I haven't been spending as much time as usual in the forums, but I still managed to read an occasional post in my few free moments this week. Correct me if I'm mistaken, but I gathered that you were unhappy with your photography and you were going to experiment more and post less. You may have been correct that your work was all looking the same, and I commend you for experimenting. I'm also glad that you were convinved that you should continue posting, otherwise we wouldn't have seen this step forward in your work.
I really like what you and Deanne have here, since it is an improvement on nearly everything you two have done, except for the bodyscapes. While this photo is good and I get the theme, the backdrop could be more effective if it were a background. Put a desk or something back there to help the office with fantastic diffused light source theme. In other words, make the set look realistic and let the lighting be the only hint it's a studio.
Very nice work from both of you. Keep posting and experimenting--the worst that can happen is your experiment doesn't work, like this one of mine (I still like it though)...
