There is something not quite right... But my eye is not catching it...both yesterday and today.

some nice nails. It's not knotted off, but looks like it would hold. Is the complaint about the type of rope used or that she is not fighting it? Other than that looks technically fine to me

I think it is where the loop picks up and ends then starts over. It looks as if he is dropping the rope over her left hand and starts the new loop when he picks it up between her wrists. the motion carries through so smooth that it looks like a continuation of where the rope is dropped.

Did I over analyze that. I was bothered at first as I was trying to see how he was working the rope

Lol... I wasn't expecting such discussion..

I realize the tie isn't done... What really sticks out is the sloppiness.. I keep the symmetry of my ties during a tying, and keep the rope tight together, especially just doing a simple cuff.

I just wondered if anyone noticed that...

Yes. I agree. The loops are loose. And not symmetrical in a way that they should be when complete.

What appeals to me about the gif however is the intimacy of it. And the motion. And that play is being initiated. Her hands relaxed as he applies the loops, however imperfectly. She trusts him. Which is the main thing. :heart:
