I think it's very creative and a wonderful inside joke from one partner to the other.
The color one has more interest for me.. definitely do not trash it.

Thank you... and you're right!
The rest of the series turned out fantastic for a first go 'round... she's tickled pink and is a lot like me in that she doesn't like her photo taken nor how she looks in them.

She said I made her feel very comfortable, we had SUCH fun with it that the time flew by and she wants MORE! *beams*

This shot was for fun and she was hoping I could save it somehow.

Wow!
Now this I am surprised to hear... thanks very much for chiming in :)

(I thought sure you'd say the B&W one... *snickers* which is why I am not a betting girl! )

I just completed my first boudoir/glamour shoot for a friend who will be presenting a photo book to her fiancee' as a Christmas present.

I had a creative pose in mind that did not pan out very well... but JUST got an idea which I thought might be the saving grace for it.

Although I have not done any retouching to these yet... except the creative treatment; Please tell me which you prefer:

Knowing the couple concerned and it being an assignment to please her fiancee, this will really do the trick.

If you were taking it not for profit, it probably would not have been taken in the first place..For the use it was intended the recipient will be overjoyed.

Original?
B&W creative shot?
Or
Toss completely?

And why?

I've taken another peek at this one and although I like the idea the main problems are (as I see them!)
1) The angle makes her legs and thighs look chubby!
2) The sexy Red panties (thats why color is best BTW) are almost disappearing up her butt!
Have a another go, maybe putting candy on her tummy and showing a hint of lingerie? She's be face up of course!

I do like the b&w one but I'd like to see her red panties in that one just desaturated a bit ... after all the candy is leading your eye right there lol.

Hello tilde,
These kind of photos tend to turn a lot of people off here. About 50 percent of my actual non-composite work is vintage fashion (with some being more of the risqué stuff, but rarely nude). And for anyone that knows me, I am as far from prude as it gets. I did take a look at some of the other pics you have posted here, and it REALLY pains me to put in a vote for trash when you dont have to. You could turn this into something with a very desirable impact, but my inner workflow tells me that you have a lot of work ahead to get to that point with this shot.
That being said, I do composite for a living, and if you are willing to put some work into it, PM me and I'll be happy to offer up steps and advice.

*SIDE NOTE: The only reason I am requesting PM is due to the rare "family" nature of this site. For me, it's nice to see quality, and even take. Break from industry to share and enjoy in the extremely humbling talent I see everyday here. So in an effort to help you with this shot ( and maybe save never-ending threads discussing the appropriateness, I'm more than happy to offer some advice. And I would allow you to choose to forward the advice to anyone else who would care to know, or maybe provide a link to an alternative posting site here instead of doing it on UHh.
Let me know, and I'll be happy to help.

Tilde, I'm not sure how I think about the concept of the photos and I'm about as far away from being a prude as O'bama is from Palin. However, that's not what you asked...my vote would be for the color photo as the red panties (and you know about red undergarments) invoke some erotica. Don't trash either...you liked them...your friend liked them...that's what counts!

My first reaction was, she's peed out a bunch of candy! I like the color version best but I'll have to admit, it wasn't what I expected a boudoir photo to be. Keep trying! I know you can do it!! :)

I like it. :thumbup: I think I prefer the color version a little more. I don't agree about the photo quality comments. I don't prescribe to the idea that every image needs to be "perfect" in order to be a great shot. Thanks for sharing.
