Interesting image and great pose. The focus seems a little soft, but other than that... great image!

Erotica circa 1928... Great execution and post-processing. Kudos on a great image. If I were voting I would easily give this a 9 or 10.

Wow! You spend a LOT of time on this one. Conceptually I like it. I'm not a huge fan of the brown background and lack of flowers on the left half of the model, but then again it does have a bit of a retro feel to it. The background is personal taste and I can easily overlook it because I do feel like you accomplished your goal to provide us with an image that is straight out of the 1970's.

I like the pose, composition, even the somewhat soft focus. The model is beautiful. The image as a whole is a little flat. A levels and/or curves adjustment would work wonders on this image to provide more depth and contrast.

A great image and I love the composition. The NeatImage is simply way too much. Skin has texture to it and in an image like this, the viewer should be able to SEE that texture... almost to the point where they can almost feel that texture. Cut back on the NeatImage and bump up the contrast, and you've got a fantastic shot!!!

I like this wonderful high-key image. The lighting is very nice and the composition is superb. The model looks borderline uncomfortable, but when I look again, she seems pensive. Maybe if she relaxed her right hand a little more, the pose would seem more natural.

I'm not a big fan of this type of photography, but that's personal taste. From a technical standpoint, it's a pretty good image. The only nitpick I have is the placement of the model in the frame. She is slightly off-center which throws the whole image off. Perhaps if you had her more on the left 1/3 of the image or dead center, it would be better. As it is right now, you're somewhere in between.

Beautiful image. It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of maternity photography and I think you've pulled this one off wonderfully. The composition is great, the lighting is spot on. The focus feels just a tad soft, but other than that... Perfect shot!!!

I Was Wrong...

Honestly I'm not a big fan of this one. There seems to be conflict between "soft" and "harsh". The grainy treatment gives it a "harsh" feeling, however the soft floor, soft focus, and lack of contrast do not blend well with the visible grain.

Well, what can I say... I'm not voting so don't worry about me casting a low vote, but the challenge is "Nude", not "Naked". Although this is an interesting take on the challenge, I feel you have gone outside of the realm of creative interpretation into an area that's just plain silly. It would be interesting to see a "naked" challenge because then creative interpretations would be welcome IMHO.
