A departure from traditional nude-glamour, artistic nudes are distinct in that they often present much like paintings.

These 4 are not as great as the last 4

I voted for this one because..............

I like the outdoors woodsy theme. A truly beautiful woman with an amazing body and great face. I love the thought of the 2 of us just walking around completely nude and enjoying the incredible atmosphere and ambiance and the fresh air and breeze hitting our naked bodies as we hold hands and walk thru the place. I love her eyes and her lips just beg to be softly kissed, PERFECT size breasts. She is someone I would love to be around just to talk to and enjoy her presence.

I choose Overture, it is the best photo, it's a level above the first 3.
Although my favorite background is the redhead in Venice, Overture is the most captivating.
You could have photoshopped a skirt onto the girl in Overture to make all 4 photos more similar.
Or cropped the image below her belly.
 
Overture for me - I love EVERYTHING about this pic. A bit on the grainy side, but still one of my favorites ever... love her thigh hole! :D

This "Apple Harvest" is my pick. Every on of these four pictures tells a story, but picture #1 reminds me of a greek story, I can envision Zeus sneaking up on this pretty woman in disguise :)

For the EMPEROR!!
Overture gets my vote ty. It's a more natural pose than the others, which are very nice btw, but it's the 'pigtails' that really tip the scale for me.

Racing is life... anything else is just waiting.
Great choice of themes. I'll go with Apple Harvest.

Light one for Me
Overture gets my vote by a hairs breadth from Venice Nights in a close 2nd:)
 
I really like Apple Harvest, and I really like Capuring Autumn. I'd vote for the former because I think she's beautiful, but I'm voting for the latter because she is too...and without a single vote!!! Capturing Autumn ♥
 
As we head into the cold and the dark that marks the heart of winter, one cannot help but look back at the yellows, oranges and reds of the early to mid autumn with a sense of longing. All of these pics strongly reflect that longing while presenting breathtaking models. They are not glamour. To me they strike me as earthy and really natural as opposed to being totally stylistic. Each pic holds a deeper meaning and has a story.

The first pic features model, Lisa Shaburova. She is both the wife of the photographer and a wedding and nude photographer in her own right. In this pic I love her breasts and tight abs. She poses in a very refined and elegant pose, holding a basket of apples, symbolizing the bountiful and gazing west towards the fleeing rays of the sun, as if contemplating the coming winter. Originally this set was called "the Apple Diet". In doing a bit of a google search, I found out that there is a festival called the Savior of the Apple Feast Day observed in mid August in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus...something that perhaps the photographer and his wife were trying to portray in this beautiful pic.

The second model, Lily aka Lee Tattar much like Lisa is talented on both sides of the camera, and it really shows in her easy and refined pose. With an easel in one hand and a paint brush in another, she tries to capture the autumn on canvas, even as leaf lazily drifted onto her shoulder. The set is called Autumn Forest The photographer Andrew Lucas has some pics of a more sinister, darker variety where some of the models seem to leap out at you. This pic is okay, and it was not Andrew's or Lee's best...I think there may be another pic in the set that is better.

The third model needs no introduction. If autumn could become a person, it would be Piper Fawn..her fiery red hair reminds me of autumn. Venice is the perfect place it seems, as Autumn historically was associated with when the Earth and the Spirit World were at their closest, and Venice being one of the world's most haunted locales seems to be still and waiting with a heavy silence all around Piper.

The final model and the model of my favorite pic is Yulia. I did not get her last name. She hasn't posed in many pictures let alone galleries yet, but in this pic she seems to be in a masterpiece. This particular piece is called "The Forest Guardian", If a picture can tell a thousand words, this picture can tell us a story. I imagine Yulia as a good nature witch who protects and guards the creatures of the woods even as she walks with in sublime nudity, at one with nature and herself. Her eyes hide her nameless secrets of a primeval woodland world hidden from the world of man-a world only she has access to. While I love models who completely shave down there, the presence of some pubic hair on this model seems really fitting and in keeping with the earthy yet mysterious forest guardian. This was definitely my favorite of the four, but I wish there was a way to see all four of these models somehow represented in the next round as each have some amazingly breathtaking nudes. Thank you so much for sharing!

I am pretty sure that the lead that "Overture" has will suffice :)

Given the style of pics featured in this set, I was certain you would bring your usual high level of enlightenment to the table.

Not only did you not disappoint, you somehow managed to exceed my already high expectations, masterfully bringing these images to life with your commentary.
I have only one question for you... are you or have you ever been published?

Besides your narrative skills, you also seem to have a knack for ID'ing even the most obscure of models.
Kudos to you for uncovering this rich and relevant information!:thumbsup:

Overture has an unfair advantage, but all 4 photos are great.
Reading srs83's comments does bring the photos to life.
