Whoa. This one blew me away. Beautiful saturated blues, great composition, nice tonal arrangement. Definitely feels "cold". 10

Didn't get a chance to comment during the challenge, but I thought this was wonderful, not only for the fabulous tones and detail (you can see every strand of their hair, even...) but also for the feelings it provokes. Really took me back to those old days of high school. :) I gave it a 9. Fabulous.

I love everything about this, except for the colored earring... Somehow, I personally find it distracting (perhaps it's just me, I don't find the colored garment distracting in any way...) Lovely tones, great use of the blown-out white background.

The tones and lighting in this shot are just beautiful, as is your dof separating the model from the background. Beautiful detail in her hair, and it's nice to see a head attached to a body. I'd love to see more from this session - this pose feels a bit uncomfortable to me, as if she's a bit too tense while leaning back. (I want to reach my hand out for her to lean on so she can relax. Possibly something I'm reading into it that isn't there - only a minor nit-pick.) Other than that, you've got the tones down perfectly and the composition perfect, as well as a gorgeous model.

Somewhat reminicent of a beautiful photo by one of my favorite photographers that can be seen here: //www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=308079 I think that, perhaps, by playing with a more dynamic composition, this would be a 10. Striking, well lit, and gracefully done. 7

Interesting composition, I really like the high contrast. I normally don't care much for this much use of a filter, but this image brings out such a feeling of intimacy that it gets a straight 8 from me. Nice, creative work.

The more I look at this, the more I like it. It's the best use of the plastic wrap filter that I've ever seen. So unusual. The colors are fabulous. The banana is a stroke of genius, and the way the sliced citrus fruits are reminicent of breasts turns this into art. I originally rated this this a 6, but coming back and looking at it more closely, I'm judging it as "art" rather than straight photography, and I can see it on the wall of an art gallery... I'm bumping my vote to a 10 and may buy a print if you make them available.

I think this is the best male nude of the challenge - a few tiny hot spots, and in the lower left there are some dark spots on the background that are a bit distracting. A bit more play with the lighting and this would have been a 10. I'm giving it an 8 as it is. Nice pose and I like the symmetry.

Beautiful setting, pose, lighting, and the expression you've captured really makes this an outstanding nude portrait and brings life to the photo. The model connects with the camera in a way that is hard to capture, oftentimes. Congrats. Lovely. 9

Can't give this anything but a 10. Grippingly sensual and evocative.
