From a series out of the studio
I like the illustrative and abstract qualities of it- the negative and positive spaces. I might go in and smooth out any blemishes and extra creases other than the most obvious. I think the PP enhances them more than they need to/ Can you get more left arm?
I like this bit it has a little too much paper-white for me!

Afraid not body toning all wrong for me and to much white
Great abstract composition.
TOO MUCH WHITE COMPLAINTS: OK, sometimes people hop in circles one foot nailed to the floor shouting "over exposed, skin is burnout .. .aaaagah" George, try using a blue blaze and see if it quiets them down? Say the word ABSTRACT as loud as you can.....
Get together with Sharp Shooter and blend with his Abstract Flowers... would be great collaborative overlay
Maybe tone the white down a bit to be more grayish
A professional photographer told me once that a models's hair or clothing should not blend in exactly with the background. The high-key look is great but I think there needed to be a little bit of contrast between her left side and the window light.
I happen to think there can be no complaint regarding this presentation. It is meant to be exactly what it is. Abstract is a great way to describe it. There need be no changes, despite what some hack ‘professional photographer’ says is the rule. Don’t get lost in the book of rules. The rules are meant to be a guide for the unimaginative. Look at this photo and you know exactly what you’re looking at. That’s all that is necessary for a successful presentation.
Like it or lump it.
Ya, I’m going through the catalogue to try to ignite some interesting repartee. Who wants to play along?

I hope you will be selective in what you bring back to the fore. There are many images that probably don't merit much serious critique, and several that should stay buried.
I agree. I don’t find a lot, but there are some that I like but was too late to the game to get in on. Maybe by bringing selected oldies back to get some more play time, others will join in and the staleness of late will ebb just a bit???
