My fav. of your shoots. Love it!

A refreshing, creative angle of view and wonderfuly lit; a great total composition. It was a pleasure to see this image. Bob

I really love your photographs. Your nudes and flowers have very special atmosphere, I like very much their softeness, unsharpeness and warm tone of the pictures. It remindes me on old photos. I think it is very difficult to make in our times a good nude photo, because a lot of different views on womans body was already many times done. But you succeeded to create a very good one, a picture with his own soul.
P.S. if I may ask you, do you use for this soft look any filter or just unsharpeness? And for the warm tone, do you use any toner?

Thanks for the great feedback! This shot was taken with one 1000w hot light. The softness was created by diffusion under the enlarger (a piece of perforated bread bag, the type used for crusty breads). It was printed on Agfa classic fiber (which is a slightly warm paper) then toned in selenium, which warms it a bit more. I'm gonna miss Agfa paper!

That's beautiful!
