we all know that once seen, some things can't be unseen, and your boudoir shot definitely falls into that category. Artistic merit is low, lighting needs work, compositions are so-so, visual interest, well chat can I say, so I won't say much except that you only have about 110 pounds of adipose to get to your old definition of svelt. But, the points given for your poke in the eye of us all, your guts to do it after you even thought of it and your sense of humor all deserve top marks. In fact, you alone just might inspire a new movement amongst the group, selfie nudes, which will likely cause multiple requests for a new section, the selfie nude bun and belly section, where all shots like this would be posted and we would all be spared having to look at them in our favorite section. Thanks for the belly-laugh, I needed that, I think.

I think these photos show how good an older woman can look if she takes care of herself, she just turned 71, which I find hard to believe, but since I have known her for several years, I know it to be accurate and true.

it seemed many of you liked the photo I posted of my friend on her 71st birthday, so here's another for your viewing pleasure.

It's hard to believe, this friend turned 71 yesterday and wanted a couple of boudoir photos to remember the day by. So she called me. All I can say is that she was a pleasure to work with, she became comfortable quickly, and I was hard time staying focused. This is my first posting to this section, so please be gentle in your comments and criticism.

Hi Bob, for me the b/w looks like the building has been removed from its environment, perhaps like a good photo of a miniature building that one might see in a catalog for h/o scale model train layout and is a nice technical photo, however, the color version looks like a building that one could enter and do something useful in or interact with. It’s pleasant Environmental surroundings also gives us a clue to its size and relationship to our human scale, while the b/w does not. I also enjoyed looking at the color version longer while I lost interest in the b/w version quickly.

Yes, very worthy. Please post more!

You are brave and wise indeed as black widows in this area are known to pole vault!

Very nicely done, Harry. Hate the framing!

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.

Seeing ‘heroes’ with guns, shooting people is pornography at its worst, if you think seeing beautiful older women enjoying their bodies is obscene, you’ve missed the beauty of human intimacy and you’ve been wasting your time in church.

Wow, Rob, once again you show us what excellence is. I still wanna be you when I grow up.

Wow! Every once in a while an image is posted here that is exceptionally well done, this is one of those,

Very nice photo, one of the best that you have posted, so far!

Rob, I’ve been enjoying your images for years and this is one of your very best. I still wanna be you when I grow up. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent!

Wow! Beautiful image, artistically sound and a joy to look at!
