The pose looks awkward as fuck in my opinion.

Not a troll, your other photos poses are nicely posed, this one however does look very awkward and forced to hold it for the photo, it's not natural dancing caught in a photo, it's awkward and forced

I’m guessing people are under the impression that I stand there directing models but I prefer to influence and suggest rather than control. The model is as much an artist involved in the creative process. And the result is special to me because we both reached this crossroads together, whereas two dancers become a duet when their individual roles merge as one collaborative movement. So no, this wasn’t a held pose, it was a flow sequence. Notice her hair isn’t still, it’s sweeping in motion.

I happen to like how weird the motion was considering she was essentially dancing in ways that were influenced by the angles of the rock. I thought the conflicting angles were nice, the juxtaposition of both her strength and softness against the rigid stone. Its both unnerving and bizarre, yet ethereal and delicate.

When you break it down you make it seem like it's deep, but its not that deep. It still looks awkward to me. But hey, it's just one persons opinion, and opinions are like assholes, everyone's got them and they're usually full of shit.

Clearly people like it, but it's just not working for me.

That's not what trolling is.

It's not aggressive, it's not unsolicited and it doesn't matter whether it's the first comment or not. Criticism isn't sociopathic but dismissing criticism as trolling is.

It is an awkward-looking pose. This guy wasn't trolling or attacking you, he was sharing his opinion on a post you put on the internet for that very reason.
