My chief concern with this image is that it's just too busy. You had a great idea, and it was perfect for the challenge. The problem was the conflicting elements that draw you away from the focus of the shot. The second bike outside the frame is distracting. Additionally the cutoff legs at the top of the frame don't add much, and in many ways distract me from the bike.

Waiting just a few minutes more until a body was in the frame with the bike could have made this far stronger. Still great timing on the overall capture.

Nice! I'd like a little less foreground since it's not doing anything for me. But the light is great. :)

I actually like this one quite a bit. You have three nice strong visual elements in the trees, and I love the mood the fog evokes. You also have an interesting diagonal line going down the middle of the image due to the trees. Well shot.

This shot is all about contrast. Light, shadow, soft and hard, smooth and rough. I like the broody look from the model. I also like the diagonal line you created here. 8

My original kneejerk reaction here was- not nude. :) But coming back and pondering it a bit, I'm drawn in to the subtle nature of the image. I like the toning and slightly high key look. The curve of the body creates a great leading line in the image. The more I look, the more I like. From a 5 to a 9. :)

My favorites of the shower shots. :) Excellent framing, and the embossed glass adds a wonderful element of mystery. Good use of strong lines, both horizontal, vertical and the addition of the diagonal towel. Well done. 8

Classic. A pose straight off a Greek urn. IGreat positioning of the model. I'd be interested to see how this looks with a yellow/gold tone to the modes (like you'd see on some of the vases). But even without the color change- this is beautifully done. 10

My hands down favorite for this challenge. The lighting is great, and I love the slight pink in the clouds. I love the feeling of energy from the model and the whimsical title. The model's physical condition has the feel of a classical Greek or Roman statue, which lends to the appeal of the image. I really just love the feeling of unrestrained joy. Excellent job. One I'd love to have for my walls. 10

Great lines here! I love the repeating patters, texture, and subject choice. My only suggestion would be reshoot at a later/earlier time of day for better light. 9
