Greetings from the Critique Club

I can see what you are trying to do with this image, only sadly, I don't think it works too well. If this was for a different challenge I'm sure you would have scored much higher. Technically the image is OK, although I might be tempted to boost the midtones a bit with a levels adjustment. I took the liberty of tweaking it myself in Photoshop and did manage to make it pop a little bit more.

I think the main reason you didn't make it to a 5, is the subject matter. This is the Free Study and typically there is an incredibly high standard of excellent images every month. To score well in a free study, you do really need to have an image that will wow the voters, sadly this does not do that, even if it is a perfectly competent photograph.

Look how many views you got because it's posted in nude! And I'm still not convinced it's not a Self Portrait! :)

Maybe it's British humour Will, I certainly got where you were going with this one.
