I can't believe I actually put this up here. I'm losing my mind but I figure, "I got nothing to lose." If there is any chance this is going to be asked for validation I will die from embarassment because to get this shot even close to the other one I didn't have the luxury of the panties, so the original has nudity in it, be warned!
Anyway, as you can tell, it's a parody of the red ribbon winner in the Defining Feature Challenge.
I laid across a chair and already set up the camera. I reached over, took three shots and called it a night. This is a HUGE leap for me, to show off any part of my body that is normally covered to anyone but my husband.
I cropped, used the green layer through the channel mixer, adjusted the levels, added a layer with soft light, burned the areas that were still showing things they shouldn't have, adjusted the black points and added a black border.
Please don't be mad at me smokeditor, your wife has a beautiful stomach and she works hard at it, while mine, weeeeeeellllll, you can see for yourself, frightening, isn't it?

I understand the parody, and I am a heavy person myself...but this is just not a pleasant photo for me to look at. I think it could have been a parody, but still done more artistically and with a little more thought.
Honest, slightly brutal, impeccable, absolutely inspired, and very very beautiful photography. A marvellous, marvellous image. Awesome. The first outright ten i've given in bloody ages. +fav immediately. Rocks.
