heyah, adi!

boy, i would hate to put myself in a position of feeling sorry for 250-300 people...

this is the toughest part of the 'challenge'--interpreting it in a way that connects with people, while being true to yourself. sometimes, it just isn't going to happen. you are happy with this image, and that's fine. you probably know the things you could have done WITH THIS IMAGE/SUBJECT to have scored higher (title, less sharpening, both animals in focus, etc), but it was your decision to render it this way. don't waste time feeling sorry for those that you didn't connect with well enough to get your point across. just go out and shoot something else.

great idea, love the colors, wish you had had a firmer mattress. the creases and wrinkles really take away from an otherwise remarkable, unique image.

the stripes distract. also, given that this was advanced editing, you could have healed out the tan lines.

this would have been much better without the plant growing out of her head...

Glimpse

Comment:
a little too blown out in the highlights. the creases in the wrist and above the breast make the pose seem forced (not to mention the expression). the image says "don't look at me" a lot louder than "look at me".

Navel Sensations

Comment:
nice attempt. it seems the hand could be a bit more relaxed (and you probably could have stood not to have cropped off the finger tips). the background on the left is fairly distracting--that should have been blurred into something smooth. also could have offered just a bit more than the torso (not a lot, just a bit).

Self-Oppression

Comment:
this would probably have been stronger vertically, and with a bit of light down the back. as is, it's more 'topless' than 'nude'.
