Promoting the "contrapposto" tag

Posted under General

Today I saw the comment in post #1162593 about how to tag a pose where the hips are tilted at an angle, and I suggested using "contrapposto". post #1091951 was the first to be tagged contrapposto three months ago. post #949097 had been tagged hip_out, which I changed to contrapposto. I created a wiki entry for contrapposto and also added it to some pictures that were already tagged hips.

I'm hoping the rest of you can help to add "contrapposto" to more pictures, starting with hips and other members of pool #4305: Perfect Waist.

Hip out is a bit too ambiguous in my opinion though, contrapposto is specific to this notion of shoulders and hips tilted at opposite angles, and is apparantly common as a phrase to describe the pose in the studio arts. It's not as though we haven't used obscure, but specific terms in the past, (e.g. payot).
