From time to time, we take criticism for applying too many edits/filters to our images. Sometimes the gripe is justified and sometimes it isn’t, though we are always tempted to offer the critic a full refund for the free erotica he/she just viewed.
For this photo, however, the edit was 100% mandatory. Manda. Tory. I am standing against an as yet un-redecorated wall with fading yellowish wallpaper, lit by an overhead bulb that provided even more of a sickly tint to both our bodies and to the wall. As we were running through our filter set, it occurred to us that this is somewhat reminiscent of a classical pose, and so we settled on a favorite parchment overlay that contained, you guessed it, a yellow tint. A heavy sigh and a click to monochrome and voilà, something we feel good about posting. ~C
Beautiful photo! And, I think that you get to use any filter that you want. They’re your photos. 🙂
Thank you for your support! 🙂
I try not to edit or filter too much, but sometimes you have to do it because of lighting or background or whatever. And yes, if people don’t like it let them go pay for some fake, airbrushed perfection.
BTW I love the filter you’ve used, great photo 🙂
We have our favorite filters, but most of them are very gentle. And we feel the same way about “fake airbrushed perfection”! — If that’s what people are looking for, then this site is the wrong place. 😉
Damnit – it’s your bodies on display, your photos, your “art,” and so no one has any effing right to tell you whatever other than “Thank you very much!”
Yes! Thank you! 🙂
Lovely photo!
Many thanks! We were very happy with it. 🙂
Great shot ~ sometimes filters work, and sometimes they don’t. Here, the result is super. (by the way, nice boobs, great manicure.)
Agreed re: the filters. Sometimes we go back and forth for quite a while, and then post the photo unedited.
Beautiful photo, thank you.
Thank you for the kind words! 😉
Nice work. Criticism??? Screw them.
LOL, thanks!
At the risk of sounding like an adolescent, fuck the haters. You guys are beautiful and your photos – all of them – are gorgeous. I love the rawness of this shot!
Much appreciated, Jo! We have to remind ourselves sometimes that we post what we like, and it doesn’t really matter if our readers ignore or criticize a post. 🙂
I swear I commented on this! #stupidphone. Excellent photo! And eff the haters. They don’t need to look if they don’t like it. If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all! You’re both beautiful. You take awesome images. Screw the rest! Xoxo
Thank you, darling! We honestly weren’t trying to fish for moral support, but we do love the kind words from y’all! ~C
Well your many commenters have covered the ground pretty well for this lovely image 🙂 But what about the wall? Remember Oscar Wilde’s last words about the yellow wallpaper in his hotel room? “One of us has to go.” 😉 x
We feel very well defended, indeed! 🙂
