My Time of Day

Okay, here we go. Butterflies in my stomach as I write this. Maybe it’s not a good idea to upload this… Where is the line that shouldn’t be crossed? This was inspired by Amy Huges @amyhughes beautiful series on curves, but this might just be taking it one step further. But really being nervous about this is silly; it is just a human body – nothing wrong with that, it is the most natural thing in the world really. Then why are there still butterflies in my stomach?!
I guess the only way to know is to post it and see what you guys say. I’m gonna close my eyes and press save…
beautiful!

This is absolutely stunning! I've done many nude shots in my project and I still get nervous about posting them, no matter how little or much they show. I think this is just perfect though! Very brave! Bravo!

yes - brave; beautiful, beautiful portrait!
October 17th, 2011  
Fav for me, beautiful shot of a beautiful woman. Excellent light in this shot, love the silhouette feel with just a hint of more detail. Composition is just great with the positioning of the sun and how you left the window frames visible on every border.
October 17th, 2011  
Beautiful!
October 17th, 2011  
ditto what everyone said. just absolutely STUNNING. you're very brave! I would never work up the courage to do something like this! bravo
October 17th, 2011  
it takes guts to upload such an exposed picture, kudos to you! you look absolutely beautiful. i love your description and what you said about bodies "it is the most natural thing in the world really" so true! when you really liberate yourself and your body is when you remind yourself that bodies aren't to be hidden, or necessarily sexual, getting over the taboos and remembering as baz luhrmann said "your body is the greatest instrument you'll ever own" this is so tasteful and free! congratz on the pop page, its well deserved :) xx
October 17th, 2011  
I think it's beautiful and tasteful and amazing!!! and it's a fave!! and I love the light...and I commend you for taking it one step further!! Oh Laerke this is wonderful. It's art. And I'm so glad it made the pop page!!!!!!!!!!
October 17th, 2011  
Stunning photo and trust me if I had that figure I'd be showing it off too :-) But apart from the figure, the shot, the light the whole image is superb
October 17th, 2011  
FINALLY 365 is getting past that whole "Oh, look how pretty all of these pictures are, but wait...WE CAN'T BE NAKED ON HERE!!!" thing. I think this is taken in a lovely way, showing curve and shadow wonderfully.
October 17th, 2011  
omigod... you are so brave!! And what a stunning shot this is too!
October 18th, 2011  
I hope you don't get any more butterflies. Very lovely photo!
October 29th, 2011  
nowhere near the line that shouldn't be crossed, this is artistic and superb, well lit and well framed. super. fav.
December 25th, 2011
