It is always good when taking a shot is an occasion to show how attractive a human's body can be.

What an amazing shot. There is so much going on in this it makes it really interesting. A beautiful body, a gorgeous view of the city and a duck, what more can the viewer ask for. It is a shame that there wasn't more of the view of the city, but perhaps you will save that for another shot. I have got to start watching you. Your gallery is fun to look at. Thank you for sharing your art!

The only thing I can think of to improve this would have been to have more of that beautiful skyline behind you. Terrific shot and quite courageous.

If I looked good, I guess I'd be posting stuff like this, too.

The human body always looks good. Go forth and celebrate your own

You are very kind, and I appreciate that.
Just out of curiosity, I am wondering whether you would have that outlook if you didn't match the current norm of what is popular and what looks good. During my education, I have come across a number of studies (you can probably search for them in online science journals) which suggest that people who look beautiful (such as yourself) and who fit enough norms tend to have a much rosier outlook on life than is accurate for the vast majority of humans in this planet, who are, in fact, less attractive, less popular, and shunned/overlooked.
I would like to think that it is 100% inside their heads, but the economic, material, and sociological evidence of a powerful control over people's lives based on certain physical criteria is blatant and overwhelming (hence why things like civil rights movements are necessary. That is an unrelated point, I know, but it supports my claim that this matter is not and cannot be mere mental outlook.)

Oh, I forgot to ask, what did you study? It sounds interesting!

That's an excellent question. You should always verify information that people give you.
For this one, just focus your attention to the final section, "the halo effect" -- [link]
And this is just a summary of a book -- [link]
Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find rigorously scientific articles on the public web. You'd have better luck if you had access to journals approved by the APA (american psychological association), but access to those almost always require money.

Well... I think self-deprecation warps our underlying appreciation for the human body, which is probably more likely with anyone that is "shunned" or "overlooked," but the underlying appreciation is a natural instinct--it's what makes us capable of being attracted to other people... that same untainted feeling that makes us appreciate the perfection in the roundness of a circle or constellations in the sky
But, long story short, I don't think my perspective on that is provoked by my own appearance--I just think artistically the body is a gorgeous thing, meant to be drawn, photographed, viewed, enjoyed regardless of weight, race, sex or gender, or whatever

I think that is great advice. Ever since I was two years old, I have always been deeply attracted to "weird" and "ugly" people, so-called. In addition, I've been ridiculed by friends and family for my tastes in other people for most of my life.
I am simply wondering whether you would be fully at ease adhering to your final statement if you suddenly woke up one morning looking fat or looking like someone with progeria, for example.
I also believe your answer would be different if you had been deformed since birth rather than become deformed partway through your life.

I like the way the light hits one half of you and the other half is in shadow. The door leading to the slightly ruffled bed makes you wonder what's been going on. The bright city lights contrast the beige walls well. And then the focus of your bright green underwear really finishes the shot!

Thank you for your well-thought critique on my photograph, $dxd ! You seem to have quite the eye for detail and I am happy that you were able to recognize key elements of the photo in which I desired to stand out, particularly the play of light from the city outside the window! Thanks for your feedback and have a lovely day!
