To: pml1@yahoogroups.com Subject: [PML1] CC: Tamara Witmer From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2006 20:59:07 -0000 In Tamara Witmer's centerfold (August 2005) the Senior Class Boat Trip is just getting underway. It looks like the two of us will be getting underway as well in just a few moments. There are many things to like about this centerfold. Tamara looks great here. She looks amazing in this pose. I don't think her figure could look better. Her expression reveals only a few of the reasons she's naked. We might even get to enjoy a cool drink before. Or after. The colors all work together, and even though it is (supposedly) a nighttime shot, the effect is light, airy and open. The banister adds a strong diagonal. Tamara's legs are bent perfectly to look good and to make a strong composition. Overall, the composition is well centered and grounded. The point is it makes this is a very comfortable place to spend some time. And then there are those smudges. Where are they in the front to back plane of the picture? Where exactly do they begin and end? Why is Tamara covered with them, except for her feet? What are they? The most important question: Why was a very good centerfold compromised by their useless inclusion?
