Nubian Warrior Priestess.

Full-on nude shot! The lighting is pretty harsh though, I think a softer presentation (in terms of lighting) would have been better. The eye contact is marred by the head-dress and it looks strangely photoshopped into place (probably due to a shadow-based adjustment) - just trying to get my head around how it stands out so much. You've nailed the focus on the eyes though and the deep black background really isolates your subject.

For me? Probably not. It's a fair response to the challenge but the selective desaturation and the white vignette do your charming subject no favours. Having said that, the detail you have captured of the chimp is quite marvellous.

Been a while since I've been able to play spot-the-LVicari in a Free Study.

(I'd have got it even without the goggles!)

Little has changed, I bet you are still beating me.

Pictures of ornaments never float my boat. The shadow work is quite interesting though.

Hmmm... Even if I did trust you, I'm pretty sure you this image isn't your finest photographic hour! Stick a dark vignette, some grain, a contrasty monotone presentation on those digits and it might fly, but.... ;-)

I'm not adverse to images like this, I generally love ambiguity in images but I confess I'm struggling a little here.

Strong composition and great 70s coloration. It's a fine response to the challenge but, in my opinion, a bit limited in its overall impact.

Bold, fill-the-frame composition. Pretty well executed but a bit unimaginative.

The Nude and the Voyeur

This is a strong gallery shot - I like it for that. Broadly it hits the nude theme (of course) and it is well-constructed but I think it does side-step the genre.

Interesting composition and I think you lit the figure pretty well. Strong tones too. Overall though I think it lacks a bit of edge/drama.
