Nude.. tribute to Edward Weston

Comment by DiscoVader:
Beautiful homage to a specific photo! Even before looking back at the reference shot the door bothered me. At first I thought it was too close; but looking at the Weston I think it's just too bright. In his shot the verticals of the model's form are not interfered with by the door. I think you only notice it on a second or closer look. You captured wonderful form with your model, but the door is in the way and detracts in my opinion. Also, if anything is sharply in focus, it seems to me that it's the grain in the center of the door panel and possibly the back of the towel trim. I think Weston would have the whole model in perfect focus.

Wow! This is sooo close to the original I actually thought this was Edward's at first. Well done (back to comment and bump)

Although the nude itself is nice, I find the towel and door distracting. (not voting)

Grrr, the best of the nudes, the lighting and processing is spot on, and you include a four panel hollow core door as a major element? you absolutely nailed that marble like skin tone that Weston got and my eye gets pulled away by raised panels and rumpled terrycloth. Oh for a better background and it would have ribboned.

I like your exposure and processing. Everything seems perfectly balanced and in harmony.

This is a tough one to emulate, since it's so famous. Your version's door is a bit heavy in the frame, I think, and is quite possibly even more contrasty than the original. But this is an impressive homage, I must say, right down to the bobby pins! Congratulations on that.

Great shot--I wish you could have done this somewhere besides a doorway though, it's kind of distracting.

i like the 'swoosh' that you created - i just with the edges were a bit sharper in focus
