Thank you very much, Dan!  Thank you too, Ken, P.J., and Mark!

Sorry you aren't partial to the pasties, but they were done to add a
more authentic Cabaret ala 1930's Germany look. I admit they don't fit
as snugly as pasties are supposed to do. The designer, Eva, had not
done then before and didn't get the angle of the cone quite right. She
was making these, hot-melt glue gun in hand, right at the last minute
while I was shooting the first set of images.

The snow sunbather is my wife, proving that we Canadians are made of
hardy stuff.

Cool concept! Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

Excellent work.

I spent some time clicking on the right arrow, and there are a lot of
attractive and effective image there,  You are doing really fine work
with the female models.  I don't find any of the nudes or semi-nudes
offensive or tasteless, but I do not care for the ones where the model
is wearing pasties.  I find them as disturbing as the British meat
pies of a similar name.  

I especially like the dog images and the portrait of the fencer.  Too
many cat photos, however!

I really like the sunbather in the snow, and #17065612986, which is
the montage of four images of a female figure with different color and
toning effects.

Overall, a very impressive gallery.

Nice shots but how can she be a princess warrior without an armored bikini?

Great captures Bruce - looks like you're having fun with your photography.
I'd prefer a little space between top of the subjects head and the top edge of 
the image in the portrait - to make it look more like a crafted image and nota 
snapshot.
