ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. aces across. an unmistakable style of lighting King. If this in not King, my apologies, but the lighting is very distinctive. The curve of her neck and the highlight of the neck through her hair is just stunning. Wonderful tones and I especially like the translucent glass below adding texture to the image.

She seems to have a snotty expression, but I guess with a body like that she would!

King said 711 days ago:

Thanks, pursang. What a relief that I gave your smoke shot straight fives.

Only the second nude posted. I'm surprised. Mine isn't nearly so pornographic as Vernon's, IMHO.

She wasn't being snotty. It's just the pose I put her in, lifting her face to the light. What I like about this photo is that the curved shape of her earring is repeated in the highlight along the left side of her body (her left).

Love the added touch of the earrings as it accentuates the models lovely *ahem* neck.

King said 711 days ago:

By the way, there's a story to go with this image.

The model was my makeup artist. The set was built for a client who didn't have a such a great body (hence the shower glass), but wanted to give a sensuous body shot to her boyfriend . After the shoot, my makeup artist said, "I like this...mind if I get in the set?" What could I say? No? Life's little graces.

You can see this image hanging on the wall in another of my featured images

Oh, and she jumped into that set, too. She just liked to have her picture taken in nice sets.

Very beautiful. The cotre-posto position of the model works very well for the theme - it could be exaggerated even more for higher impact. Also, the textured glass works very nicely, I'd be tempted to say I'd like to see the model completely obscured behind it, as I think that would further enhance the 'curves' though you risk losing that contrast.

Very nice curves. I think we've had too many breasts pictures for the last couple of assignments... Hey, I'm not complaining about it..

King said 711 days ago:

@ray
I promise no breasts in my next posting, or the one after that. I think, however, that these are the only breasts I've ever posted to WS. I get one (i.e., one photo), don't I?

Ana said 711 days ago:

what's she sniffing? very curvy, but her pose is odd. i like the lack of colour.

mitchh said 711 days ago:

I find the white cresent on her neck very distracting. Otherwise a strong composition.

dcreighton said 711 days ago:

Super curves and a sexy image too!

kadenajack said 711 days ago:

If you're going to do a nude for the curves theme, then go all out. When you put her behind the shower door, it totally ruins the curves you're trying to showcase. These curves look like they're in the witness protection program.

King said 711 days ago:

@Blizzard, who said, "what's the special occasion, a bridal shower?" You're a riot. And I don't think this one is going to get featured. Relevance and Impact scores are too low.

@kadenajack...you're funny, too. I shot this 25 years before the Curves theme was posted...no going back.

Thanks, all, for your comments.

psychodudu said 711 days ago:

Curves....you daaaaamn right! This is a wonderful, sensual image, latent woman-power vibe also comes off this.

JIMJIM said 711 days ago:

High ratings >> Nice, plus I really like the (almost masked:) sense of humour..

faustina said 711 days ago:

I love it, the use of the textured glass is perfect.

JIMJIM said 711 days ago:

haha , I was sure it was you (ironic Curves ;-))..I really like the way she poses and the lightning !! That's called "Style"..

King said 711 days ago:

@kadenajack (again)...aren't there plenty of curves above the shower glass? or were you just making a joke about breasts?

@psychodudu, JIMJIM and faustina...thanks very much. Your recent high ratings are giving this image a chance (perhaps a slight chance) to get featured. Of course, thanks also to everyone else for their high ratings. There just weren't enough at 13 ratings to get there, but with 20 ratings, it's getting closer.

JIMJIM said 711 days ago:

Curves ;-))))

memorymotel said 711 days ago:

Reminds me of Marilyn Monroe! What a stunner.

Ana said 711 days ago:

There are boobs in my photos too. They're just not as noticeable. ;)

pursang said 711 days ago:

King's a boobaholic! Congratulations on a find shot.

kadenajack said 711 days ago:

Don't get me wrong King, I like the shot. I think you handled it very well, and of course I didn't know it was shot 25 years ago. My perverted mind just wanted her to step out of the shower. I'll slap myself so none of the ladies here will have to do it.

Maybe you can get her to pose again. I wonder if all those curves are still in the same place.

philippe said 710 days ago:

I'm late on this one because I'm not home (vacations!!!), and I'm surprised it was not immediately featured. Well, indeed, the earrings are distracting... ;O)
Sexy, classy and timeless.

King said 710 days ago:

@philippe
At my age, the earring (there's only one) is my favorite part.
Thanks for the kind words.
