Legs refreshed in the sea - a photo on Flickriver

(Third in the series)
When taking art nude photos it's natural to feel that you must include some parts that are normally clothed. But often there is beauty in the forms of the normally visible parts or the uncluttered outline of the body which are brought out by the situation and lighting of taking the photo that make an interesting picture without showing any "naughty bits". There are many examples of this in my "Safe" nude album.

Here is another one taken as M was resting in the sea after a long hot climb over the rocks to get to "our" secluded cove near Wembury in Devon (UK) – I think it captures the feeling of relaxation and refreshment...

Some years ago I posted a different, more abstract, closer crop using the colour tinting I had originally printed with chemical toners.

Please see the intro to the series here
