My photography club had an Art Nude evening, I drew the last lot and time was short by then. I had a window of 6 minutes to get this shot. Pretty happy with the result; it was quite a good exercise to have a shot in my head and a very limited time to get it.
(Wish it wasn't Basic editing though the highlight on her ribs bothered me and I wish I'd could have selectively suppressed it).

To be honest, some of the commenting bothered me a little. Of course she was comfortable.

Over 18? Again, of course she is - 26 actually.

I really like this, I think her wrist/hand movement gives it a twist from the rest of the golden soft look. Not sure why people think she looks under 18 though.

I tend to view nudes in challenges such as this as a shameless way to get a few more votes, but I actually loved this photo and feel on the contrary it should have scored higher. Very tastefully done and the lighting and cropping is just perfect. Probably my favourite photo of the challenge.

Congrats on the top 10, Paul. I found this to be so classic and beautiful. Gorgeous use of gold cloth.

I love the photo... and it's very well done to provide modesty in a seasoned model... BUT..

Her face leads us to believe she's much younger than her body (I have a daughter like this)...so ... I'm not loving her right boobie.

Not fair?! Nope. Not at all. :)

But, still ... a 7 from me (earlier, just back to comment).

Crop near the hands is a great touch. While I've never taken a nude, when cropping other images, I'm usually scared I'm going "trap" them in ! Very nice work and use of gold.

I like where you were headed. The gold fabric should cover both breasts, at least the nipples, and the other should be lower to cover as well. Your lighting is pretty nice. May wanna soften the hand above her head or maybe put something in it giving it a purpose. Just my thoughts

the shape of the hand up her head is interesting how the hell can she do that ;)

Creative concept aka "Golden Boy Oscar de la Hoya" very well executed with excellent lighting, wonderful processing and a beautiful model. 8

Nice photo. Too bad the angle of her wrist seems so awkward when the rest is so graceful.

Disturbing. She looks so uncomfortable. I hope she is over 18.

the pose is actually quite good and i like the use of the gold fabric - but i am drawn to her face and how she does not appear comfortable

By far the best in the challenge; very well composed, good tones and tricky way to make it DPC safe. Only nitpick would be the blown area on her chest

wow, very erotic, has a very painterly feel to it.
