3.0 out of 5 stars A Book... And Its Cover, October 11, 2005
I ordered this book with several others, but this was the one I was REALLY looking forward to. When my package arrived, I opened it up to find this was not all I had hoped it would be.

The Bad:

The cover is actually the best part of the book, with many of the pictures inside being very grainy, and not very well-composed for a Black-and-White. In my opinion, a study of the female nude in outdoor (natural) settings in itself should be done in color IF your focus is going to be the SETTING more so than the NUDE. Take pages 16,20,24,33,35,37,48,52,53,64,67,68,95,96, and 99 (I'll try to post some of these so you can see them). Many of these don't even include a female in the shot (and of the ones that do, there are only 2 pictures where you can see the woman's face, which makes you focus on the landscape in most of them) - and the landscape really loses quite a bit of its flavor without color. For a travel marketing photographer, Manolis Tsantakis should have known this. You can see in some of these pictures that the landscape is beautiful, but it does not entice you all that much in b&w. Not to say it can't work - the shot on page 100 works perfectly in b&w, and actually sends a chill up my spine at how eerie a still lake can be.

The Good:

There are some great pictures that do work very well - most notably the ones on pages 9,11-13,19,29,39,43,49,56-59,60,69,71,72,76-79,81-85,88,89,93,100,101,104,105. Getting a book with 30 good pictures out of 58 ain't all bad.

5.0 out of 5 stars A unique art book, December 10, 2005
This book features some of the best black and white nudes I have ever seen. It is rare to find a photographer who is able to incorporate the beauty of a woman with the beauty of nature. Each picture of this book is a poem and a pleasure for the eyes and it makes me feel the perfect harmony between a woman's body and the Mother Nature. The nudity of the models gives the touch of eroticism that makes these photos simply ... beautiful.
A must have for any exigent collector!
Looking forward to the next album of Manolis Tsantakis!

5.0 out of 5 stars Nature & Women Sensual and Honest, December 14, 2005
By Carmen "Carmen" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
I love this book, because although the women have beautiful bodies and faces, they seem to flow into nature itself. They are a part of the environment, not a sexy nude figure imposed upon a beach, they are the shape within the beach for example. I enjoy the poetry that goes along with every image. They are another thought and window into the picture. I have seen Mr. Tsankatis work on line in both color and black and white. His work is expressive and passionate and deeply adoring of women._Carmen

1.0 out of 5 stars little variety
If you like alot of pictures of women's backs along the shoreline, you will like this book. I think there are better, more imaginative choices out there.
