The entire focus of this centerfold is on Kari's wonderful round bottom and shapely legs. The contrast in shape between the bent and straight leg is wonderful. The artistic elements are just first rate. Her brilliant blue dress splashed around the lower part of the photograph makes it impossible to concentrate on anything else for very long. The rest of the colors in the centerfold key off of this in a wonderful way. The blue color could easily have overwhelmed everything else, but yet it remains in proportion. Kari's hose stops at just the right spot on her thigh. The accessories such as the glass on the floor are perfect background players, enhancing the setting but never stealing the show. Kari's attention is directed solely at us. There is no hint in her face that this staged photograph is anything but reality. It does draw my eye to the one minor note in the centerfold. I think I would have dropped her left shoulder just a bit and perhaps raised her chin. As it is, there is an element of tension that seems a bit out of place.
