Ah Paul, what a pleasure to peruse through your essay!
My delight is triggered by other aspects that people find looking at nudes! See how many viewers you had and no comments? Write the word 'nude" and peekers abound! But alas, you wrote also "blur" and it cuts the enthusiasm. Well, I'm just joking of course.

You might have title the essay "feelings and commotions"… it might have worked with me as well since only on second look I realize that you dealt with models and nudes. You touched a very deep cord and found on occasion some comic and tender moments also.
The essay started with a bang; the first three images give the viewer a big blow in the chest and scream: look at me, look at me, this is life and then comes "Laura" and we get a little chill….

Beautiful work - not a single image is gratuitous and this qualification when applied to a topic like "nudes" especially is what to strive for.

Fantastic shot Paul. Yet another of your photographs that is convincing me to dip a toe into Leica.
