Alright, he is beautiful ...... but this is a nude challenge and take those trunks off of the lad OK? (grin) Well focused and lit, a noble attempt to fit the challenge of nudes. Did I mention that I am a female voter? (evil grin) Gave you a 7 for his abs.

I came back to this photo a number of times to make sure I gave it the best vote I could given my interpretation of the shot... his eyes are very captivating, his body young and fresh ... I like his pose and your lighting and your pping in general ... kudos to the model!

Of course you know you run the risk of getting low votes when you enter a shot that is not quite a fit with the challenge ....... however, you did a nice job focusing, in composition, and the title is a hoot!

The pping in this shot is very akin to the what I stated in the "why did I sack the maid" ... I kind of have the same feelings ... the pping is a bit over the top .. esp given that it is shot outside and natural light can be so beautiful as is .. but there is no denying the beauty of the model and her comfort level in being nude - she is pure poetry .... again, a tighter crop would increase the comp .. in my opinion only of course ... and the title is cute and fitting!

Excellent ...... I have been commenting on all the shots in this challenge and where I give a lower score, I tried to explain why... can't with this shot as it is one of my higher scoring shots..... well done!

Your pping on this shot is quite good indeed! I do question if the amount of sweat/water beads is too much or not ........ like the shadows and the tonal range but think if you included more of the person the composition would be stronger.

your model seems relaxed and that is a big part of feeling free! Not sure the all white b/g works on this shot but you did a decent job of lighting it well.

I really don't understand why this scored where it did .... it fits the challenge perfectly, is a tender moment caught forever, and it brings out the child in me.

You have a pretty model and the composition is good, except you should lose the headboard coming out of her head like antennae. But it just doesn't hold my interest either visually or thematically. More dramatic lighting would help.

Well, I keep coming back to this photo as it interests me for a few reasons... the position of the sword was a great idea. Had you used a skinny young woman it would not have the same appeal - the shadows and the monochrome tint add drama - this is a photo of a powerful woman who knows it.
