nice and sharp image, well lit, but a bit "dull". I don't know how to explain, but it could just use a little sparkle, you know?

Very nice macro. You've captured the textures wonderfully and your DOF is spot on!

Simple shot, simple lines, simple composition, and nice water textures. All in all a terrific shot and I think it encompases what a nude should be. Highly rated.

Good abstract. I like how you controlled the lighting. I think you could have pushed the narrow DOF even further with positive results. Good luck.

Nice abstract. Perhaps a little bright near the top.

nice DOF and good lighting, but subject and composition are not too interesting

Very intriguing, sensual and visually dynamic photo. Lighting is great and I really like the shallow DOF.

Nice body landscape. Focus is great and the water droplets work well. You should try moving the light source behind the subject pointing towards the camera. If you can shield the light from shining into the lens it is good. then you get great shadows and a lit up rim around the body. I love the water droplets you have got here.

Good lighting, nice use of DOF, and somewhat androgenous, which is cool.

simply beautiful. great composition. love how my eye is drawn to the lower left 1/3 intersection.

Kudos on entering this challenge! I really like the composition of this shot, b/w is great......but think I'd like to see slightly deeper dof. To me the way the light plays on the drops of water make the skin look rough not wet.

bonus marks for using the word umbilicus AND spelling it correctly :)

a fairly safe entry, but well done nonetheless. sharp focus and well lit...which is saying a lot since lighting water droplets can be hella difficult. nicely done.
