Nicely spotted.

This is a luscious photo, David - very nicely conceived and framed. Splendid.

Very nice. I mean photo, but..legs are nice too :) Have to agree with Stephen - framed just right.

Racy!

Nice shot!

Interesting shot here David, love the contrast between the rough and the smooth :o)

I am a big fan of your work, however, this photo has dissapointed me. As a feminist I find it somewhat degrading to see an image taken by a man reducing a portrait to a voyueristic 'legs' shot. I'm sure you didn't mean any harm in it, but I can't help but feel a sense of debasement as a woman when I look at it.

As I said - I love your work and this is the one exception.

Thanks all.

Sarah: I meant this one more in the spirit of celebration than objectification, but my apologies for causing you offence.

It looks a bit awkward and static to me!

I back you up on that bet. Those are nice legs and that's all. I like the way you framed them.

i think this is rather poor , and i wonder why you posted it , for the girl that thinks it debases women to the point of her being offened get a life its a pair of legs poorly shot this is meant for the guy who said nicely framed... open your eyes and dont just make stupid comments. its far form being " nicley framed" one knee is not seen as the wire cuts across it and its out of focus the other is almost cut in half nicely framed indeed....... the feet are sliced in half which is not really the photographers fault which is why i wonder why u posted it care to tell us..

Nice to see you've shared your pown photos there Ed. As for the shot it's exactly the sort of thing I would post myself, and have done, so I enjoyed this one. AND it had the added plus of making me grin on a Monday morning ;)

Rich sorry i foolishly thought that this was Chromasia.com (i dont piggy back. ) and im sorry your life is so boring that the post made you grin.. yawn.

We see images around us which please us; make us smile.
Photographs are merely observations.

Barcelona (and Spain in general) has loads of lovely legs walking around, and this photo is simply an observation.

Why is a photo of someone's legs "debasing", but a photo of their face not? Or the back of their head? What if today's subject were wearing trousers? Or had been less (or more) tanned? Or if she had a prosthetic leg? Would your opinion be the same if it were a pair of male legs?
What makes this photo "debasing"?

If such a photo makes people smile, why should that be any different from seeing a beautiful mountain vista, or a couple walking arm in arm, or children laughing? How does it differ from any other scene which provides aesthetic appeal? Should we consider our lives boring if any picture makes us smile on a Monday morning?

This isn't one of the photos that 'makes' Chromasia, but to me it's still a pleasing image.
(If you want to see the same sorts of images that you're used to, have a look through the archive - Mr Nightingale has built up an impressive collection of great photos; personally, I like a change every now and again - I hear it's as good as a rest).

And I hope you don't think that my comments in any way disagree with feminism.
Please don't get me wrong - I fully support feminism; I think it's great.
It gives the ugly ones something to do.

:)

beautiful!!

Dave.....I like this shot a lot...original....had never thought about photographing a body part before....but nice...Well Done.
Sara.

A lot of graphic appeal, in addition to a nice set of legs. This is really a well seen image. Nice Job.

Hahaha, it was fun reading the comments for this one! I actually have feminism class tomorrow and Im sure my teacher would want to kill you for posting this haha. I personally think the lighting is nice, and or her skin tone. The quality.... not your best but you could play it off as capturing the mood. I mean...she is walking...and ya. I wouldn't mind a set of those.....

They certainly are great legs and a terrific shot using those lines.

I like the energy and movement in this shot. I do wonder why a feminist would find a shot of attractive legs debasing. What if they were a man's legs? Would that be more acceptable? And if so, why? I'd prefer the shot without the wires cutting in front of the legs, but it's also clear that wasn't possible.

I still think they are nicely framed. And, Ed "open your eyes and dont just make stupid comments", you must say that to yourself first. I couldn't care less about your "expert" advice.

interesting to read all these comments... wonderful legs but was drawn to it as it did look quite appealing.. interesting as men do tend to be taken by the beauty of the subject rather than the skill.
