Is this the page you're referring too ... doesn't seem updated in a loooooong time ...

Nope that was the one that I was looking for ... but that is a good page too.

Was thinking about trying to get some of the winners to Susie somehow.  Was talking with her the ither day and she can't get to the contest page ..... Camp and all ... so I though that I might be able to find another way ro get the recent winners to her without getting her in trouble. 

the page I was looking for is this one:

https://www.modelmayhem.com/list.php?list_id=30850

Thanks for the other info though.

I can make her a comp and put it on her site for her - but will have to be after Ms. Tiana leaves ...

Only if she comes to the Mid Atlantic Region too! Susies Stuck in PA with no access to MM from her internet connection :-(  Probably shouldn't even try - It might get her in trouble.  god knows I wouldn't want that.

I thought people would be here discussing the entries.

They used to. Put your name on the list so your image can be discussed (otherwise it's an unsolicited critique). If you get lucky and enter on the right day, sometimes it'll be discussed.

Where's the list?

Like Laura said, ask to have your name put on the list, and then any day you'd like feel free to critique other entries or ask to have your own critiqued.  People will be glad to share their opinions if you ask.

Just post here in this thread.  Say "Please add me to the List" and somebody will come along tonight and do so.

Sorry for not being able to keep a regular schedule of smashing and praising.  Have had other issues to attend to....I will try to say a few words tonight after I count the vote..so no ties..better chance I speak!

I think we can forgive you for that one...Should have had her help you vote.

That was the original point of the thread. It has lately been hijacked for other purposes ... time for a stake through its heart?

You will have to talk with her about future travel.

Right now her own site isn't blocked and I've given her some "back door" URLS in case they do ... so as soon as I have the time I'll start keeping her posted.

Welcome to Friday review of the contest.  First let me say that was totally no fun tonight..first the site goes down right at closing time and then you guys leave me with the second tie in as many days.  And it's a frigging 3 way tie.  On the positive side you all voted for a total of 14 different works..like everyone BUT me got a vote today??  So it was a very hard time picking the winner.

So a real quick review cause I have to help my brother finish building the deck on my folks house in a couple hours then hang art work for a gallery show on Sunday at the place I live/shoot.

Wow what a pair to work with.  Had to say which is better.  Interesting way to pose them, would have liked to see a little more light on Tiana's face and more a looking into each others eyes.  But again that's my taste.  This image was going to be my vote till I really spent lots of time looking at the other two.  So Sorry for runner up today but great job.

OK...I have to run...check out the next to last image in this weeks toy series.  One more image on Sunday, then it's on to couples week.

Thanks for the lighting tips Jeff! I will keep trying.

No hijacking at all.  This thread is for critique of participants and discussion of thread issues.    The second post of the thread from the OP:

A little chatter seems to be alright in the 18+ POD thread, but when a debate arises it would seem that we need to have some place off the thread to go and hash it out.

For now please bookmark this page in case you need to take a conversation here from the 18+ thread.

Also, I noticed in one of Tommy Dee's comments on the 18+ that Tiana is now a Playboy model? What edition - modeling, special edition,etc? She is a sweetheart and a joy to work with and Tommy Dee's pictures of her are some of the best!

Thanks Eric for asking to join the list..I have a few comments I would love to make this evening after voting is complete.

This is probably going to be a really dumb comment, but I have to ask...why do so many models go for the no pubic hair, bald look?     Personally I think the natural look is much better in nude photography and definitely influences the way I vote.
Scott Foltz's winning POTD18+ entry https://www.modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pid=6169848    is a good example.

I guess most photographers don't know what the model has got down there, until the shoot starts!  I realize it is probably a personal feminine choice, unrelated to photo modeling, but maybe models think that is what the photographers want...little or no pubic hair.   But then maybe no one else cares and I am just a bit weird!

Nothing weird about it ...

Some models shave/wax ... some don't, some come up with interesting patterns, some trim ... etc ...

It's up to the photographer to ask if the model doesn't state it in her profile or if it's not clear from her portfolio ... most of the time it's very clear though ...

I prefer pubic although shaving lips and leaving the bush there is an acceptable compromise

There are a ton of threads from both models and photographers on the subject

YMMV,

Rudi

Assuming this wasnt a blend, not only was the model's location A+, getting a vantage point to shoot it was A++. Photographically speaking I felt the lighting was superb, diagonals coming into the lower corners, perpendicular as possible without using Tommy's digital transit.
On the other side of the camera though.....I wouldve liked to have seen her standing in the opening of the rail, with a more imaginative pose. The job you did Stephen still makes it a eye catcher.

I liked this a lot. What kept on distracting me was the bottom of the lamp shade, and the foot coming out of the pillow. If this had been cropped at the top a wee bit more...I would've likely pulled the trigger on this.

Bodyscapes I dont lean to often. Many do them, many fail to hit the mark. To me, it is an artform to shoot consistently well. IMHO this one hits the mark on the levels I like to see. Lighting, minute detail,  focus, contrast, tonal range etc. etc. One thing that gave me pause was the hot spot on the right breast. After much thought, I decided I could live with it, and after awhile saw it in a differet light, no pun intended. I would hang in my library or office. This was it.

And thanks all for your support of Zinn's superb talents today.

Thank you!  I am honored and humbled.  This made up for only receiving one vote.

What ever happened to the list of members who'd given permission to have their work discussed in this thread?  I haven't seen it on the last page, or on the next-to-last page, in quite some time.  And I get the feeling that posters may be discussing work by only a very few photographers and models partly because the list isn't readily accessible.

I need DJ to PM me about that, I have an idea

As for Orixx....you astound me. Every image I have ever seen of you has been nothing short of creative and graceful. Yesterday's win was well deserved.
