Well, sure, it's a nude, but as a candid it doesn't have much life to it. Feels forced and rushed to me.

A little dark, but the theme seems to warrant it. I'd have voted a little higher had I been able to appreciate more of the skin toning however.

I love the subtle hint, and the suggestion of character within the form. A bold and daring risk, which wins me over.

Nice control of lighting, but the pose is just a little too cliche. The baby's smile is a nice touch though. Nothing ultra-special here, but well controlled.

Lighting is a tad on the harsh side for my tastes. Would have made a much better B&W because of it. Pose is uninspired.

A little too confined, which leaves me feeling a bit claustrophobic.

If these walls could only talk.........

A little hyper-processed, which takes any and all focus OFF the subject that the focus should be, in my opinon, on. Or, at the very least, a little more subtle in the distraction.

As a photograph, it's fine. As a nude, it's lacking.
