This is ironic. I was getting ready to take my granddaughter to the airport as she is going to Paris and London with her college choir. Got in the truck, put in in reverse, it wouldn't move. I got out to find out why and discovered both passenger side tires are flat. I live 8 miles out of town so I borrowed the neighbor's truck, bought two cans of fix-a-flat. I used up both cans on one tire and it is still flat.
I'm waiting for Enterprise to bring the rental car so we can get to the airport. Fortunately, since she has an early flight, I have a room reservation in Lubbock, so we won't miss her plane.

A couple of years ago I worked with a "model" who was also a body builder. From the outset, we didn't have the chemistry I usually develop during a shoot. She wanted to be in charge, she came with an entourage, one of whom was her weight-lifter boyfriend/bodyguard. Besides that, she wasn't pretty, had fake boobs, and obvious signs of too many steroids.
Hence, the photo. We had the advantage of having access to a swimming pool, but since she was all muscle and no fat, she couldn't float. She tried some forward dives and some back dives.

Thanks for your comments. I always look forward to your critiques, and it is true that comparing mine to Robeng's is a case of apples to oranges. As seldom as I shoot, and although this is not one of my later shoots, I do feel like I am growing.

I can't begin to rise to the level of Robeng, but in his absence, someone should post something!

I found this site through another forum and find it fascinating and addictive. I guess it's not quite infallible as it rated one of Ansel Adam's photos at 11%. Of course it rated one of mine at 1.1%.
Here's the link: https://www.dpreview.com/news/8594541449/everypixel-aesthetics-uses-neural-networks-to-judge-your-photographs
I am pleased that it rated this on at 99.5%

Old age isn't bad, and my transition into senility is going much smoother than I thought it would!

A beautiful naked girl holding a dead racoon, and he's looking at the Leatherman?

You said it was a re-post; and I did see it before... all of it... and all that was admirable... and even what was not. I was critical in the past, but this time I will simply accept it for what it is/was -- a fun photo.
So, is it a Gerber or a Leatherman?

I don't know. She brought it with her, but it was inadequate to perform the autopsy.

That comment makes me sad.

Now that my granddaughter is away at college, we are developing a great relationship. I just got a text message from her saying that she found a forum that discussed different ways to cook racoon. Without context, that wouldn't be funny. For those who don't know me, THIS is why it's funny. (I know, it's a repost.)
This is NOT my granddaughter!

I see cthahn is back and up to his usual uplifting and helpful posts. NOT!!!!
Out of over 1400 posts, he has NEVER posted a photo!
But how would we know the good people if we had no evil people to compare to?

I guess you didn't notice before the clip and paste that the article is almost a year and a half old!

Maria CAN smile, but as I edit this shoot I'm growing rather fond of the intense look she can give. So for those who didn't like the intensity, here she is.

She has an infectious smile, and I will post one of those shots later. But your question sent me on a search of other models, smiling or not. If you check the portfolios here and on Model Mayhem, very few of the nude models are smiling. I always shoot a couple of smile shots, but for some reason they always end up looking more like snapshots of a naked lady than art. I suppose most of us want to be "serious" artists, but when it comes to nudes, most of the expressions are serious.
