This gorgeous shot just reminds me how cold it's going to be in NJ soon. Great colors and what an unusual and nicely seen foreground.

Terrific shot. Best of the series by far. She should be pretty thrilled with this one.

I maybe would have show a bit more of the body, but I do like the way you've used the soft focus, and I think the colors of the sheet are very complimentary.

The pose and crop are okay and the model is beautiful, but the lighting makes you look a little bit like you're made of wax. More flattering light could have done wonders for this shot and model. Not a bad effort at all though.

I think this pose and lighting would have benefitted a bit by having a background. The crop on the face is sort of in an odd spot and the lighting is a little harsh, so maybe if there was an attractive background it could help to make the image a little more pleasing. As it is it's a beautiful model and a decent pose....just something is lacking for me to make it a great shot.

I like the dof here and also the soft, muted colors. Maybe just a tad bit of the face showing would be nice, even out of focus so it wasn't just a pile of hair. Background by her legs is very nice.

I like the pose very much, it's different. The processing is a bit odd but isn't too distracting. Your're maybe a half stop hot on the nose but the exposure on the rest of the body is great. Don't like to see her fingers cut off on the right arm but overall a great nude.

You've lit this in a pretty interesting way. The earrings add a nice touch. I would maybe like to see just a little splash of light on the ground so it doesn't look like you're floating. Nice photo!

Nice use of shadows here.

Probably the most unusual and artistic photos in the challenge. I like the mood you've set and the entire scene. It might not fit the challenge as well as some other shots, but it fits and it's obviously well thought out. Very artsy.

Praise aside, I'll find some things to criticize.....The whole scene looks very 1890's to me....until you get to the clothed woman on the right. She almost seems out of place.

The other thing I'd like to see more of is the person in the lower left. Too much detail is lost there I think. All in all a fantastic image.
