These are beautiful poses and dresses, but I think the contrast in the background is a bit too high. Other than that, it's great. I really like the stone well. It was a nice choice for a setting.

The girl in the Blue dress is the hottest, the one in the red just doesn't do it for me.
The girl in the black just seems to have attitude in any picture in see her in.

Yep, most of my gallery is available for prints. There are a few pictures with size or rights restrictions, but they're by far in the minority. Let me know which images you're interested in as prints, and I can get you details

Perfect..I love modern renderings of classic mythology. You look lovely.
What might be next? Maybe a modern take on the Fates?

silvergrey In reply to bound-nicole-babe78 [2008-06-21 07:19:46 +0000 UTC]

Doing the Fates would be fun...might be kinda tricky finding appropriate wardrobe though

bound-nicole-babe78 In reply to silvergrey [2008-06-22 01:18:58 +0000 UTC]

Might not find an appropriate outfit that goes with all three fates but I could see:
Clotho in the Victorian Aristocrat Capelet & Blouse. It's very cute and youthful looking. Maybe a hobble skirt with it.
Lachesis in the Gothic Victorian Burgundy Promenade Dress. Beautiful and mature looking...very elegant.
Atropos in the Long Victorian Mourning Dress. Suitable considering she cuts the thread of one's life. Need a wicked pair of shears for her too.
Would just need a spinning wheel prop.
