Comment by bucket:
you create more intrigue with your portraits than most people do with complex arrangements...
wonderful skill, to see the human form as expressive and interesting than simply a pretty object than attracts interest...

Congrats Laurent. This is a wonderful portrait.
I wish I could have Romy as my model. I do appreciate athletic bodies with the ability to create strange positions. Congrats for the beautiful model too. Romy, you are amazing!

All I gotta say is congrats Laurent and shame on those people who are rude and incosiderate enough to comment on peoples appearances in dpc challenge entries.

I don´t know about Laurent´s models or other peoples models but mine DO read the comments after challenges are over and reading stuff about how people think you are anorexic or gross would definately make me second guess if I wanted to pose for another DPC challenge entry. It´s not a question of having thick skin or not, comments like that are just rude and if I were the model, I just would not bother with it again. What the heck has a models appearance got to do with anything anyway and how can commenting on their appearance ever be considered constructive and insightful, I mean what the heck is the photographer supposed to do? How are comments like that helping the photographer, model or this site? Would you say something like that to a persons face?

Blah, I am so pissed off on Laurents behalf but won´t say anything more, crawling back under my rock now...

Comment by rugman1969:
First off, I didn't call a lot of people fat asses. Second, I said only 1 person was anorexic. The person who posted this said he did not care how it scored, which is obviously untrue. I am only saying that if you can't take criticism, don't post anymore. And if she's not anorexic, well shame on me for sayiny it. But shame on you for calling me and others fat asses, when most of us are probably skinnier than you. Enjoy your 1st place ribbon and handle it like a professional. And finally, I was not looking for a free nude pic, Toyan is the one who brought this up, I was just referencing my comment to his. Congrats on your ribbon, and good luck in the future.

If you can't handle the heat, stay out of the fire.
