Great picture! I like how I can't tell at first glance whether you're a man or a woman. I think it's the pose; this is the sort of pose you expect to see a woman doing.

Your body language is superb, as always. Every part of you is always poised for statment, nothing is wasted <3

the shadows and lighting are perfection. the helmet is either just a little too distacting to me some thing about the helmet does not sit right with me.

Thank you Shana, that means more than you know! The photographer and I wanted to do a shoot with my helmet as it's so much a part of my identity. I really appreciate your thoughts and thank you for the criticism too, and I'm sorry that the helmet bothers you. Would you have removed it altogether or placed it differently?

shanamac In reply to Retro-Grade1 [2011-04-12 05:44:58 +0000 UTC]

as you know ithe helmet is just an opinion on my part. if it is your identity, make more sence. i may have placed it dif. i dont like being a crit though. it is just that i dont find that it was constuctive. it was just an opinion. the fact is technicly it is a perfect snap.

Of course, and I love to hear your thoughts and opinions Shana! I can see how it might look a little odd, a helmet and a nude, and that's fine that you think so. That means the world to me and it helps me grow sweetie.
And I want to say how breathtaking your new works are, I love how expressive you are with your body, it creates dramatic and striking portraits, very beautiful work Shana!

Aww... I'm sure you've raised her well! May she's just ornery, or perhaps your friend sneaks her lots of goodies when you're not looking and thus is bitter you don't do the same!
