I just came across another very cool picture here and got to thinking that although it is nice that we can comment on others work I wish we could add comments to things we post in our favorites gallery. Since we can't do that I figured the best way may be to just pop a note in the journal. Since now is as good a time to start as any, here goes!

The first shot is posted in the gallery of RichardKnightly as "Catsuit Dive".

The color contrast is striking, the angle of the shot, flowing curves in everything from the fin to her hair makes this a striking shot in and of itself. The fact that the model is actually wearing a latex body suit while diving takes this image over the top for me in originality to say the least. An absolutely smoking shot in my opinion that is worth a second or even several more looks.

The second shot is posted in the gallery of ~BODYKOLLEkTOR as "UNTITLED 2".

The way the lighting on the models arm as well as the rope I feel draws you to the highlight of this photo which is the models expression. The emotion and mood she conveys is awesome. Too many times I feel emotions feel contrived or faked. She pulls you in with her expression and even after looking at it several times you can feel hints of several emotions and moods there. It is a rare model that can so convincingly convey feelings like this and a dam lucky and talented artist that can capture it.

While it seems a bit late to go over all my faves I think two others are well worth mentioning.

"Running Bear" by *roperookie is a big bundle of sexy and humor all wrapped in brown fur. The image is located here: [link]
*roperookie dropped me a line on this commenting on how special this image is to him and I can fully understand why!

The last one I really need to mention is "Rats in the Cellar Page 16" by *faile35 located here: [link]
Since I was speaking about capturing emotions, moods and feelings this image is by far one of the finest drawings I have ever seen accomplish this so well. You can almost feel the physical and emotional tension. The emotions she is feeling are once more conveyed through her expression. The subtle elements in this image all work together to draw you in and let you be part of that emotion and energy. I think this is one reason why I love the work of *faile35, the time he puts in to all aspects of his drawings, the story and reasons behind it as well as the emotions of the participants, are all thought out, blended together and then brought into the images he creates. A very unique artist indeed.

To others whose images I have favorited, I apologize for not giving you full reviews. Needless to say I love each of your works for each of their own reasons but for now I will let anyone who stumbles across my words here figure out those reasons on their own.
