I wanted to do this series as natural as I could. This was what I was trying to explain to Melathia about using a window and the natural light. The light is not flattering...it shows up all the flaws...but it is me...take me as I am.

BTW...I have not altered my eyes in the first image. Also these are the full crops. No further cropping was done.

Here are the larger versions -

Natural 1


Natural 2


Natural 3

I like all three but the last is my favorite. In the first one your hand looks a bit soft and drags my eye there. I like the lighting very much and even all natural your are very sensual. Great work!

Splendid use of natural light. Thanks for teaching us!

If this is unflattering light, I'll take a double order, please.

On the other hand, when you start with you as the raw material, the light can't help but be flattering. :)

Nice series. I like the fluid lines of composition. The first pose is my favorite, although they're all good. :-)

You look awesome here. Just a hint of softness and sepia makes it have a nostalgic sense. My fave is Natural 1. Something about looking off into space with the terrific lighting.

Hon, I'll take all your flaws. :-) Thanks so much for the wonderful comment on mine - it's very very much appreciated.

I love this series. Very real, very lovely, and a wonderful example of the use of natural light, which I much prefer to anything manufactured. You're gorgeous just the way you are!

Very pretty, Judi. I love that they are sensual and still classic in every way. Great light.
