her skin

An engaging use of shadow. A great job of controlling the amount of noise as well, especially considering the dark environment. The only thing I don't like is how the elbow is clipped on the left hand side - I would rather see the entire arm, with an appropriate amount of empty space between the statue and the left edge of the frame.

Well.. How about my skin?

The subject matter is very engaging. His pose and facial expression are wonderful. I wish the eyes were in sharper focus though, and I'm not a fan of the background in this image - it's distracting and look poorly post processed.

I find the color and lacklustre lighting overwhelms the photograph, as well the focus is a bit scatter shot and not well defined.

I like the choice of subject matter - the different visual textures of the flower are very eye-catching.

A very nice image. The soft focus compliments the subject matter, though I would have liked to have seen the center of the flower a bit sharper.

I like the bokeh in this image. The stamen could use a bit more sharpess.

Very nice! The green of the bottle plays well against the white background. I also like the way the lighting is implemented.

The only suggestion I have is to give thought to filling the empty space on the bottle immediately below the sing tao lettering. A label of some sort or perhaps a quick spray or two from a water bottle?

Nice detail and vivid colors. A sharper image would have helped things along.

A little on the dark side in my opinion.

I like the level of blur, however it seems to be taken a bit to the extreme, coming across as a drawing rather than a photograph.

I like the subject matter. The deep orange shade of the flower plays nicely against the black seeds.

The image need a bit more sharpening though and I'm thinking another shot at reframing the image might help the pictures overall strength and impact.

Silky smooth as in a tie, or were you thinking something else?

I like the overall composition.

Not clear though on what message the models expression is supposed to convey to the viewer.

I'm also not fond on the shadow on the wall - it's a bit of a distraction.
