"The female nude – magical, erotic, aesthetic – has been modeled and painted since prehistory. Appearing rarely and awkwardly in the earliest art, she attained fulfillment and glory in ancient Greece. In their idealized treatment of the nude, The Greeks established a standard that only the asceticism of the Middle Ages ignored. The artists of the Renaissance and their successors of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries revived the nude, and by the 1930’s she was again a conventional form. It was inevitable that she should become a favorite subject of photography."

A sensual and suggestive shot. Good use of light.
May I aske for a lemon juce ?

A masterpiece Romina. The overexposed scenery makes it unrealistic, untouchable, but yet dreamy.
Wish I could know the models thoughts. Amazing work.
salutos from espana :)
wow, intriguing
;o) Excellent ! Love the pause, the light, and the lemon smile of the legs :)))) Terrific*
This shots technique is extraordinary Romina. Are you even aware of that?! You are getting better with every image you post.
awesome composition with the high ke effect. thanks for visiting my site!
Very creative, and I really like the result
great use of light and focus.
we also like your description or the ingress from the book. Puts it in perspective!
Great work with this, think we have to try that technique.. !
You really master your shutter and aperture here. Love your use of highlights and the vignette it creates around your motif. Wonderful foot dance with the lemon. The yellow and the highlights fit like a glowe.
Great work!
What a neat idea. Leaves so much to the imagination.
Very artsy image.
excelente composición! una captura con mucho arte el detalle del limon muy bueno,saludos.
Love the blown out background with the touch of yellow. Very cool and creative!
Good job with exposure and pose. Very provocative. The lemon is standing on its end.

"I like your innovation and creative way of showing this person. Love the foot position on the fruit. A super shot."
Thank you Don
Great title in combination with this sensual high key photo. Very well captured!
It is not necessary that the woman is the goods, as many photographer to take the woman as business...
una edición en clave alta muy bella, un resultado sensual :)
Very interesting the superexposition on top, is really a great, suggesting nude, very well done!
I don't know what it is i like more... the title or the photo? Both great :))

Art with a capital "A"! Just perfect! Very sensual and still very clean.
That's quite a list. I'll be working at several of these!
The street shot of the young lady is has a wonderful spontaneous feel that makes it a clear winner. Well done.
I like this one ; very good work, but too much white on the top for me.
