Like many, I like to comment on pictures posted here on MM.  I comment in a positive way when I feel the image deserves it.

Sometimes I comment because of the lighting, the pose, the DOF, or... sometimes it's because of the b(0)(0)bies.

Really. 

Sometimes a shot is attractive because of teh T&A involved.

BUT... I don't quite know how to say, "Hey, great tits" without sounding like an absolute perv...

at the same time, I wish to convey to the model that the shot is very striking to me....  without overstepping some possible boundries.

Dear models, if I comment on your bodily endowments (while trying to stay respectful), how do you feel?

Thanks in advance,

Allen

Well, there's always "nice rack" or "them is sum bodacious ta ta's" or "wow..what remarkable gazongas"...
Short of that, you can probably say something like "superb figure" or "statuesque" or any other number of charming euphemisms.
Or just say "great image" and assume we all know what you really mean. wink

no matter how PC you try and be, there's always going to be someone offended... that's the downside to massive sites like this...even though if a model has posed nude, and posted it, he/she should be able to easily handle, and expect any comments reguarding the figure.  smile

I usualy just leave itat --Nice image and great model .
The tags and notes that say " babe " or " Baby " are the ones that really get to me . Why would a photographer call a model baby or hunny --why not just say your horney ???smile ---just not professional

I think people that try and beat around the bush are coward, you can simply say, Nice Ass or Nice Tits, rather than trying to skate around what you're really trying to say. Most of the time comments that skate around what should really be said make the person making the comment look silly.

just like irl, there are some people you can say certain things to, and other people you don't. i know with whom i can be funny, forward, blunt, crass, or downright rude. i also know as a human and a professional what boundries are okay to cross.

i also keep in mind, as a professional (and this isn't the case for everyone), the stuff i post on the net is essentially floating out there forever. i've found posts from years ago made on usenet newgroups. nothing i wouldn't say or post again given similar circumstances. so if i tell someone "nice titties," it's definately someone who i consider a friend. but i will say, "very cute ass," to someone who posted an image that they obviously know is a great shot of their ass.

i do generally stop at commenting on what body parts i'd like to lick. wink

You don't sound like a perv when you do that, you sound HONEST.

What a SLAMMIN' PAIR of b(o)(o)BIES I am HYPERVENTILATIN' NOW!
is perfectly cool if that's what you're thinkin'. I mean, shoot, no chick posts a picture of herself  lookin' HOTTTTTT without knowin' what the score is. So you can earn points to truthfulness by keepin' it real. Don't be like one of those gay-ass arty-farty photographers posting some chablis-swilling crap like:
"What perfect symmetry of form and line!"

Keep it real! That's what I do and at least 1 in 100 of the models I ask to do TFP with me replies!!

Depends on the framiliarity of model and photographer.  When I hang up the phone with certain photographers, I say "Talk to you later sweetheart", they call me babe, no one is offended.  Its a term of endearment between two friends.

Hmmm...  how about

-Hooo-WEEE!!!  TIDD-EHZ!!
-Badunk-a-DAYUM!!
-I'll get the oreos since you got the milk...
-You're the breast I've ever seen...
-OooOoOOoOOOoo... breasteses...

Seriously, if you want to be the least offensive just say "There's nothing redeeming about this photo.  And if there was it certainly wouldn't be your amazing figure."  I'm sure that they'll understand exactly what you mean...

Well being that I am one of those well-endowed models I wouldnt want a professional photographer to just come out and say "nice tits" to me and expect me to work with him after that...but I wouldnt take it offensively, I just wouldnt work with him!

But you have so many ways to let a model know how you feel without being so abrasive...and you had plenty of people give you some excellent examples! LOL!

Alright already, I only posted that ONCE, and it was a fiesty Semillon.  Shut up and pass the corkscrew.
