Many of you, my beloved fellow hedgehogs, need to broaden your understanding and appreciation of feminine beauty. Rueben’s was showing us his interpretation of feminine beauty in his era. A copy of someone else’s style or work is still a copy and has little merit other than technical accomplishment. Gee, this looks just like . . . (Insert name of any artist) is not something I ever hope to hear about my own poor attempts at creating art, and whether somebody else likes it, or not, or their ‘cupa tea’ is irrelevant as an artistic measure.

Very beautiful lady... Do you have any others?

My friend, the term "full figured" indicates the figure is indeed full and the correct size. I like a girl with curves. Too thin and they beat you to death in the sack. This lady si comfortable with who she is and how she is. That's sexy

Total agreement. Soft, cuddly, appreciative, seductive

So I feel compelled to answer this, as the "cuppa tea" reference seems to have something in common with my previous post. I was brought up to always do my best to be honest and truthful, and that's stuck with me my whole life. Obviously sometimes that can come across as mean, which I try to avoid with a careful choice of words. I started that post with "nicely captured" (or something similar) which was a truthful statement. "not my cuppa tea" is also a truthful statement, and I purposely used that phrase because it accurately reflects my likes /dislikes, without, "in my opinion", being unnecessary mean, and some might even find a little humor in the words, and, I was not attempting to measure anything artistically. You made mention that I "need to broaden your understanding". My understanding is already quite broad enough, but thank you for attempting to further educate me. We all have our own ideas as to what is appealing to us personally and thankfully we are not all the same. So in your opinion, should I start lying about how I feel? Or perhaps I should be censored and say nothing? Classical Greek statues more often than not depict women with "fuller figures", and again, not "my" cuppa tea, and yet the undeniable artistry and beauty has stood the test of time, and is appreciated, even by someone such as myself. You know what? I don't like green cars either, I wouldn't buy one. Is there anything wrong with green cars? No. Is there anything wrong with green car drivers? No. They just ain't my cuppa tea getting back to the original subject, the young lady pictured is very pretty, and as I said in the first place, the photographer captured her very nicely. Well I'm off to get a nice cup of coffee, (after all that being said, I "truthfully" don't like tea), never have, probably never will! And I honestly hope you have a great day/evening, and enjoy the fast approaching weekend.
Ray.

Its a photography page, I dont care if she is BBW or all skin and bones.
I look at the colors, the pose, the lighting, On this one I would like to see a bit of the glare on her face and butt toned down a bit .
I think she is a Very attractive lady .

When you say "glare", are you referring to the specular highlights on her check areas? Is this something you would strive to eliminate in the initial shoot or manipulate in post editing. Would you tone down or eliminate?

i NEVER see it when im shooting but always see it later on in post . So I would do it in post. to me it pulls my eye away from her eye . Of course thats just me. and I still think she's attractive.

Great work. I have an acquaintance that is running a fairly thriving boudoir photography studio and many of his woman are over 30 and "zaftig". They or their partners want this type of photo and are willing to pay for it. They also like to see other women their size in the photographer's portfolio proving that he's capable of making them look good.

I really like this image. For me it's the expression on her face and eyes. That makes the photo happen. I have a few quibbles about the position of her body relative to the frame, but otherwise a fine example of doing full figured photographs.
