beautiful sword ! lol!,10 here!
03/02/2004 05:29:02 PM
Nasty looking bayonet there.
03/01/2004 08:08:23 PM
Interesting shot. Nice composition and choice of color.

An interesting shot, not sure about the conflict really involved, it doesn't show on her face and honestly, did she need to be nude? I think this would be much better with her in a halter type top, the nudity ends up distracting from this shot to me. And before you think I don't like nudes, I do, if done tastefully as this one was but not always needed. A 5

Nice... earrings yea that's it... earrings
02/29/2004 08:46:01 PM
Beautiful photo but a little too static and posed.
02/29/2004 06:22:53 PM
silicone?
02/29/2004 06:09:39 PM
Very beautiful.

You look like you should be killing other people not yourself that is unless you lost the battle and you therefore need to kill yourself instead of suffering the defeat. Nice breasts implants byt he way. You paid way to much for them to die now get some wear out of them.
02/29/2004 10:42:41 AM
Pointless nudity + pointed sword = whats the point?
02/28/2004 09:04:49 PM
Those are absolutely amazing breasts. She is gorgeous!
02/28/2004 05:14:27 PM
You know that is really gona hurt. What is a good looking woman doing thinking such thoughts. I find it hard to believe. The photo itself is very well done. Nicely composed.
02/27/2004 06:52:18 PM
Not that I mind. . . but do you have to be nude to commit Hari Kari (sp?)? In fact, doesn't it call for a ritualistic dress code?! I certainly hope she didn't go through with it though!!! :-)
02/27/2004 04:06:40 PM
she needs to be spanked on the bottom... yep a nice crack on the ol' arse
02/27/2004 01:07:40 PM
I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. I find it intriquing though. It looks like one of those things connecting barriers on movie lines coming out of her bellybutton. The nipples at different levels really bothers me. She has a beautifully robust rear that is juicy and thought provoking. 8

I see the conflict by the sword, but her body and expression don't say anything to this affect to me, and the hair piece isn't flattering [I know, that's nit picking, but it stands out to me]. The lighting I do like alot and the BNW. 5.
02/27/2004 08:17:23 AM
Yowza! I hope she didn't follow through with it! :)
02/27/2004 02:52:03 AM
Exceptional. Love the lighting, excellent pose, stunning model, meets challenge well. 10.
02/26/2004 10:42:03 PM
Would have loved it a lot more if it was an attacking pose rather than a ....
Nice fit model though
02/26/2004 09:01:44 PM
this looks very posed and unreal: her expression and the sword not to mention her breasts
02/26/2004 06:27:44 PM
Oh I can hear the complaints about this already. Nice shot though, beautiful! 8
02/26/2004 11:06:22 AM
Nice use of gratuitous nudity.
02/26/2004 09:31:57 AM
she is sexy as heck, nice pic :)
02/26/2004 07:05:41 AM
I can imagine her saying..."Is this how you want me to hold it?" The technical aspects of the studio shot are very good, the physical appearance of the modle is very nice, yet it looks too contrived for me to imagine as conflict.
02/26/2004 06:28:28 AM
very good picture, the backdrop is perfect, as is the lighting.
02/26/2004 06:15:59 AM
Life is hard, but also pert :o)
I'm not sure why she had to be naked ( I'm all for nudes - I entered one myself once) and am confused about what the nudity adds to the message?
02/26/2004 03:31:50 AM
The photograph itself is very nice...the nudity is not over-emphasized, and I like the B/W choice. It just doesn't say "conflict" to me, however.
02/25/2004 07:21:58 PM
just useless nudity...come on now
02/25/2004 06:02:15 PM
.....and so is her body. Different but I have to admit I like this. It's attractive in a weird way. Japanese Sepuku?
02/25/2004 01:21:54 PM
Not sure what you were going for here...it seems you wanted to photo a topless woman and thats about it...not too sure the purpose in this photo at all....oh well thats life
02/25/2004 10:47:07 AM
Doesn't really say conflict to me, but an excellent image.
02/25/2004 10:20:37 AM
This definately shows conflict, and by the way... beautiful model :)
02/25/2004 05:07:59 AM
...and so am I.
02/25/2004 04:59:58 AM
no confilct in here, but nice boobs are guaranteed...
02/25/2004 02:53:40 AM
Very dramatic, good use of B & W, perhaps a little posed, nice tones.
02/24/2004 11:18:33 PM
Hehe. I see nipple
02/24/2004 10:10:03 PM
Hey I'm all for gratuitous nudity, but I don't get what you are trying to say with this shot. Nice focus, great B/W treatment (in fact I would love to see the color version so I see how you got from one to another) but I don't get it. Why does she have a sword growing out of her navel? Or is she trying to cut off that shiny growth? Or is she trying to give herself another piercing.... I'm confused....

The face expression could have been more dramatic. Good shot overall (8)
02/24/2004 08:07:09 PM
I don't normally like this subject matter but the details are sharp and nicely executed.
02/24/2004 07:56:59 PM
what a beautiful body..err....shot :) nice focus, good composition....
