THis shot is impeccibly well lit. Great pose that leaves much to the imagination but still evokes much feeling. Great use of the square crop. The graininess gives the shot an even more gritty emotional feel. The only nit I have to pick is that you lost the fingertips of the right hand in the black material. Great job!

Great tonality and very interesting lighting. It's quite obvious that you spent a good amount of time on the lighting and set up. I personally don't understand the underlying story as I'm not familiar with the name in the title. I do think though that the white border doesn't add to the shot and because of it's brightness compared to the shot it draws my eye out of the frame. Good work. I appreciate the effort that went into this shot.

Shadows

Great lighting! Great exposure. I even like the non traditional framing which I usually don't appreciate. In this instance I think it actually adds to the shot instead of stealing some of it's impact. Good work.

I appreciate the thinking outside of the box that you used for this photograph. It is a great illusion and would have done fantastic in that challenge. I do however feel slightly cheated as a photographer when I see this shot in this challenge as it took a lot of courage for me and my model to enter a more traditional style of nude shot. Nice shot overall with awesome lighting. I just personally don't think it fit's the challenge in this instance.

In your dreams...

I like the soft focus that you used here, but my eye is confused by the shadows behind the model. You lose some of the definition of the form, in effect making the focus appear softer than it is. If that is what you were attempting you hit it. However it takes away some of the appeal to me as a viewer. I appreciate the effort.

I see what you are trying to do with this shot however my tastes do not lie in this area. I as a viewer can not appreciate this form of the art. What I see is a busy photograph that doesn't lead my eye to a specific point. I do appreciate the effort that was put into it however. It took a lot of work and it shows. Thank you for entering.

Lone Dancer At Window

Very nice take on the challenge. I think that the ever slightest more fill on this side of the model would make this pop even more. Not actual lighting, but more like a touch of bounce light from the window back to the model. I'm a little put off by the lack of detail in the face. I don't know if your model didn't want to be recognized or if this was an artistic choice. Either way I think the slightest amount of fill would not change your goal but would help greatly with the shot.

Daily Routine

Definately fits the challenge, but not a shot that I personally find all that appealing. I guess I'm a little old school to see artistic merit in such a routine part of life. I'm assuming that you used the flash here to catch the drops. IMHO this gives the shower an odd appearance. I'm surprised that you don't have more harsh shadows behind the rest of the figure...

An Angel Waits

Nice lighting though maybe not dramatic enough to fully bring out the form of your model. You have some very bizarre color banding going on in the background. Almost as if there was a pattern there that I can not figure out. What did you use for a background? I'm sure that you are getting comments about this not being a nude shot. I am not sure it fits the challenge myself. Nude doesn't have to be totally naked but should at least give the illusion of it IMHO.
