Very interesting piece for the very reason that I´m belonging to the male party among others ^_^ Nice texture and "youth-free" retouching it! Into my favs.
"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts." Bertrand Russell
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is a society, where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar,
I love not man less, but Nature more
--Lord Byron
...hmmmm lovely pic.. i love adding textur into images.. and you have some lovely grain in there :D... call me paranoid.. but when i ever do anything with a slightly nude female image it been taken down in miliseconds :( im not bitter.. i just liked my image alot and im not able to share it..the image i had was shot from behind.. the model was visibly wearing at least one more artical of clothing than yours.. and you could see only the slightest curvature of the side of one breast...i'd put a link to the image up in this post .. but.. well seeing as it got removed from the site.. i wouldn't want the same to happen to my post.. sorry for ranting on your page :D
that's a gorgeous manip ! love the play with light and shadows, the texture is interesting too. Pierre is right, we really need to see it full size!! a beautiful piece of art Tracy!^^
very very nice. you see. by artistic nudity this is what i ment. i like this. it isnt objectifing(SP?) the girl in anyway. its glorifying her really. nice image
moment of silence please for those who never get the chance
they show up to the party but they're never asked to dance
the losers the liars the bastards the thieves
the cynicists, the pessimists and those that don't believe in nothing

wow. opening it up made it look so different. it's so androgynous at first, i juz couldn't figure how it was female until i saw it much bigger. nice work, blown away by it.
I really don't mean to be rude, however that doesn't really look like a torso of a human. It looks like someone took a photo looking down on a swine (yes a pig i.e. york,cheshire etc...). Please investigate further. Very nice tones and awesome shot, no matter what it is. However I really think it is a PIG!

Rules are for those who always follow the rules; there are no rules in photography because this isn't a game but an art! :P -Me-
