This is such a beautiful and simple photograph. It seems just a tad dark, but that could be the effect of the black fishnet and its shadows. Reardless, very nice shot.

I think this image tries to put emphasis on the pattern. I would then expect the shape of the body to be used more. Also the nipples disturb the emphasis, they draw attention, could have cropped them out.

Title: 4

Additional Comments:

As described by your title, patterns are certainly a theme of this photo, but to me, contrast is also a strong theme. This photo is very seductive in nature as well. An alternative idea for this shot would be a higher exposure / high key black and white. The color, as presented here, does add a nice warmth to this photo, but I think some additional starkness would present something nice as well :) On the composition, I'm undecided if having the nipple in the upper right so close to the edge or not. I don't find it to be a big issue because of the stronger theme of patterns (texture) and contrast in the image. the breasts are a secondary theme, providing softness and beauty to balance the texture and contrast... I would love to have seen a stronger title to go along with this photo :) Very nice theme here.... great shot :)

Very nice, like the abstractness, if such a word exists. Whould of liked a touch more DOF

returning for comments.
Now this is good, but I would have liked to see the entire image as sharp as the foreground. Regardless, it remains a strong entry.

I do like photos of nudes with that netted material, and it works very well in this shot. Some people may criticise the shallow dof, but it works for me here. Nice, sensual shot.

A common shot well taken. Congrats for filling the whole frame, no one on here ever seems to do that, I think in your case it works extremely well. I also like your choice of focusing on the belly button rather than the breast, although keeping them in again was a wise choice.

Nice shot that I am sure will hit the top 10.

Very erotic and very well done. I like the dof you used. My only suggestion would be to have had a black (or white?) bg, instead of her arm (?) in fishnet, to make her curves (waist, breast) stand out more. Good work.

A beautifully composed and very artistic shot. I wonder if a less constrictive crop (showing just a bit more of the torso, curve of the hips, etc.) might have really made it pop. I love the fishnet look though. Very appealing visual impact.

nice balance between the standard fishnet concept and a very interesting undulating surface

Very good composition. Nice DOF. The position of the nipple on the right bothers me, a little bit lower would have made a lot of difference.

That is something nice to be caught in your net! The dept of field should be wider to me. Might make it more effective. Nice work.

i like, but would be better with a wider depth of field
