Give me your best, the gem in your port, the picture you think is top, number one. And I'll either list it, or tell you why it didn't make it.

Based solely on my own preferences, don't get your panties in a bunch if I don't like your work.

I'll be nice, I promise I don't bite.

No linking to your entire port, I'll only take submissions linked in the thread, or pictures displayed. (but if I like the picture you link, I may sneak a peak at your port for more.)

I'm attached to this one because of the story behind it.  My model fell in while posing and was upside-down laughing her ass off, trying to get out.  I'm outside, laughing MY ass off and shouting, "Point your toes!  Point your toes!" - shooting like a madman.

Fantastic model.  Loved working with her.

There are some better shots, technically, that came from that shoot, but this one is my favorite.

The black and white feels a bit flat to me, and it's not quite my taste, but you do have some other nice work in your portfolio!

I like the lighting, and I think it's an interesting picture, but I'm not a fan of the models poses. So not that one. But I do like most of your work, I see you around the forums a lot and have eyed your port many times.  tongue

I like the picture, I think it's well done. My problem with it is that when it comes to nudes, they have to be exceptionally well done or have another element to draw me in. The chair is also distracting.

I like this one better because the lighting is interesting and eye catching:

Great story, great emotion. I'm not a big fan of the 'younger' models expression, but the picture overall is well done. Listed!

Not quite my style. It's a lovely picture, but it's just not hitting home. Maybe it's the models expression.

Your port has some nice work, keep it up.  smile

Thank you!  The younger girl was a friend of the photographer who volunteered for this photo shoot and she had never modeled before, that wasn't even her dress. I think she looks stiff and emotionless, which probably works OK for the concept.

My thoughts exactly on her. But I can understand if it was her first time.

It's a little to bright for my taste, and I think the mask clashes with the dress.
I like this though:

But I'm sad that in both pictures the models faces are a bit blurry.

You're a very pretty model, and I love your facial features. The problem I have with this picture is mainly the dress, it's very distracting. Are those ants on the skirt?
But this is fantastic:
