This is a very strong idea. I love the thought process behind this image. This photo needs a little perfection in the exposure though. There is some blurriness that appears to be motion blur which is causing it to be unsharp. "Soft Focus" would be nice here as well, but the 'out of focus' is not quite the same thing. The dark background is a good choice for subject separation, but it could possibly stand to be a little darker as well.

This is an interesting alternative idea. I hope it doesn't get pounded too harshly by the 'in your face' challenge voters :)

This composition and subject lends itself nicely to b/w. I believe that a little more contrast could be nice also. I also can't determine why you chose not to put this image in sharp focus... maybe its a little motion blur, but a soft focus, even if intended, would contradict your title to some extent.

I don't really understand your intent with this photo. Your model is certainly beautiful. The environment in which you chose to photograph her is not particularly appealing, and the spotty sunlight is quite harsh.

This is a neat photo and I think your choices for lighting work relatively well. You have done an excellent job of creating 'nudity' where there is none. This type of creativity is to be commended :)

This is certainly a cute photo. As an outsider, this photo doesn't hold much appeal to 'me'. This is a relatively common type of family photo and it doesn't hold any specific qualities that would draw me in as an outsider.

The light here is not very flattering. Flash is rarely a good sole source of light for this type of photo...

I'm having a problem finding anything particularly interesting in this composition. Maybe if it was not underexposed, the muscle/texture detail would be a stronger element of the image. The color itself is not really strong enough to support the entire theme.
