Stocking Tops

Photographers Comments
(OK, this time I had better have done this right!!)

A shot of my ever willing wife who models for me on occasion. For that I thank here, and also request the critiques stick to my technique or posing of her than my model herself Colour and tones tweeked in Photoshop to give a more sumptuous feel.

Hi Steve,
Tones, contrast, lighting and exposure appear spot on. The obvious annonimity add to the overall appeal and storyline to the finished image. I would have liked to have seen the creases in the BG washed out more and there is an intruding dark verticle line around the crotch area which draws away the viewers attention and needs to be cloned out. Looking forward to more from you.

If it moves shoot it. If it doesn't move, still shoot it.

Very erotic image considering the absolute minimum amount of flesh shown.

You can't but help think you want to see more. Thats the key, and thats why for me it is an effective pic. Technical points to one side...as an image it really does the job. I find myself caught up in the 'oh how naughty' side of things that I never delved too much in the details of the shot. I think Phil has picked up on points because he has shot quite a lot of this kind of image. I have not (may have something to do with my hump, green teeth and body odour!) Whenever I see images of nudity or partial nudity I tend to get caught in the mood and see it as face value.

At face value....I love it.

Thanks for the input guys. The vertical line you can see is, I believe, the hem of the panties.. I never thought of cloning it out, will have to try that. Same with the background.. tried to do it all with photo wide adjustments, never got too clever with it. Will have a re-work and see what I can come up with.

i'm distracted by the triangular, light spot, just above the stocking top. Also, there is a rather wide halo line on the forground leg. Not experienced enough to suggest how to prevent that. love that deep, rich brown in the sepia
