These women do not exist. They each are a composite of about 30 faces that I created to find out the current standard of good looks on the Internet.

On the popular Hot or Not web site, people rate others’ attractiveness on a scale of 1 to 10. An average score based on hundreds or even thousands of individual ratings takes only a few days to emerge.

I collected some photos from the site, sorted them by rank and used SquirlzMorph to create multi-morph composites from them. Unlike projects like Face of Tomorrow or Beauty Check where the subjects are posed for the purpose, the portraits are blurry because the source images are low resolution with differences in posture, hair styles, glasses, etc, so that I could use only 36 control points for the morphs.

What did I conclude about good looks from these virtual faces? First, morphs tend to be prettier than their sources because face asymmetries and skin blemishes average out. However, the low score images show that fat is not attractive. The high scores tend to have narrow faces. I will leave it to you to find more differences and to do a similar project for men.

 

My other two images on attractiveness are here and here.

Is it size? Weight? Or are you scaling to the top?

Tip: zoom in center-bottom left. This is bowsprit, situated in a front of a ship. It is only a fraction of entire length. This is bowsprit o Mir, which is presented in full view on one of my previously posted photo

Exploring the Arctic Circle.

This image was taken a couple of nights ago whilst exploring a location that got me back into astrophotography.

 

The previous night I had photographed this spot. During that night the Tawney owls were actively calling and I saw a couple of bats fly not too far from where I was setup at.

 

This night the owls were still active but could hear movement in front of me which I believe was a deer, betrayed by the snapping of the fallen branches. Later I heard another behind me, again being betrayed by the fallen branches.

 

Later at about 2:30am, I decided to explore further back to see if there was any new spots to capture the Milky Way.

Yesterday I tried to post a photo of this figurine but Flickr viewed it as inappropriate, so here I am again hoping this time it will work. I've taken it from another angle that doesn't show the figurine's body. It's of Lady Justice and I don't think most of the Lawyers in this country would consider this figurine to be lude. The photo below is the one that was deemed restricted. Personally I think she's lovely!

There are over 50 visible people in this image! Hard to imagine just how small we really are, until you set foot in a place of such scale.

Near Hebden in the HYorkshire Dales.

Brought my pond fish into the house to a fish tank. Having a little fun with them the other day.

Belonging to the same genus as Inca Dove and Common Ground Dove, this small, gray dove with distinctive scale-like feathers is found commonly but discontiguously in S. America (a population in Eastern Brazil and another in Colombia/N. S. America). This is the Ridgway ssp. (note black edging to feathers). A Lifer seen at Hato La Aurora.

An even distribution of weight

People asked what are you going to make with it, sewing needles. So, stick pin for scale.

Yes, I even made the little nuts. Crushed a few in the process. Parts of this were made on a lathe not much newer than after the period this is modeled.

 

See photo stream for other pictures. It took over a year working once a week about 5 hours.

It was only when I got home and processed this photo that I realised I'd taken an identical one before... not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing?

 

UPDATE: See this image for how it should have looked... www.flickr.com/photos/60494167@N02/25180259564/in/datepos...

This is one of the most beautiful animals. Unfortunately, its huge plumes were cut off.

Hebden, Yorkshire Dales

I feel a bit conflicted on this photo... on the one hand, it's very busy, and probably all the rules were broken in terms of proportion and scale... on the other, what can I say, it kind of pleases me.
