This is a nice series. Bjorn's post reminded me of a picture (unknown photographer) that, again, reminded me of a hit song by Led Zeppelin. A Stairway to Heaven. Here it is.

Excellent!

Thanks Elsa. When I saw the thread and Bjorn's picture I could not resist. Nudity in this photo, I think, is depicted in good taste.

Great shot ! The skater hovering above the stairs gives a nice touch... :-)

Elias, is this a doll?
It just doesn't look real how perfect her body is...

Hello Jakov, I think post processing made her look like a doll. It looks a very nice body, but the texture of the skin is like "marble",
not a single mark.

Thanks guys. The photo was taken in central London on the back of  St Martins-in-the-Fields church, near Trafalgar Square. I was walking around on my own to photograph, like I did many times when I was living in London, when I came across this guy. He was actually with another guy which was shooting video. This photo is a part of a sequence of images that cover the full jump. This guy was pretty good!!
The photo was taken with a D700 + 24-70 f/2.8.

Thanks Erik. She must have been raised on, world famous, Danish dairy products.

Blue sky in the dark, little clouds, dark silhouettes .... Magritte's mood. Great one, Joost
