I’m back, did you miss me? No. I see 
It has been longer than I planned, but I’ve been busy making an impulsive mistake and then trying to mitigate the effects. I heard that sniggering. More excitement is planned in March, but that’s another story. One good thing about long plane flights is that they give you the chance to think, and I found myself wondering what makes the perfect spanking image.
It may surprise you to hear that I have accumulated quite a few pictures in my time, but actually I probably only like about 10%. And the gems are really rare. I put this down to my highly refined taste, and in a modest attempt to pass on this expertise I thought I would try and isolate the essential elements, in the vain hope that some of the commercial sites will take note and up their game. Of course some people don’t learn well from books, and if AJR needs any practical tips I’m available in person any Thursday. Or anytime, OMG.
So what is the secret of that compelling vision? After many hours of arduous study I have come to a conclusion that the classic view has to include both a girl’s face and red bottom in perfect juxtaposition, ideally otk and shot from the front. You can get away with a rear view, but it is more difficult to get this tasteful and well-balanced. Missy, are you actually asleep there at the front? I’ll just ask you to help Miss Jones demonstrate the format…
Keep spanking her Miss Jones, I need a glass of water anyway...
Now I’m not pretending this is the perfect picture, but it does have the essential elements – a pert curvy little bottom, poked up beautifully for smacking and already a lovely red, the centre of attention for both of them. That over-the-shoulder open-mouthed look to check progress is also very appealing. Yes I did pour the water over my head Miss Jones. The face bit is very important, it establishes the personal connection to the viewer. As some of my Readers may remember, I do like conducting field surveys – why should this post be an exception?
Nice camera Wordsmith!
This is an alternative form which still retains the classic from-the-front view, displaying curvy spanked cheeks in profile and an expressive face. In this case the viewer is invited in by the spankee using eye-contact, to empathise with her situation. Those knickers look a bit racy for a schoolgirl, but are perfect from a spankers point of view – can be admired during the warm-up, and then gently tugged down once things get properly underway 
There is an obvious fault in this picture though, in that her bottom is too low and not fully on display. Wonder if she’s up for a bit of tutoring.
Of course not all images have to be otk, but it is difficult to get the perfect face/bottom effect in other situations. It is funny how even a glimpse of face can convey a lot…
My bum hurts like hell actually. Just take the picture Wordsmith, I want to get this over with...
This has broken all the rules, but is still very appealing – mostly due to the glimpse of her eyelashes. Her lovely bottom is very expressive too, looking quite calm and perky, showing the unmarked rosiness that comes from steady sensitive swipes to warm things up. Her posture somehow conveys she is well aware things are about to get much stingier, but is fairly philosophical about it – no doubt thinking that after all the anticipation it would be a bit of a let-down not to get a good caning, and a girl does need some nice stripes to show her friends afterwards
Just hold that for a second please, need to get my tripod out...
So here is another alternative for the perfect otk shot, with both essential elements in play and even including the cute over-the-shoulder look, but from the back view. Quite nice, but same old problem – bottom needs to be a bit higher. Apart from anything else, this makes it easier for the spankee to watch as her cheeks are smacked, letting her experience the full audio-visual effect as well as the intense sting. In these rear-end shots the red bottom tends to dominate the scene, but hey that’s what it’s all about 
Oww!!! Go away Wordsmith!
Surely you are all convinced now? What a lovely picture of a brat being spanked, wriggling otk and letting her feelings show. There is definitely something appealing about a cute bottom peeping out above tugged down jeans and pants.
Still, you don’t have to be otk to get the full over-the-shoulder look. Let’s demonstrate with Miss Jones’s help…
Ok, OK!! Point made Wordsmith!
She’s such a good sport that girl. Looks like I’ve only found otk and caning examples. Hmmm. I’ll just nip next door and see if the Dean can rustle up some strapping scenes. Where’s my camera?
This is not funny Wordsmith
I don’t believe it, she’s still got her jeans on. Typical. You give an intern a job and all they do is complain.
