Very good photo, I like the background a lot and how you've burned it, good use of lights, well done. Maybe if the model would have looked a bit more towards to the light, bringing more light to the face of the model, would have improved it, but I'm not sure, it could then maybe just take to much of attention to the face. This is definately one of the best in this challenge, maybe even a ribbon photo imo.

Lovely shot. Great colors and tone. I'd like to see a little less shadows on her face. Bumping from 7 to 9

Great pose, & the border adds to it. Good background as well. 9

This photo touches me on many levels; as a father, a portrait photographer, art lover. This was the only photo in this challenge I even commented on. Nothing else seemed too 'artistic'. Thanks for submitting a shot that wasn't for the sake of the challenge, and wasn't gratuitous and lame. Perfect lighting for a wonderfully candid nude.

Nicely done. The lighting is very nice. I like the title chose, but the image has more of a mysterious feel to me with the way she is in the dark and peering over her shoulder. I think the image is straight, but the board behind her back may be crooked and it's making the images feel as though it's tipping to the right. It's probably just me, though. :-) Beautiful model. What a great image to add to the baby book.

Beautiful picture, Beautiful model!
Background could take a bit more attention, either hide it, or make it out of focus enough so it is not visible.
