"Bear" Naked

"Bear" Naked is a great entry into the Nude IV challenge. I think you did an excellent job of keeping the image tasteful and fun.

Overall the image is very pleasing, I think black and white was an excellent choice. The coloring (or lack of color) allows the image to stay simple and clean, nothing too distracting. The composition is very nice. I really like that you included the banister, instead of just having your model floating out in space. I wonder if based on leaving the banister in you were using natural light from a door way. The reason I mention the lighting is it is a bit strong and caused a little bit of a blow out on the bears face. I think overall this probably changed the score, for my self personally it only changed the score by a point. I am sure others would have voted higher based on a softer lighting.

I think this was a wonderful entry and hopefully your model would agree and let you continue to enter the challenges because you defiantly have a creative eye. Also I just have to say for your first nude this is an excellent job! I think being able to photograph nudes is one of the hardest challenges.

Wow what an amazing rock you were able to capture in this shot. The background is also a very nice contrast to the subject.

You know what? you could use some shaving as well ;)

Wow awesome shot! This is excellent, espcially since you probably weren't able to control the environment.
