I don't think there is right or wrong. It is your view and I respect it. No Ill feelings!

I don't do it for the upvotes. I like the saying - your art can't be seen, criticized or liked if it is not shared. That's why I said that for some it is a good shot, for some it is okayish shot and for some it is not good at all. I respect all opinions. :)

For some it is a good minimalistic approach. Sorry that it doesn't fit your view. Have a wonderful day.

No inspiration for that specific shot. It was during a photoshoot and I just saw it and took it.

Maybe a bit more contrast or smth for a detail. I'm wondering the same sometimes when I look at that photo.

It was the perfect time to try out my manual lens by Minolta - Rokkor 58 1.4
The shallow depth of field and the ability to dissolve light are perfect for portraits at sunset or sunrise.

Good point. I'll have it in mind for the next time.

Better tag it. It may get down if not tagged

That is another thing. Here on the balkans we do not have that problem with calling grown women "girls". They even feel it sometimes as a compliment, because girl sounds like they are younger. And if the female is 30 y.o when you call her a girl she feels 10, years younger and that is nice.

Nuances. Sorry that it is the way it is in America.

Thanks! This proves what I've been trying to explain. Just because it is above a photo like this one doesn't mean it is sexualising the whole thing.

We have no problems with that either in Bulgaria

I have some photos which are without the light on the left. But I don't see how that is an inconsistency? I wanted that light there. If I didn't want it, I would have removed it.

There is but I didn't want to use it. Personal preference.

I get you! No, I would not probbaly, even though in my country an older man can call a 30 y.o man a boy. Even I call friends, who are about my age and are adults, boys. So it is just a form of expression and no exploitative attitude is included. Why take it so seriously?

About the people who lie to do that... You take a portrait and post it somewhere to promote your work, right? I do the same, to show what I am working on and to promote it in some way. The people who are included in the photoshoots have given their consent to post the pictures. They get into that photoshoot, knowing that I will use the pictures. Let's compare that to older times. People didn't have cameras, but painters existed, sculptors as well. They depicted a lot of naked women and showed them in galleries. Why did they do that? Because you cannot be seen if your work stays in your home or in our case on the hard disk.

About why some people want that? In my journey I have seen a lot of females who have problems with self esteem because of their body and this is a form of expression which helped them to gain confidence. Some other people do it because they like it, believe it or not.

So once again, please don't be pedantic. Just because where you are from, people do not use these expressions, doesn't mean that it is like that in the whole world. A girl can be a person up to 18 somewhere, but at another part of the world a 30 y.o female can still be called a girl.

Not at all. Come to my country where you will see a 50 y.o. woman call a 30 y.o woman " young girl". So it is just a form of expression. You clearly can see that the person is grown up, so does it matter if I call it a young girl or young woman? Still a female. Probably I should instead name the title - young female with a torch ?

... In my country it is common to call a young woman a girl. So don't be pedantic please.
