Hi Glen, I don't like it. The pose looks forced and unnatural. The
Photoshop work, as good as it may be, makes the whole thing look grotesque,
unpleasant. However, I like the idea that you're pushing the envelope.
Whatever you do, don't let negative comments stop you from experimenting
and exploring.
Thanks Shel, for the encouragement. I truly appreciate it. Like I told
someone else earlier, I only ask that people comment honestly on my work,
whether they like it or not.
I happen to like the image, but I don't see a girl when I see the image. I
see form, colors, and texture. Of course, I'm aware that it was derived
from a girl's legs, but the girl herself isn't what my mind concentrates on
when I see this image. Perhaps that is why I like it and some others don't?
I suspect that some of them only want to see the sexy girl?
For those that do, you can take a look here:

These were taken at a beauty pageant Lisa participated in. There was no
Photoshop work done on these. This is what Lisa actually looks like. I
imagine that many of you will be relieved to know that her skin is in
flawless condition. ;)
I'm interested to know whether people prefer these candid images, or the
artistic images I first posted? Also, please tell me why you prefer the one
you do.
Thanks so much everyone,
Glen
