I understand that parents love their kids and all that, but this is not exactly a nude, is it?

The light is not particularly inspiring, and I think this image has more novelty-value than anything else. Did you try it in black and white?

V. cool, but somewhat grainy (i kind of like it, though) and seems to have little or nothing to do with actual nudity. As a nude, however, it is a good shot, but perhaps you should have considered a square shot, and included more of her back?

The border kind of works, but pulls the entire attention away from the picture itself.

It looks as though she is a readhead and has freckles on her arms. If this is the case, I would like to argue that you have wasted a model with infinite potential - get in close, show her characteristics.

When that has been said, I must say that you have chosen an unconventional way to hide her nude parts - which is cool. Not at all sure about the lighting, though.

Seems blurry and I am not too sure about the lack of light in his face. The pose also seems very unnatural, and a black border around a black picture seems to make very little sense. Cool title and good model, though. Perhaps the image would have more impact if he looked straight into the camera lens.

Not the most natural post I have ever seen, but it is a cool idea. Beware of sharpening your images too much (look the outline on the arm on the left side)

Tastefully done. You get the idea of a flower about to break open. I bloody hate the border, though.

Reflecting on Anna

A very cool effect. Although I see this more as a montage than a "post-shot-adjustment", so I'm afraid that loses you the 10 from me. However, I wouldn't be the least surprised if it won the challenge.

Very cool, but I think you have gotten a little over-zealous with PS in this one.
