I don't care when, or where, just looking for photos of Maria to combat this attitude, and this is not the first time I have read it from someone. No disparaging remarks, please. Just the proverbial picture worth a thousand words....

The problem with Maria is her face. Yes, her face is kind of OK, I would say, but it's very, very plain and simple. She has no fashion model face. There is no magnet in that face. There are no unique features. No magnetic eyes, everything is very generic and overly simple to the point of boring. I would have a big problem trying to capture something magnetic in her portraits. I can't see an angle where I would be able to find something interesting. Another thing with her face is that it doesn't look developed or matured.

The eyes are fundamental in photography. Absolutely fundamental. And Maria's eyes are blank. They say nothing, they don't draw any attention.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion....hopefully, some of you will disagree with these.

Man, I don't know what women you like, but you are completely wrong, I can provide a lot of such photos and not only me...

If we'll ignore the millions Maria's fans your opinion is correct of course

Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, so I do not expect every person on the planet to say that Maria is gorgeous. But the statement above is simply and plainly wrong.

Needs to close this thread...pointless

I think you're borderline obsessed with Maria's body.

Probably right. No one seems to have read what I posted.

I posted something I read that someone else said. I do not agree with it in any way..I italicized it because I was not quoting exactly.

I regard maria's face as one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. (pretty good body, too).

I think my initial post was misunderstood....

gotta start somewhere...this photo seems to make a good argument against what the person I was quoting said....

I had that feeling... I didn't reply earlier, but I guess I was the only one to understand the first post. You should have specified you were quoting someone else.

It's not just this thread.

I've always loved this picture:

Thanks....Maria has so many thousands of photos taken, many on court or at events where she might be masking a wish that she was somewhere else are not always perfect(many on court are)....but these magical ones, when you can look at her face and see mischief, or concern, or very intense thinking going on about who knows what, are some of the best photos of the female part of the human race you will see anywhere.

I'm not dissecting every inch of her legs, face, stomach, etc. trying to analyze whether she gained a pound or so or not, or whether she fits
some dumb photoshop standard.
See the difference?
