January 27, 2006 3:36pm I'm glad i get to be the first to comment on this image. i love the symmetry of it, and the grainy texture you can see in the middle tones. I also love the shape and positioning of the vase. i think this would be a great example of embracing femininity in nude photos. :) the exposure is very clean, as well, with a great balance of lights and darks; it doesn't look dull or bland, or blown out. i can't say enough nice things.
