A Woman of a Certain Ageby
Bear_MusicComment: OK, guess I'll be the one to step out on a limb here and be honest.
Yes, this is reality, and yes, kudos for the guts to depict what women face as time progresses.
With that said, I know a statement is being made here, and is not the subject of my opinion. I don't particulary find this shot appealing, from an artistic or photogrpahic standpoint. The sheet, while it may be covering up a C-section scar or whatever, is distracting and out of place in my opinion. Almost looks like a medical exam pose in a doctor's office or similar. No emotive pose, just expose 'em and sit.
There are many ways to be creative, and though I don't know the comfort level of your model, I do believe you could have done this much better.
As it is, I don't find this an appealing photograph.
Sorry - not gonna' stroke your ego here Robt.
Just my honest opinion, nothing else.
