Your take on this erotic novel is less daring than an Édouard-Henri Avril for instance; it's a well taken picture where the shadows make it more interesting.
I would crop a little from the top of the head and right of the image for more concision

Ummmm ....

.... here's an example of what I'd think of for this novel.

This

... or maybe even this.

Either a classy pose (with clothes), or subdued erotic (like the movie poster linked above).

Just my opinion. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Comment by Cory:
Not familiar, but it seems she was a prostitute. Also not sure this is really a novel, and not sure it's a classic.

I guess the model here could be a prostitute.. Sure why not...

However, the image overall seems... meh. Lighting is harsh, and speckled from tree cover.. Pose is ok, but not great either.

I'll give some extra points for fit, and take some for finish. 5

Comment by Bear_Music:
This isn't working for me at all. Chalk it up to latent prudery if you want, but I find the image profoundly unappealing. The expression, especially, is quite disturbing. I suppose the image meets the challenge, in the sense that the book's about a prostitute and it's quite bawdy, but for me "bawdy" inspires a sense of rough-and-tumble fun (the book displays a tremendous amount of risque humor), and this doesn't incorporate that element.

Regardless, the image is not technically especially well done, either in lighting or in pose, IMO. I'll give it a 5, which is what I give any image in this challenge that seems to me to MEET the challenge.

Anyone who shoots birds (feathered kind or not) is ok in my books :)Wonderful form, bokeh and catch light. I'd maybe work a bit on the gloss and denoise of it as that is what DPC wants. Then again who am I to judge? My wild birds battle to ribbon here...

I love this and you could have some fun with this in advanced editing.

Comment by tvsometime:
Yes quite a "classic" as I remember. This certainly suggests the raw sexuality of the book, but I think the thong is an anachronism. Better wearing nothing at all if a period piece of undress isn't available. Also I think the book was an indoor setting, so the leafy shadows don't fit either. But enough nitpicking. The challenge was to draw inspiration, and that you've done. Clearly, in a most elemental way. 5 for a lovely breast.

Comment by posthumous:
this is indeed appropriate to the book. I like the look she's giving DPC. It says "Screw you!" There's not much to commend this as an image, but at least it has a message with some oomph, so I'll give you a 6.

I can't vote on this one, but I love the warm colors and the beautiful tones you have achieved in this image. Good work! The numbers on the shuttered windows provide just the right touch!

I get it, the tattoo doesn't do much for the shot but it works.
Not too shabby.
