And a special one for New Year for this blog, too, of course.
I'll leave it up to you to find a 'deeper meaning'...
:-))

Happy New Year!
May there be much love and warmth in your lives!

Hello Robert!
I still love you, too, my friend!
And your work!
You just keep amazing me with your wonderful photos and Artworks.
Happy New Year, with a lot of erotic pleasures I hope!
Big warm XXX!

temporal rooms said...

yes there are always erotics around these days. i am blessed.

Nadja said...

I'm really happy to hear that, Robert.
Especially since you live in this country with such long, hard and cold winters!
:-))

Happy New Year here also.

I think I would enjoy exploring the deeper meaning. 8-)

But maybe I'll go with - 6th century BC Proverbs of Ahiqar: 'a sparrow in thy hand is better than a thousand sparrows flying

I really like it.....except for the tree. Not the fact the tree is there; but the fact it runs over the hand. I feel it would be a stronger image if the trunk was blended into the left side disappearing at or just before getting to the hand. To me now it just looks like it was stuck on. My eye stops there; It wants to go up the tree instead of continuing on into the beautiful valley.

Haha... Very funny D.L. Wood!
I'm still exploring the deeper meaning myself.
Even as a 47 year old, I have to admit I didn't know my own body as good as I always thought!
And I'm afraid this goes for many women.
It's a shame, really.
We use that saying in Dutch, too.
I think it's a healthy way to think.
:-))
As usual with my layers photos:
I use both images as I made them.
No cropping or anything.
I do that to set some limitations.
Otherwise I could be cutting and pasting until eternity, too much possibilities!
And I love the 'magic' that happens by just combining two original photos.
And... I'm not scared some eyes might get stuck.
I think they will reach the valley anyway!
Haha...
But I can see what you mean of course.
Thank you very much, D.L.!
For the compliment, and for always making me smile!
And much luck and happiness, and creativity, in the new year!
Big warm XXX!

It won't be for anytime soon, Leviolondingres.
I have the flu and already had to postpone some other shoot.
I'm out of battle for a while.
But, glad to hear you think so!
I'll do my best to recover soon.
And to stay warm in this cold- wave we have...
:-))
XXX!

unbearable lightness said...

This is Art. As you know, I am not fully comfortable with many of the crotch shots I've seen on sites like deviantART, shot by men. This series is gorgeous. Your model appears to be naturally posed and oblivious to the camera. We are voyeurs, yes, but only to moments that are natural and pure. These are Classics. I don't know how else to respond except to say they are tasteful and honest.

Nadja said...

You say series, so I suppose you are referring to the last series of self portraits on the blog as well, not just this 'close up' which is only one photo from another series.
I am really glad to hear this from a woman!
Because it's not my intention to make photos for men only. My (future) models must like them, too, and I hope other women as well. I think the days that only men were interested in erotic art (or even porn) are far gone. Even when for women it's still more a taboo to admit they like to look at such things.
Of course, I am a woman myself, but not a typical one I'm afraid, so I'm not always so sure if other women like the same things I do.
:-))
And being so inexperienced at this, I am still trying to find out how far I want to go with this kind of photography, and how to do it in a stylish way.
And I surely hope, being a female photographer, that somehow I shall be able distinguish from typical male erotic photography.
So, thank you very, very much, Unbearable Lightness!
I appreciate your opinion a lot.
Warm XXX

Nadja said...

Ik moet helemaal niks, Luc!
Ik kan niet tegen mannen die mij vertellen wat ik moet doen.
Dat werkt tegenovergesteld bij mij.

Op dit moment heb ik zin om al je commentaren redelijk giftig te beantwoorden, helaas kan ik sommige van je commentaren niet terug vinden omdat Blogger zijn systeem om mensen op de hoogte te brengen van commentaren gewijzigd heeft waardoor ik niet kan zien welke foto een commentaar kreeg zoals ik ze vroeger plaatste, zonder 'titel'.

Maar toch bedankt, denk ik.
Al ben ik nu behoorlijk pissed off van verschillende van je commentaren.

ik vind het een schitterende foto en zou zoiets graag eens proberen. :)

Nadja said...

Ook hier weer: No problem, Joyca Dee!
Zei de dappere kleine fotograaf zonder veel ervaring...
:-))

Spannende en opwindende dame ben je, geweldig!
Misschien raak ik uiteindelijk toch nog aan ervaring met meer erotische shoots dan.
Cool! Of, nee... Hot!
Of, nee, cool and hot at the same time!
:-))
See you!
XXX!
