There are a lot of reasons I love this photograph, but one of them is not that I could accomplish the pose. I was astonished to see that this was a tough one for our beautiful hosts as well, so at least I was in good company.
I don't understand how it can be so easy to do a pike in headstand and just moving the head a few inches into the air makes it so hard. But there it is. Plus after many days of new poses and rushing to do them my back was complaining a bit this AM and I have learned the hard way not to challenge it when it is griping, so I stuck with a plain old vanilla pike.
I really love the light in this room though and I luckily noticed the slant of brightness and shadow against the wall which I was able to try to mimic with the angle of my back. I like the way it frames and supports picture giving the whole thing a sort of organic "meant to be" feel.
I am also loving seeing the curve of my butt and hint of muscle tone now that I have stopped wearing my boxers under the thermal underwear. I guess my next step would be to get some tights so I don't have all that bunched up part on my lower legs, but that will be for a future challenge.
Finally, I really appreciate the support I have been getting from this little cybercommunity around my embrace of this process of Insta image creation. The feedback makes it all worthwhile.
Peace Out Brothers and Sisters,
Ray
