very dynamic feel caused by the angled position and the lighter parts in the background. Good use of light and shadow, I really like it, in my top 3.

Whoa. Beautiful shot! Is that a radial blur that you used on the right?

I love this shot!

I love this one. I wish the area where the finger is, to the left, weren't showing a fuzzy, pale blob...

What a wonderful concept this piece of photographic art is! Very well constructed image. I love how the angled lines of the walls, the lines of the bars your model is resting on, and especially the lines of the models body (legs and arms) all lead to and emphasize her derierre. The choice of dark black clothing giving her a formless and unappealing shape, along with her distant and disgusted gaze upward give us the first clues as to what this photo is NOT about...it's not about sensuality. The choice of pose is classic for the idea of feminine beauty and along with the distance of her bottom to the toilet seat and paper dispenser alert us to the conflict a woman may undergo seeing herself as beautiful while at the same time having to address her more earthy aspects and possibly the dismay she feels at the thought of telegraphing it through the olfactory sense. As if she wishes she could seperate herself from the act. Well done.

What a terrific shot. The moment was captured perfectly. The DOF is right on with just enough interest in the background to frame the subject.

I can't believe this hasn't gotten any comments. I think this is a great photo. I like the muscularity and strength of the model, and the awkward/graceful pose. The hair swinging around the tatoo and the red shoes are great. Focus and compositon are good. Personally, I'd give this one an 8.
