Dirty ole man!

Thanks, Beamer. For those who I am sure will want to criticize and second guess:
-- The duck was there. It's her duck. I didn't put it there and didn't think I could say, "Do you mind if we take the rubber ducky off the window ledge?" without cracking up.
-- The damp panties hanging behind the lovely model was my idea.
-- The model is in her 50's...isn't that wonderful?

@ectoBiologist...would i be so bad if she looked like one of those aliens form the Aliens series?

And by the way, this shot is better with her head thrown back, but you would have had to be there (I mean in the shower with me and her) to be able to see that, wouldn't you?

Now that I think about it, it looks like a combination of her head position, lighting, and that black towel hanging off the rack to the left of the panties. They blend together in that lighting to make her head look just a tad bit unnatural.

@ectoBiologist...I see what you mean. That's not a towel, but more panties. You've just opened my eyes to a substantial improvement I can make in this photo.

Thanks for that!

Come on Ana, the duck MAKES this image, imo!!

I said it takes the MOOD away. Not the shot.
I mean..hard nipples...sexy pose..and a duck?
ha

Thanks for the fine words and all the comments. I'm going to bed now (and those of you who know the time zone I live in...I'm an early riser!).

Good night!

"I mean..hard nipples...sexy pose..and a duck?"

“It’s erotic if you’re using a feather. It’s kinky if you’re using the whole damn duck.” ;-)

Wow - Didn't even see the duck

Anne, I'm with you. These folks that are focusing on the duck and the panties, well...they just don't have blood in their veins, now do they??

OH Beamer. I saw the boobs and the droplets of water on her skin, and the curve of her neck and the light and shadows...and then.. the duck.
It's like the duck is mocking her and laughing at her. But truthfully, without the duck, the photo has less impact...and certainly less to talk about. Would we be talking this much if the duck weren't there? Just another boob shot, then. Nice boobs, but meh. Go ducky.

Am I the only one to notice:

" The model is in her 50's...isn't that wonderful?"

Damn straight that is wonderful!

Thanks again for all the kinds words.

However, the damned rubber ducky appears to have sunk this shot!

No sir, stick to your guns!! The duck makes the shot, well and the beautiful body ... and the gorgeous light ... and the great composition ... and the perfect exposure... and the spot on focus ... and those damn panties... every boy's fantasy all rolled up in one shot!!

@ Beamer...yeah, between you and me, you're right. But we're grown ups and understand the whimsy.

Also, what a great, grown up chick, to keep a rubber ducky in her shower.

And, of course, I agree wholeheartedly with your other real boy comments.

Thanks!

There ya go! Long live the ducky!

What a surprise! It took 20 ratings to get there. though.

Thanks for all the comments and, of course, the "better than average" overall rating. :>)

In her 50's. This is reminding me of some chat we had about souther california women and your ample supply and the effect or not of - well - what women do in southern california.

Yes - wonderful.

PS: I also have a rubber duck. My dog enjoys it when he has a bath and we often do so together. Yes I am weird.

King or is it King Kong? have you ever been to Rock Port Mass? You's love it. cheers

@ Richard...thanks for the kind words...and high agreement about southern California.

@ Wings...I've been to Rockport many times when I was with the Boston Ballet Company in the early 70's.

Cheers in return.

Beautiful. Not sure about the ducky, but the panties are a great touch. I kind of like the ducky, but then again, might be more dramatic withough. It does add a certain "hmmmm" factor that I appreciate, though :)

Beautiful lighting and pose. Couldn't you have let her use hot water, though? Teehee.

@kmaze...thanks for the extended comment. Maybe it's because I'm an older guy or simply like to include humor in my images, but I *like* the ducky, which was there already. I simply didn't move it out of the shot.

As for the nipples, the water was warm, but I didn't the shower to splash water on my borrowed D70, so we had it at a trickle. Her nipples tend to be like that most of the time--I think she liked being photographed.
