Os has asked us to post our favourite HNT of the year today, but because I’ve been known to occasionally break the rules, I’ve chosen two. This first one is my favourite of them all. You may disagree with me, but this one is actually the most daring of all the pictures I have put up, and for that reason alone, I felt really proud of myself after I posted it. It always reminds me of how much support you have all given me, because without it, this picture would never have happened. I also like what I did with it in photoshop – I really love the contrast between the softness of the colours and the harshness of what’s actually happening in it!
The next picture was daring in a different way. It was my first proper half naked shot and I was worried sick about the reaction I’d get. But again, you guys blew me away with your support. A lot of you said that this was your favourite by far and it also got me the most comments I’ve ever had on an entry. I love the setting of this picture…and the lighting…and the memory it brings back of a lovely day with Rob at the beach.
I want to say a big thanks to you all. You took a scared woman who had quite a few issues with her body, and somehow transformed her into the woman she is today…one who can look at this picture with a smile on her face and feel proud of the person she is. x
The first photo is notable for its creativity (and I remember the hot story that came with it!), but the second one is the one I like the best. I just love your form and your expression. I just wish the water weren’t so cold! Wouldn’t you love to take that shot again in Tahiti or Brazil instead of the Channel?
I hope you will continue to do an occasional HNT for those of us who are too far away to visit in person–at least not every day.
The second one has been my favorite since you first posted it…….
Both are sexy and beautiful….
Happy HNT Gorgeous
I must say that the second image is so beautifully light and sensuous that I had to choose that one. You look gorgeous.
I’m currently running a vote on mine to let the readers decide, as I couldn’t. Lol
Both totally stunning! Cheers, Happy HNT and wishing you a Grand New Year!
Being fairly new reader to your blog, this is the first time I have seen either of these. I love them both. The first one for the creativity and what’s actually pictured, but the second one is my fav. You are absolutely stunning!
Both of them are great. I can see why you couldn’t just choose one. Love the hand print in the first one. The second one is so awesome. Love the lighting in that one. Of course you look stunning in it too!
How to choose, how to choose….
The second shot is so aesthetically pleasing….the composition of the photograph is lovely; the model is even lovelier.
The first shot, though….well, I am a guy, and that is your ass, and well….you know.
Thanks for posting (again) two of my favorite pictures.
Thank you for sharing so much of yourself over the past year…
You are incredibly beautiful inside and out.
I love the rawness of the first picture, but the second is my absolute favorite.
You should be proud of the woman you are. I think you’re pretty fantastic
MISS U, I remember your first entrance into HNT and how nervous you were. Since than you have shown us your beauty inside and out. And I have personally experienced the beauty of your soul over and over again. So, for that reason I pick the second picture as my favorite. I shows the beauty reflected on the outside that I see on the inside. You are more lovely than those beautiful surroundings in your picture.
Wishing you all happy days in the New Year.
Much love,
TME
Both are great. Very nice.
WOW to both. I only have one problem with this post. What the hell was you scared about. Kitty just turned me on to you and I have only been reading for a couple of days. Trying to get back through old post from you, but my lord lady……
STUNNING
Oh yeah the second is my fav, but I completly understand the art, and beauty in the first one. I am hooked Kiddo be in your blog every day
Follow up, sorry about the deleted comments. I fat fingered the publish button a couple extra times. Sorry….oh still love the pics
i love all your pics. mmmmmmm. happy new year hon.
Cherrie – If I get the tickets for Brazil, will you join me? It was bloody freezing in that water…the light conjures up images of beautiful, warm days, but in reality I’d just taken off a jumper and coat!
Who knows what 2007 will bring? I’m certainly going to be posting lots of photos…so I’m sure I’ll be sneaking a few more HNT’s in with them
Kristen – I can remember your comment from last time. I want to thank you for all your support this year…your words really have meant a lot to me. x
Suze – I’ve just been over and voted. It was so hard…I narrowed it down to 4 in the end and finally chose one. I think I’ll be back again tomorrow though, to vote again! You really are the HNT queen Suze..your pictures are always so imaginative and tempting. x
lecram sinun – Thank you for your kind wods, and for visiting. I’ll be heading your way in a sec
I hope you have a great 2007.
Kitty – Aww, thanks sweetie. I hung up my HNT towel a short while before you started visiting here, but I’m sure next year will see me participate in a few more. x
Erika – I like the handprint too. It bloody hurt though, lemme tell you! Yes…I love the pink lighting…but that’s cos I’m a sappy girl, lol. Thanks for your lovely words. x
Ted – A naked ass beats pink sunlight any day! Glad you like them… and thanks for your much loved support. Now…show me those boxers, for God’s sake! I’ll close one of my eyes if it’ll help…x
Robyn – I think you’re pretty fantastic yourself! We started this HNT thing at the same time, and it’s been amazing to see how far you’ve come too. I still remember that picture you put up which had me drooling and you blushing! xxx
TME – I was a nervous wreck for my first one wasn’t I? You were so fantastic though, as always. Full of love and support for me…full of encouraging words and compliments. I really don’t know what I would have done without you. This place wouldn’t be the same without you. In fact my life wouldn’t be the same without you. Thank you TME – for everything. xxx
Fermus – Thanks
Have a fantastic New Year.
Tiger – There’s something about being called kiddo which always makes me smile!
What lovely compliments. Thanks for visiting…it’ll be a pleasure to have you back. I think I’d better pop over to your site because a little birdie tells me you have your first HNT up. Can’t wait to see it
By the way…there’s nothing wrong with having fat fingers!
JD – Hello you! I sooooo wish you’d post something… I keep clicking and clicking and seeing that same old page. Miss you around here. Have a great new year JD x
Elaine, others may have helped with this transformation, but nothing would have happened had you not had this amazing beauty inside you eager to radiate outward.
That second photo, my favorite, is another for Art Nudes. Really!
That one is the most beautifully poetic HNT photo I have seen on anyone’s blog ever. (And I’ve been around!
)
Both are stunning photos. Visually captivating. Nicely done. Happy belated HNT.
They’re both great (the Xmas HNT was awesome too) but for sheer brazen sexiness, the top one, as they say round here, smashes it!
Happy New Year Miss U xxxx
I have to go with the beach silouette…stunning.
Dan – Aww, you’re such a sweetie! I really don’t deserve all these lovely compliments you keep giving to me, but keep ‘em coming, lol.
I’d have never thought in a million years that you’ve been around…I always thought of you as such a nice, sweet boy! xx
SC Man – Hi! Thanks…I’m really glad you like them
Hope you have a Happy New Year.
CB – Yay! Someone agrees with me! I hope you had a great Christmas…
and I’m wishing you a very prodctive New Year! Best of luck. x
Bishp Rick – Thank you. I can’t take the credit for it as my husband took it, but I love it too. Happy New Year to you
We really do need to get together, Miss U.! England, Brazil, here . . . it doesn’t really matter!
Happy New Year!
From Alex & Suzanne X
Cherrie – That would be fantastic. I do plan to visit at some point…perhaps this year will be the year I actually make it over? You will DEFINITELY be getting a knock on your door. x
Alex – Happy New Year to you both. x
(I love that pic!)
Beautiful! Happy HNT!
atanta guy – Thankyou! And thanks for visiting too
I love both these photos and honestly I never once thought of you as a scared or fragile person but I am so glad you are doing better. We may only know one another thru these blogs but there are a lot of people out here for you. peace~art
