All comments good or bad welcome, i want to get better so feel free to be as critical as you like.
There isn't an image. Some type of error message from Imageshack.

it seems it was removed due to nudity...
Anyways I was able to view it before it was deleted, so I'll critique it as best as my untrained eye can!
I think the lighting is beautiful and mission accomplished. I don't know if others will find the nudity offensive (personally I don't think it's worth worrying over) but anyways I think you have successfully learned some diffused light techniques. Sorry I can't provide a more indepth criticism; strobism isn't really my cup of tea.

Another imageshack user probably reported it...
Just as a note, we're not allowed to post nudity. If you really want a critique on an image that has nudity in it, I suppose you could link to it but only after a warning as to its content.
thanks for the headsup sean, i didnt really think it was offensive or anything, it was a nicely shot portrait of my gf with her hands fully covering her breasts, hair falling over it too and down the cleavage .

My guess is that you didn't do anything wrong, but other people might think differently. And when there is only the smallest idea, they pick the safe-side and put it off-line.
Can I ask you what your girlfriend thinks about you putting her "clothe-less" (I won't call it nudity [:P]) picture online? Just out of curiosity..?

As Sean said, I guess you could post warned links to images that might be at the edge. If you think it isn't nudity, doesn't mean other people have different thoughts about it, always approach by the safe-way. But as a general rule nudity on this forum isn't allowed.
hey jan, thx for your thoughts as well.
To answer your question yes, i wouldnt have put it up for everyone to see if it were'nt first okayed by her.In the future If i choose to post shots like the one were discussing i will put a disclaimer in the title and a external link so that it doesnt violate the forums rules.
This forum is pretty much my bread and butter to get advice so i dont want to be banned or anything, but in the future maybe we should expand whats allowed onto the forum if its done in a professional manner and clearly not crossing a line.After all photography is art and to limit art would be closing down a whole beauty of work, that could have otherwise been critiqued by like minded passionate people that could offer valuable advice,tips,experience etc to further the skill of the photographer.

However, Bryan (the creater of this site) felt that the images posted were a bit "too" close to that line and the thread was deleted. He wants to encourage a family-friendly, work-safe environment here at the community and believes a socially conservative approach is ideal to achieving that goal. We should keep his wishes in mind when deciding whether or not to post an image.
