gotta give you props for a difficult lighting set up; well done to get enough light on the eye to see the iris colors. DOF issues makes gettting the aluminum can sharp and the eye but you did well enough. Good entry; hope you score a ribbon.

wonderful texture and sharpness and you meet the theme challenge well; my only wish is a slightly wider crop ; it seems to b cut off at the base sides and the c olums appear tilted ; nonetheless this is one of my highest rated images; congratulations.

eventhough I'm not a great fan of cat shots, this is very very composed and meets the theme and the colors and texture are wonderful; I'd buy a print and gift it to one of my cat friends! Congratulations.

Please, a good score

good connection with the theme; best IMO among the spiritual images; good sharpness ; wish the background was blurred out a little. Nice job.

i gave you a 7 at first; but the more I see this image the more I realize that my initial impression that the DOF is too shallow and the lighting a llittle too dark has now changed: the DOF and lighting on the left breast gives this image an artistic mystery and makes one use your imagination. This nude is artistic and done in ecellent taste. Congratulations
