Portrait
Here is a portrait of my beautiful friend that I did a little while ago.
Would love to do it again with my new d50, but the old Canon A30 1.2 megapixel p&s did a pretty good job I reckon. A bit of pp was done to "glam" it up a bit. She loved it, which was the most important thing. Pity she's os at the moment. Critique welcome. Cheers, John D  JED

Whoa.
Good looking girl. I do think that you need a bit of contrast work there... the image seems a tad too brighty and grainy for me... but good job overall. Producer & Editor @ GadgetGuy.com.au

The naughtyness makes it a very interesting photo. You are lucky to have attractive friends who will pose for you.
I think her bumps have plenty of contrast Dee
This portrait is great JED although a little bit of eye contact might have made it a little more saucy... I'd love to see a nice soft B&W version as well... I think it would probably look really good. Cheers, John

Hmm. Seem to have started something here.
Thanks for the comments, glad that you all enjoyed that image. It's one of my favourites. Doesn't hurt that she's drop dead gorgeous. Here are a couple more from other sessions. Not sure about posting others as you blokes might get over excited or be offended by nudity. .
Hope you enjoy. Cheers, John D JED

Ged - if you are worried by nudity or over-exciting the oldies on this site you could post pics as a link with a warning. The first picture you posted has a nice dated feel, Is it a duotone? Is it a little grainy? Was is a crop?
Cheers WW
John,
We have no issues with nudity here. Obviously, we don't want porn (well, some might) but nudity in good taste is always welcome. g.

Kipper, I'm petty sure I have right to suggest what is and isn't acceptable here. If a member has a doubt about an image's acceptability, then there is nothing to prevent them from discussing that with me beforehand. But I have an intense dislike of censorship, and as I said, if it's in good taste, then it's welcome. If, afgter posting, I see something that I have an issue with, then I can move the posting out of the public eye, I can discuss it with the author, and I can even do both. But nudity to me is not offensive, and as I said, I have no problems with it being poisted. g.

I wasn't sure, and I also wasn't sure whether your comment was referring to the nudity or porn section of my seponse.
Not an issue though, because it helps others to understand what is and isn't permitted here. g.

I was refering to the porn. However I do realise it's out of place to post photos of such nature here. You'd also hope, that those that post here would know the boundaries of what can and can't be posted. Then again I suppose everybodies perception of what is acceptable and what isn't, varies from individual to individual.
I think nudity as long as it's artistic shouldn't be an issue. A friend from work once showed me and the rest of the company some nude photos he'd taken of himself and his girlfriend. They were quite artistic, nothing explicit about them. I think I remember seeing a billboard for Bill Henson exhibition with a girl that was fully nude but the way he lit the scene resulted a lot of the girls modesty being hidden. Darryl (aka Kipper)

Warning --- Nudity
Thanks Gary. I hadn't noticed any nude studies on the forum and I didn't find anything mentioned in the forum guidelines so thought that there may have been an "unwritten" rule that as a newbie I would not have been aware of. Porn is more than adequately catered for elsewhere on the net and I agree that there is no place for it on this forum. Hi WW, That picture was shot on b&w film and scanned. I tried to style it along the lines of those the film star studio portraits from the 40's but blowing out the highlights and adding some colour to create a "fantasy" atmosphere. Yes, it is a crop. Here is another shot from that session that was pp'd differently, chasing a surreal effect. 
Cheers, John D JED
