Of course she would approve--it's 2 testicles with warts (better get them checked out) underneath their "junk" as they now say, but that's hidden because the gentleman's stomach is so large and he has his skinny arms raised up saying "Glory to heaven, look at my prized possessions!"
You have a beautiful and playful wife. I can say this because I'm a woman.

I think it's great. It elicited happiness and surprise within me. I like it when a photo or painting brings up emotions. Keep it up!

Nothing like being in the right place at the right time with your camera! Really interesting.
Please stop it. Take a breath and then move on.
Another thought--have you seen the youtube video about shooting faces? I forget who does it, but it's really fascinating. He says to get your subject to stick their head out and lean their forehead towards the camera and that erases any double chin if you're shooting straight on.
I don't know anything about anything...but I see too much upper body. My focus is drawn to his massive shoulders and arms, rather than to his face. I also don't like the placement of his hands, again my attention is drawn to them; just like Melania's official portrait--all I see is her 24 carat diamond. But your lighting seems to be good. I would say to get your subjects to relax more and capture them in more natural poses. It's one thing to take a picture of someone, and something else to be able to capture their essence. You're definitely on the right tract..keep posting!
I've seen water reflections, but not as vibrant as these. Did you do anything special to enhance them? It's almost like 2 paintings--1 traditional; 1 abstract. Great capture--good eye! And I love that the division slants down, not as a solid straight line dividing the 2. I actually keep looking at the bottom half more, thinking hhhhhhhhhmmmmmm that would go lovely over my sofa (if I had a sofa). Keep it up, my friend.

#3--are those the button mushrooms found in the grocery store that are edible?
I'm scrolling down, reading the comments, mildly interested while drinking my tea, only to see the comments get ugly. Why?
You have captured this so beautifully, I want to go there myself.
....and then God created woman........only to have her be used as a toothbrush. Oh well, we're used to cleaning up messes, and love our men anyway!
So twice a day you get to hold a nude woman in the palm of your hand.
I can remember going into a drug store (or 5 & dime) and seeing white sheets spread out over the merchandise, covering those items we were not allowed to purchase on Sunday. And Pennsylvania, to this day, still has its antiquated state controlled liquor stores manned by surly state employees who can't be fired. It's a real pleasure buying a bottle of wine from them.
How cool! The water part looks like a Matisse or Renoir.
Now you've done it...you've got me crying. I lost my husband very unexpectedly a year ago and keep adding up how many possible years I have left before I can be with him again. The daily problems and financial hits keep coming, sometimes just too much for my "little shoulders to carry" as my sister puts it. Not that I can ever picture being with someone else, I love your photo (bible included) and the caption anyway. I'm glad you found a second life after whatever happened to you.
