Interesting angle. Would like to see more of the face, especially the eyes.

A most excellent shot. Very 'arty'. Love the textures in the shot.

This one makes me smile. Whoever she is, she looks very happy and confident in her own skin (to misuse a phrase). This feels like it was a fun photo shoot, and I like that you've shown that even non-traditional models can be very beautiful. Only thing that detracts for me is that I would like to have seen more of her face. 9.

Love the composition on this! Everything works here - lighting, pose, expression, title, pillow. Really great shot.

after...

Makes me wonder "After what?", which is the point, I suppose! Interseting textures in this pic, and the only thing that I see that really distracts me is that there seems to be a yellowish cast to the lighting... could be intentional, tho, so I'm not marking off for that.

Had to smile when I saw this. Love, absolutely love the concept! Very natural pose at the window - doesn't feel forced. makes you feel as though you really are there behind the wall and that this isn't a set-up.

Surfacing

The way the water reflects the light onto the model is very surreal, very abstract. I'm not sure that I'd care to have this hanging in my house; this is more the sort of thing you'd find in an art gallery. Very interesting photo. I keep looking at the pic trying to find words to describe how I feel about it, but I can't really think of anything - I just want to keep looking at it. It kind of sucks you in and makes you really want to just study it.

Beauty From Within Itself

The only thing I dislike about this pic is the lighting. The light falling on the arm and leg needs to be softened a little (so the highlights aren't so blown), and this could really benefit from a bit of backlighting or a hairlight to separate her head from the background. I like the pose, and the skin tones are nice.

Nude Reclining

Well, I guess this is as nude as one can get... The lighting is a bit harsh (some of the highlights are blown), and the background is a bit distracting (would have been less visually confusing with a solid color). The pose is nice, very natural, and the addition of the flower really 'makes' the photo! The red spot is a wee bit distracting, but I like the lighthearted approach to the challenge. 7.
