You don't like pillows, Alter?
:-))

I guess the idea behind using this pillow has worked as planned:
Teasing impatient men like you!
:-)))

Thank you very much, Alter Ego!
Big XXX!

haha..nono...put the pillow behind the chair, like the flowers and the rest of the interiors and everything is fine...but in the middle..the model should be placed all alone..without any distraction...if pillow or not
:-)

And here I was, thinking that a little pillow could never draw away attention from an amazing lady like Vera Lynn. ...

ok...that's a point!...:-)...to be honest..first I took a look at here eyes..than I realized the pillow....after all.the lady is amazing with or without something laying on her knees...

Yes, I think so. :-))
And it works, I think, if it leads to reactions like this.
:-))
The idea was to tease the viewers a bit.
I can see what you mean of course.
Now, if I had to choose just 1 photo, say for a magazine or something, I would probably choose a photo without the pillow, too.
Yes, of course I made those, too.
On the other hand, things like this can add to the mood of a photo I think.
I hear that a lot: This or that draws away attention from the model.
But, I think it only makes the photos more interesting.
The models are strong personalities enough, I'm not scared they get lost in the decor or background.
And it adds mood for me, too.
A little prop can change the whole mood of a photos.
A chair, a pillow, some flowers, or like Bo, a little whip... :-))
Completely different story with just one or a two objects.

Hahaha, another man who doesn't like pillows :) But thanks anyway for your opinion and compliments. I see it like this : that's the difference between male and female photographers. Women are more sophisticaded...they are made to tease :) and a female photographer can respond that need...

Vera Lynn, I think next time we will make some photos with your dog on your lap.
It's a big one, isn't it?
:-))
