11. Hey Guys! Is it just me, or does anyone else see a photo like this...

...and still try to get a higher angle (on the Photo) to get a better angle on the pictured woman's cleavage. :crazy: :silly:

Sorry, I can't help it, I'm a Guy.:blush:

I think if I had to pick, I'd say a woman's cleavage is her sexiest part. Nice Picture.:evilgrin:

Comment as a Pro-Photographer: That's a very High angle, nice though.:thumbsup:
