You 'weren't allowed'? How does that happen!?

The lack of a real focal point is a bit off-putting for me. lighting is a little dark, making the object the model is holding a little too difficult to make out.

On His Mark

Interesting shot. Just when you think you've seen most poses, something a little new comes along. A little harsh on the contrast, and I'm not a fan of the magenta hint to the toning here.

Ah yes, the gratuitous baby bum shot. Did you make sure to put a little petroleum jelly on that poor boy so the log didn't chafe him too much? lol.

Nicely lit, albeit in a bit of cliche pose. I guess they're all cliche these days no?

My personal preference would have been to see the model making eye-contact in this instance. Would have given the image a kind of power. Not something that'll drop my score though. Could have raised it maybe, but certainly isn't going down.

The Splender of Summer

While technically applicable to the challenge, the connection is just a little too tentative, the title unfitting, and the feel is that of "I just want something for this".

Reminds me a bit of an old magazine. I like the lay of the background, but the toning and contrast on the model are just a little strong.

Fire

A nicely presented study of light and erotica. Not very deep, but such things seldom are. lighting might be just a tad harsh on the upper chest, detracting a little from the fire like tones.

Reflections

A photo that has a few deeper layers than first appear. The reflection is like a statue bronzed, and one doesn't really notice the hint of more naturally toned legs unless one spends a little more time with the photo. Then, with a further study, you notice that the reflection has no head or face. An anonymity preserved, a mystery among the jagged rocks.
