Also, while I think it's a great image it's a bit traditionally sexy glamour for my tastes, I generally like images that are a bit more unusual.

I think you'll find it's a lingerie shot, it's not at all Glamour, there so much glamour photography on here, how would you get the two confused, there to different genre's, lingerie and glamour.

My photo if you looked closely is stylized, has substance, is sexy but conveys a nice mood also. no offense to anyone, but it's not just some girl with caution tag covering her chest, or hand bra's, or bent over towards the camera with suggestive facial expressions> sucking on a lolly,banana or their finger = all glamour type photography.

+ the genre I shot in is by no means unusual, but the fact people say they can feel something from it even though you can't see the models face/ expression > is Unusual, as appose to the model looking in the camera lens so you can't help but feel something.

I couldn't have shot this shot.

It's just a girl sitting on a branch (I don't feel anything when I look at it) quite meaning less, there's no mood or feeling.

The avatar wouldn't be mine because it doesn't have the depth and range of tones that I value.

I don't see any fundamental reason why I wouldn't have shot this though, other than I've never been to the Bonneville Salt Flats where there was water.  The centering of this doesn't bother me here; I think I would've cropped it like this too.  I like it, it's just not what I try to do.

Avi above me couldn't be mine because I wouldn't do that kind of concept. Not because she's nude implied, but because the concept just comes off as a little...cheesy(sorry hmm). She also looks a tad awkward facially....

Not the kind of model I'd shoot, and the colors and texture are not my style either.

Would not have cropped that way, either before or after. Really does not create a flattering or edgy image.

Lovely, but I wouldn't crop it like this, straight down your arm and cut at your wrist.  A re-crop, and yeah.  I'd finish it differently.

Couldn't be mine because....

I would have chosen a slightly lower viewpoint for two reasons, one to maximise available contrast on darker stockings and two, also to make those loooong legs even longer.

Wow, jeeze.  I said I liked it.  It is a very good image and definately high class.  The point of this thread was to say why the avatar above wouldn't be yours. I'm sorry if I got the terminology wrong.  Instead of glamour I probably should have said "obviously sexual" in that the main focus is on her arse, descriptive words aren't my strong point.  No need to get so touchy.

Sorry people, please skip me.

Sorry people, please skip me.

Sorry how do you know what the main focus is?, was you there when I took the shot?, Oh sorry you're psychic. FYI the model was in movement and I happen to capture that angle.

Obviously sexual?, as that was least of my concern, shall I prioritize:

model
location
light
contrast
shadows
attire
composition
iso
aperture
shutter

then as you put it "obviously sexual", because you knew what kind of shot I was wanting to create/ going to create.

In my opinion what you did was say it's a good image but it's a little cheap/ tacky for my liking, so it couldn't have been mind.

Is it because I don't have a picture of a crotch in any of my pictures.

^^^ Well you read minds, so I'm sure I'm free to make a small assumption.

Lets call it quits ay...

I'm not going to talk about your work, I reckon you should probably stop talking about mine.

The main reason is that you're in California, and I'm in Missouri.

I could have easily shot that pose, and I love the expression. I'm sure I would have had you in front of a different background (studio or location). I would have lit the photo differently. And I would have cropped it differently. But the overall look... I'll take it.

It wouldn't be mine because it is not shot in some bizarre location, it's generally glamorous,  and it includes clothing.
