OK, tfandrew and lurker, we will have to disagree. While I too like Ariel in costumes, I greatly prefer her nude. Such a magnificent body should not remain clothed (for long). I do however enjoy the variety of her various costumes, and, when it happens, how she escapes them, the dilemmas she endures and the poses their escape requires. Many of my favorite shots of her are clothed or are facial closeups.

I should perhaps add that Ariel is probably the principal reason I am a member of RE. Yes, the site has many beautiful women, lovely, interesting and often quite unusual poses, as well as wonderful photos per se. But she is why I visit the site and when she remains too covered I am disappointed.

As for “artistic vs. explicit”, lurker, I would also like to see somewhat more explicit shots than is average for the site. That does not mean I don’t like or want the artistic as well. For me, the ideal shoot has a progression of clothed to nude and artistic to explicit, all of them kept in a proper balance. I am definitely not looking for that level of continued, barnyard-like explicitness to which so many sites manage to sink. They become boring on their face. Rather I great prefer a progression, or at least a variation, from what might be called a “street view” to a fully intimate portrait of a lovely woman, ideally in a way that is teasing but in the end fulfilling.
