Super shot - what a pose. Really needs tad more focus on the eyes though and it would be perfect,.

"Pentacle" with Rope
by graphicfunk

Comment:
Now if I had to guess the photographer, I would hazard a guess that it was graphicfunk.

This has a real 70's glam rock vibe to it and I imagine to people that liked that style this would be a perfect ten.

For me it's a bit too unique for my tastes. The model pose is well executed - everything straight and in proportion. The elastic / rope is very well executed again.

the light i would like to see moved toward her front more, casting more light on her sides to give a hint f definition, as it is there isn't enough. the background really isn't to my tastes - but again i can give credit for it's apparent era ;)

I am very unsure about this - it really isn't the kind of photograph i go for (although I can see it's very well made)l, but there is something drawing me to it!!

Man, I saw Tiger woods doing this a few months back and i try it - I can't reach and I am only 28.

The photo is well lit - perhaps a little to much warmth for my tastes. I would also like to see the light reach more, the upper arms need a bit more light on them. The pose is ok - kind of like a stretch rather than a photographic model pose.

A very competent entry, but lacking any wow factor.

wowey, this photo is so reminiscent of a Victorian painting.

Many good things here and probably the image with the most potential I have seen thus far.

The soft focus is perfect - many try this but seldom get it right. The colors are to die for, muted a touch but with a vast range of differences.

Facial expression is Victorian and perfect for the photo - almost innocent i feel.

My gripes are with her lying on a bed - a nice chair or old settee would be more fitting I feel rather than everyday sheets. You can see all the crease etc in the sheet which takes a little away from the photo. 9

Apart from that though - this is top notch!

Study in Purple

Strong back muscles here.

This doesn't do much for me as a photo - the colors are pointless to me, i can't understand why it should have a purple hue to it. some photos work ell with it, but a back doesn't seem to cut the mustard.

Also the pose and location isn't very dramatic - being flat on is kind of depth less and boring.

I would suggest rotating 45 degrees next time, and casting some shadows and depth.

Not a fan of the overly red look - I suggest toning it down just Little with the saturation slider in photoshop. That aside I like the statue you have picked - it gives it a good sense of scale next to the larger one that has faded into the background.

Peaceful

I actually like the grain on this, but something somewhere looks over processed. The pose is well thought out, although having the model rasp her breast is more porno than sexy in my mind - that is fair enough - but when you submit it with the title peaceful it kind of fights that a little.

Overall i like this quite a lot - it does have that sexy quality to it. 8

Out of the Dark

Comment:
very nice and very soft skin. Lighting and pose very delicate which goes with the feel figure well.

My negatives are that her hand is a touch out of focus - it';s a bit of a drawing point so i would expect it to be much sharper. Apart from that I am not a fan of the coloring for some reason -it's a bit dirty looking - almost old brown type. But that is at the bottom, the hands are a nice shade.

8 from me.

Scarred Beauty

Comment:
wow, this is very artful and almost olden in feel. The cold tones and blank expression make this photo really jump out.

Not sure if you need to draw attention to the scarring mind you.
