Nude by the Pond?
This photo at first glance seems to be a nude woman next to the pond. The effect would not be there, if this was in color…since the nude is actually a green pepper. This was taken with a Panasonic DMC-FZ7. Why is this my favorite? This photo has generated more comments than any other I have ever shot. I laugh when people see it, the shock on their faces. Especially my Mother. I laugh even more when I think about this photo, with RB knowing the joke, being published in their book “Nudes”.
