? I just don't get people who take offense at something as natural as a child and a nipple. It's the same for people breast feeding in public. OK so a breast can be a sexual object, but so can a hand or a foot or whatever shakea your tree, but a woman exposing a breast to feed her child - puhleez.

But I digress. Tell your wife she did well as did her hubbie & child. The composition is great, the image is evocative and the B & W is the icing on the cake. Thanks to both you and your wife for having the courage to share.

It's a great image, and the black and white works perfectly. Only thing I'm left wondering is how it would look with the nipple OOF and the child nice and crisp.

Thanks for all the positive comments,

Chris, :wink: Now that would have been a sight :shock:

BP, Thanks :wink:

Alex, Thanks :wink:

Stubbsy, Thanks :wink: Yeah, I know. Just put that in the heading icase someone fainted, but I was pretty sure everybody is up to date with society today.

NetMagi & MCWB, Yeah, I might try another, It would draw more attention to the child & not the Nipple.

Dee, Thanks :wink: Yeah a tiny bit dark I think

Mudder, :wink: Cheers.

In my mind this is what photography is all about. Telling a story and this photo does it perfectly.

Congrats. This is my vote for shot of the week
