"My Side" by Kathy Slamen (no longer incognito as Madame X) is the first place winner of the O&C "Body-Part Art" contest. We chose this image for its beautiful play of light and shadow, its simple, elegant, and sensual composition, and for the unique and sexual way that it displays a single body part isolated from the body as a whole. Congratulations Kathy!
Our first runner up is Nicole Rodrigues with her beautiful photograph "Hands." We loved this piece for its fluid composition and overwhelming eroticism. With photos like this in the running we wish we were wealthy enough to hand out more than one first place prize! Congratulations Nicole!
Our second runner up is Charles Talkoff. His sultry photograph "Nicole" made us hot just looking at it. We especially love her hand as it clasps a strand of beads just over one of the most intoxicating of all body parts. Congratulations Charles!
Please visit June's art gallery to view the top 11 finalists! We received over 30 art submissions and are very impressed with the quality of work that we have seen. It was both a pleasure and a challenge choosing a winner from such a talented group of artists.We hope that each and every one of you is proud of your achievement and thank you so much for sharing your work with us. What an honor.
xoxo
Jordan and Samantha
