Congrats to your model, not only is the expression on his face great but the body language in general is one of fear... I do have to admit that, to me, the title seems more to represent paranoia - but none the less, great choice in pp, love the b&w and think you have presented us with a shot that is not the norm but meets the challenge well ... excellent!

Sensual

Comment:
OK, first I want to state that I really like this shot... but the feet are not real so I am having a battle with my perception over who would find the stiff feet of a manikin sensual.... Which makes me like this shot all the more of course ... well photographed, fits the challenge and love the post processing.

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.

I left this guy to the last to vote/comment on ....... your title and the expression on your model makes me think ....... and the thoughts do not bring me any pleasure but still and all, you did an excellent job of photographing your subject ... you gave an expression to your subject that is ambiguous and you made me come back 4 time just to look and interpret ... thank you... well photographed, well pp and meets the challenge perfectly

As I look through your portfolio I see so many precious animals who trust us no matter what ... I have 3 feral cats and a tiny rescue dog that I don't know what I would do without ... even though I am allergic (grin) and this photo you so aptly named trust sums it all up - what a beautiful shot suemack - good on you girl!

White flowers

I first gave you a 7 for this photo ...... I would like to see even more definition in the flowers ... I feel that this photo has hidden treasures/treats/beauty almost rendered invisable with your processing... this photo has the potential to be Zen ........ to be Peace ... to be so much more than what you have offerred. Coming back to revisit this photo and revise my opinion .. I am upping the score to an 8 and want to add that individual monitors make a huge difference and what looks washed out to me might be spot on to you.
