An interesting take on the challenge. I don't think the blue background serves the image well and I would have preferred a more neutral color. I think, for more contrast, the soft focus should not have been used on the apple - it would give a much more sensual appearance to the breast. I like the echo of the red tones and think maybe playing up on that would enhance the image.

The image is a little dark but I really like the use of the reflections in the water. Lighting well done for the subject. A vertical orientation may have worked well with this shot. Like the use of B&W.

I like that you effectively cut the image in half. The lighting is a little flat but focus and DOF are great. I think a POV a little lower would serve the image better.

Technically, this is a nude. I think the focus should have been on the feet rather than the TV to make the feet the subject. Right now, the blurry feet lead your eye to the screen lessening their importance in the image.

Technically this is a nude, so I have to give you that. I like the composition but I feel the tones are a little dark.

Excellent image but I feel you missed the spirit of the challenge topic. The lighting works well, composition good, tones very well done.

While the idea is great and creative, I think this image misses the spirit of the challenge topic. The image itself is good technically.

A reference to the art school? I go back and forth on this image - what I love is, at the same time, what I hate. Guess that's the point. Evoking emotion that is. The pose of the man/boy is submissive. I can almost see a whip in the woman's hand. Must be her stern expression. Wish I had a glimpse of the face of the artist at the lower left. Not that it would add, but I am intregued (sp?) I think your post processing works for the most part. I haven't figured out the significance of the 'professor' being lighted. But again it goes back the submissive pose of the model. Its looks as if a play is being put on, a play for my benefit but I can't quite figure out what I am supposed to take away from it. See - love and hate - I want to take something away but I'm not quite smart enough to figure it out. Ahhh...such is life. A 9 for making me think so much and for being interested enough to want more (the part I hate is not getting the more from the image). I'm afraid, as with anything that requires more than 1/8 of a second, you will suffer at the hands of the voters. Again, such is life.
