Hi,
Thanks to all for writing. I appreciate every comment, even if I'm slow to respond.
WebMuse - From me and the crew, thank you for the high compliments. Our intent in switching from videos to stills is to get "better and better", so it is especially gratifying to see it in your comment.
wcpope - Greetings to a fellow typesetter, and glad to hear you like the pics. I worked at a daily newspaper in my youth (though not as a typesetter), so we have something else besides our love of BE in common. I studied the captioned image you posted, and used it as a model for my method. Thanks very much for your help.
Aficianado - Thanks for your message. You've hit on one of my favorite aspects of a beauty pageant - taking the measurements. Unfortunately, as I replied to Gloria above concerning leg measurements, I don't have a flexible measuring tape to obtain a 3D model's vital statistics, so for now you and I will just have to keep using our imaginations.
BigFan - I often think the most recent image I've done is my best effort, so I understand your sentiments. And I'm very glad to hear that I may be turning you into a butt man, as you will be following the same roundabout path my muses are leading me on.
MaxBigfoot - I'm glad to hear you also liked the rear view of the three Finalists, and glad you noticed the new caption placement on the pictures themselves. And you're right about adding the captions to the 180+ stills I've already done this year - I just don't have the time now, though I won't rule it out in the future.
Djoser - Good point, and your guess is right - the models work out every day with strength training, belly dancing, and yoga, with special attention to the pectoral and gluteus muscle groups.
