pretty face, peaceful expression
(imo, she needs a bra in a big way!) - rebecca - www.rebeccaatlarge.blogspot.com Ok, we are judging the photographer and not the model here, and in that, this photo is really good: lighting makes her face so bright, looks really good... I love the greens in the back and her shiny dress... I wish she had a different pose, but could still go with this one - looks inviting... this and the gate totally make sense. Damn this dress is pretty! Was that an overcast day? Good job! - Ela The fact that the gate frames her aysmetrically gives movement to what could have been a static scene if she just had been centered under the arch. Instead, she looks like she has been waiting or is anxious to bolt. Either way, gorgeous juxtaposition of the detailing on the woodwork and the brilliant greenery behind her. - Whoops, not anonymous. That asymmetrical blathering was all me. - Alexis cleavage...there i said it...
gorgeous dress also... - Carlos - http://www.fortstreetpulse.com Rebecca:
Disagree completely. Who says she needs a bra? You? Society? Why should we value your or society's opinion over Bill's or the models? The fact is, she's a beautiful woman with a gorgeous body, in a beautiful pose in a beautiful location. And my opinion is as subjective as yours.
So I disagree. Gorgeous photo, Bill, as always. Well done. Archway, her tilted mona lisa-type smile, beautiful. - Peter - www.prdifferently.com I agree her breasts are the first things I noticed and it's slightly distracting from the overall shot.
It is a nice shot though. - Kaet Oh good grief. Those are what real breasts look like, when they're not smooshed together and shoved up to the neck. Gorgeous shot, gorgeous greenery, gorgeous dress, and gorgeous model. Soft, inviting, with a hint of mystery. It's sweet. - JA Funny, you were expecting controversy over bare breasts and now you're getting it over imperfect ones. No one has a problem with perky breasts, but as soon as you show a pair of real ones, or god forbid a pair of nursing breasts, there's an uproar. I think this woman is very beautiful, not because of her breasts, but because she knows she doesn't have a perfect body and she's not going to hide it or change it so that some people can feel comfortable looking at her.
Bill, good job capturing a real woman!!!!
Gyda, I don't know you, but confidence is HOT!!! - Mabbel Just to be safe, Bill, from now on, you clearly should do only nudes. - Alexis Oh good grief. Those are what real breasts look like - Jeremiah Cornelian OMG, really! - Jeremiah Cornelian I wish my Drumstick got this kind of attention... - Eric - www.myspace.com/ericwagner76 Hmmmm... judging by her description, she's three times a lady. (Yes, groan at the reference, I did when I thought of it!) And quite a lady indeed! A gorgeous image. - Nette i should have worded my comment better. i apologize for upsetting anyone. i should have said what Kaet did. for that is what i meant.
i'm all for reality, and real women's bodies, nude or not nude. i didn't mean to judge that way, and i'm embarrassed.
it truly is a lovely and peaceful photo of a peaceful looking woman that didn't deserve what i said prior.
i have the utmost appreciation for all of bill's work. - rebecca - www.rebeccaatlarge.blogspot.com Her eyes pull me in. - Tif
I'm Bill Wadman, a New York-based photographer who after completing my first 365 Project, and then a weekly 52 Project, took it upon myself to shoot and post one portrait every day of 2007. Each photo was taken that day, and each day was a different subject. Some were be in the studio, some in the wild. Hopefully they are all interesting.
