Excellent lighting. I love the DOF and color. The gradient background works wonderfully.

This is a very unique image and I think you've pulled off a difficult shot splendidly. The lighting is wonderful and the statement is very compelling. I even kind of like the purplish background although I think I might prefer a simple black do draw more attention to the subject. The hair, back, and arm on the model appear to be "blocky" on my monitor and may suffer from resizing problems and/or overprocessing of some sort. Other than that... GREAT JOB!!! Very creative!!!

Lady in Red

The lighting is certainly nice, but the pose does nothing for me. I understand why you've done the selective desaturation and the concept might work under different circumstances but the way it is, I'm left wondering why is the "Lady in Red" lying on the ground in what appears to be a "hold up" position and a hat on her face?

Very nice capture. The models expression is perfect and I love the processing treatment you have done. Good job!

I really like this image, particularly the simplicity of the pose and the duality of the title. The color works well, but the focus seems a bit off and there is some visible noise. The soft focus would work without the noise and the noise would work without the soft focus but the two combined take away from the image IMHO.

Nice capture but I feel this particular image may benefit from a "darker mood". A black background would help but I would not change the lighting a bit. Good job on lighting, focus seems a little soft.

Very nice image of an intimate moment captured in a delicate and tasteful way. The warm tones add much to the image and I'm glad you didn't try to go with a stereotypical black and white.

The core of the problem

A very interesting spin on the challenge. A bit of a comedic look on the original sin. Personally I'm not a huge fan of this for several reasons, but the idea does have merit. I'm afraid you'll get some low votes since this is not a "true nude".

Very spooky image. I like the concept and execution. The pink rimlight was a nice choice.
