Camera: Fujifilm FinePix A607

Aperture: F/2.8
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/4 sec.

I wanted to do a nude but I just moved so the self timer came in handy. The light source is natural. As far as the composition, I wanted a balance of sorts so I cropped the subject over to the side. Also, I wanted to emphasize the appearace of being bathed or "engulfed" in light. My post-process steps were re-sizing, cropping, curves, neatimage and hue/saturation adjustment layer.

A lot of people like these type of shots with the intentionally blown out areas but they're not a style I find favor with personally. I would have preferred to see at least an outline of her face.

I like the subject. The border is a bit harsh for this soft photograph. Perhaps a more subtle color.

Good example of negative space. The shapes of visible subject in turn create shapes of negative space. I don't like the composition, though, pushing her to one side like that. I see it often at dpc, and it is meaningless, or conveys a misunderstanding of negative space.

the negative space has some depth, which is good. Focus is just a little softer than I would like it (I love soft focus images and do a lot of them but I'm not sure this works here). The black border is distracting and overpowering - I think that is why I have a problem with the soft focus. Works for the challenge. 6
