Alright, I'm a little nervous about posting this. But I joined the feb14words challenge and the first word, in honor of go-to-work-naked-day, which I suspect would just get me arrested, was naked/body. And my own personal challenge for February is no-fear-Feb when I decided that I am too often hampered by the things that make m nervous and willing to hide at home instead of going outside my comfort zone. So a couple times a week I've decided to do something that scares me, and document it.
After all if you don't give up your fears at 50 - when will you?

Gorgeouys. Dixie, I can see that you are not a size zero waif and that you are what I would describe as beautifully voluptuous. I salute you for your courage in taking and posting this lovely shot. Fav
You are amazing! Congratulations! You are a homepage phenom! Well deserved, too. It's a great photo and it shows the vulnerability we all deal with. Good work!
Rubens will be flipping in his grave that he didn't have such a glorious Meuse as this. Just fabulous, love the processing. I bet if you did another similar and put a parchment process over it could pass as a master. Well done! Fav.
Fabulous, well done on stepping out your comfort zone, something I have forced my self to do in recent years, the rewards are endless! And Well done in filling lots of projects in one photo :)
not faving it because you're brave enough to do this. i am faving this because it is beautiful, wonderfully processed and very tastefully executed. congratulations!
Dixie, you may wonder why I'm going back six plus years and putting this in FAVs. I sent a friend a link to my recent picture a la Edward Weston and then a link to the one I did in May of 2014 at the end of my first year on 365. You had a comment on that picture and I had a reply complimenting you on your nude photo. So I came to your project and back to Feb of 2014 to have a look. So awesome! I don't know why it didn't go into my Favorites right then. but Kudos for a beautiful self portrait.
@mcsiegle strange to look back at this, and then I slipped and the picture sent me back one day and there was a beach scene I don’t remember shooting with comments from departed friends, and a description I don’t remember writing. I’m not sure if this picture posting might be my one moment of bravery in a timid life or not. Anyway thanks for the memory.
