Description I am my favorite model. I don't say it arrogantly or whatever synonym word you can find that goes along with that. The reason why I say this is because I know what I want in a picture. Why would I want another model? For variety I guess.

I seldom drink these days, but the other night I had about four beers in me, and I thought to myself, "Ahhhhh, a warm shower sounds splendid." I feel the title fits this perfectly. And anyone who has drank enough to where a shower sounds just perfect can understand it.

And no, you can try all the highlighting techniques there is in the world, but I covered myself perfectly. lol.

COMMENTS AND CRITIQUE greatly appreciated.

good use of lighting and cropping/positioning. had you been centered in the photo it would have ruined everything.

also the gesture of your head being slightly down and covered in shadow make this a gorgeous shot.

great shot!! (I feel your pain, except minus the drinking... was sick for 3 months one time, and it hurt to breathe... little bro had to carry me up and down stairs n' shtuff...it was hell. >.< But yeah, I just wanted to lay in a warm bathtub until all the pain went away... shitty part was, the laying in the warm water made the leaking blood vessal thingy worse... >.< But it's all gone now, thank god!)
So yeah, awesome picture... I love the lighting... Kinda makes me feel all dizzy and blah just looking at it...

leaking blood vesseL? what the heck?

TwilightAlyssum In reply to gusgusgustus [2006-10-03 01:00:38 +0000 UTC]

it was called Vasculitis (aka Henock-Shalin-Papura -sp??- ) Apparently, only 8 year old boys can get it, and it's caused by a virus. They don't know what causes it... and can't really do anything to fix it.... What happens is that the capilaries (the tiny-ass veins in your hands; legs; arms; ect.) start to leak blood -not a lot, really- but those tiny leaks cause arthritis... which hurts like a bitch!... It hurt to simply breath.... >.< So, they give you steriods to keep the swelling from the arthritis down, but since you're ON the steriods, they can't give you anything as far as pain-killers and the like... >.< Plus, you run the risk of going into renal (kidney) failure, and dieing... And, I wasn't really able to eat a lot of food while sick, so I lost a lot of weight....
Well, I was practically the only over 8 year old FEMALE to get the thing.... and I miss my 1st semester finals for Sophomore year in High School, and my Advisor starts bitching about how I'm not in class, so my doctor basically calls her and tells her to f-off....I'm too sick to come to school....

Long story short:
I wouldn't wish that crap on ANYBODY it sucked so bad.... and it could come back too, so I mini-freak out every time I get sick....

hehe I'm all good... Hey, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger". Cool thing though, was that my teachers froze my grades, so I wasn't really marked off for being sick.

which is a good thing, because it means you're able to evoke emotion... sorry, didn't think to add that 'til after I submitted the other comment...

BTW: I think that this has possibly inspired me to do a piece sorta like this. It'll involve a little maniping because there's an effin' toliet next to our shower, but I may do it.

i like it when people keep out distracting body parts. it gives more attention to the art.

Very nice. I can understand about the model thing, many times it is really difficult to communicate to the model exactly what you want out of a picture. The lighting is great, and the fisheye effect, interesting too. It's almost like I'm spying on this scene...
