Thanks, this is a really meaningful image; a very personal expression of Breeanna's loneliness and worry while her soldier was away at war.

Thank you! This is one of my favs too. It has Breanna's powerful signature beauty but it also has such a story to tell. In her eye you can see her pain, longing, worry, love, and the amazing strength with which she carries all of that emotion. I have so much respect for this woman. I know what she went through when her soldier was at war. So glad her husband is home safely with her now.

She has a beautiful back (I know, odd thing to say!) that really makes those dog tags stand out. And the soft, sad look on her face is very poignant.

I think your interpretation is quite accurate! It is a sad and poignant image, but also very beautiful IMHO.

I like this one very much.
She has a very athletic body and it fits perfectly with the theme

I agree, she looks like she's in the military herself, based on her unbelievable super-fitness-model physique. But she tells me she doesn't have to do a thing to maintain her shape.

Yes true.. well some people are gifted.
Anyway, it looks good.. I am very inspired by that picture

I'm glad to here that, then you are a very lucky fellow! This lovely woman is as in love with her soldier as she is beautiful.

I don't know what to love most about this shot... Breeanna, you're beautiful as always, as James captures so well. And on top of it all, a wonderful statement.
A side note: Not to get windy here, but my girlfriend/friends/family would tell you I have a soft spot for soldiers and their loved ones... Breeanna might usually be saved in my Artistic nude or Pin-up collections, but with this shot it didn't seam appropriate to add anywhere but straight up favorites, respectfully... Beautiful photo, both of you.

Thank you, yes this shot is really special. It is very personal, Breeanna sharing everything about herself. It's a portrait of her courage, strength, love, conviction, fears, hopes, loneliness; and lastly... her unequaled beauty.

I think it's one of the things that make her a remarkable model... besides being exceptionaly beautiful, she shows so much honesty in every frame. It's always so much more than just sexy. It goes to show the art involved on both sides of the camera... even as a sketch artist I find I learn more with photography. I hope you'll pass the message to her. Thanks for sharing your work.

She will eventually see your message and may comment herself. she is very good about checking in to see what her fans say about our images.

Love the picture - hate the dA watermark.
There IS a better way to protect your work other than obscuring it behind an obscene blob of discoloration. You already know how to use a watermark - just put it where it makes sense.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'll consider myself spanked for over-use of the watermark. But if you had any idea how many of my images are getting ripped-off here on DA and posted everywhere, you might not be so harsh.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Didn't mean to be harsh. You're work is so beautiful it actually hurts to see it defaced by that big old dA watermark.
I understand about getting ripped off and it's very sad that there are people who stoop so low as to steal someone else's creative work. This, unfortunately, makes watermarks necessary. But I've noticed that some artist are able to use smaller watermarks, strategically placed so that they don't distract from the impact of the image yet make it impossible to steal. It does involve some extra work but your work is worth it.
Thanks for sharing the beauty.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I hate watermarks just as much as you do, but If I deem the image a potential target of theft, I have to use them in large measure, it is unfortunate.

Great picture (concept, pose, and, of course, model)! BUT... I agree with WillingAccomplice - "hate the dA watermark". I understand Your concerns but there are other ways to prevent scumbag thieves... luniara has the right idea here --> [link] . I am a devout DA and it breaks my heart to see a masterpiece SELF-defaced. I do NOT think The Mona Lisa would have been recognized, as the masterpiece that it is, if Leo signed his name and copy right ALL ACROSS her face and body.

It does bother me on this image in particular, so I may try to change it if I get time to redo it.

I think you are being a bit pushy about this. It's not your call. DA should certainly provide a way to adjust the visibility of the watermark, but it doesn't do that as of yet. I'm capable of doing it in photoshop, as I had done on this image, I placed my watermark low and very transparent. At first, that was the only watermark on this image. But then I realized that the images was very vulnerable to theft. I could place my name across the middle of the model's face and body, but that seems strangely egocentric to me, and too possessive. So I activated the DA watermark. It does suck, but it protects my image. Hundreds of my images have been stolen and I have found them on sites all over the world, including one guy who took my image, cropped-off my personal watermark, and entered the image in an illustration contest, submitted as his own work. All of that sucks more than a watermark.

If she is a fake barbie, then I am a fake ken. This is a great pic of one of the truly authentic natural beauties on DA. More Breeanna always.

What a beautiful photo and sentiment...easily strong enough to weather the remarks of a few people who obviously have no business being on an art site. I don't see any evidence of Barbie in this pic...I see a strikingly beautiful woman's strikingly beautiful face and back...and as a veteran, I see a salute to comrades in harm's way...thank both of you for this image

Thanks, yes that one thoughtless and idiotic remark was a terrible way to start out a fantastic image like this. But we are back on track now, people are seeing what this image is really about, thanks again to Breeanna for telling us what it means to her, and for putting it in its true context. BTW, Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

This is a very moving peice. As a retired veteran I thank you for this work as a reminder of why wer fought, why wer fight, and all of the things that are worth making the sacrafice for.
On this day I am thankful for those who served, are serving, and those who will answer the call in the future. I am thankful for the living, the wounded, the departed, and the ones who we leave behind who support us, and fear for us.
God Bless you all.

You should respect Dog Tags for the person who wears them for a purpose or someone who supports someone in the Military! This Picture is meant to be a Proud Army Wife & that I stand strong when my Husband fghts for your country & your freedom!

i as a fellow soldier greatly appreciate what you just said and what you stand for in this picture, the support of a loving person back home that so many soldiers dont have but really truely need!
soldiers are often looked up to as the strength of the nation but the strength they need is back at home waiting for them.

I salute you for standing by a hero! Anyone who serves is a hero and I love that your showing your pride this way. GORGEOUS image, your expression says it all. YOU are stunning and I love your work and your gorgeous face stops me in my tracks every time. Kudos to u for this statement! GO USA!

Bree, I really didn't tell the entire story of this image other than the title; because I try not to tell much personal info about models as you know. But thanks for sharing your story and giving more of the meaning of the image to everyone. Actually, I thought people would be able to read a lot of that from the title and the Dog Tags, but honestly, I think a lot of people just see your beauty and they get light-headed and don't think about the image too deeply. So anyway, again, thanks for telling them the meaning! And may your soldier always stay safe where ever his duties take him.

i don't really care how dog tags were supposed to be worn as long as she can show off her sexy back!

EXCUSE YOU pss7-at. But I am NO Fake Barbie!! I don't even look 0.1%% fake in this picture so you can just shut your mouth please and thank you!!!

you really got that wrong, she's is the REAL thing, as beautiful as a real woman can be. Barbie is made of plastic; and you are very close to a DA member block.

I don't really understand how the lovely Breeanna can be perceived as fake looking..

I don't get that one either, maybe he was trying to make a joke and it just wasn't funny. Sometimes people write before they think. I get offended easily when people say things that sound like insults to the models. Guess I'm very protective of them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I would get protective too. Breeanna is as natural a beauty as they come.
