I have been drawn to this repeatedly. I love the eye contact with the model & the viewer.

this looks like a renaissance painting. I love the soft treatment. I probably would have had her take out her nosepin though, seems out of place. very nicely done.

This reminds me of a painting - she's just so beautiful and the pose is somewhat Rubenesque. Note I don't mean that she's fat, I mean she looks sensuous. You've captured that very well. I think background lets this shot down a lot though, especially the edge of the bed being in frame.

Very nice classic rendition. The only negative I see is the bottom right corner. wish the bed was not cut off there.

I wasn't sure about this when I first saw it, but her face keeps drawing me back. It's so well focussed and would be an excellent portrait even if it was just her face. It really reminds me of the rubenesque paintings - it's just beautiful. Well done [7]

wowey, this photo is so reminiscent of a Victorian painting.

Many good things here and probably the image with the most potential I have seen thus far.

The soft focus is perfect - many try this but seldom get it right. The colors are to die for, muted a touch but with a vast range of differences.

Facial expression is Victorian and perfect for the photo - almost innocent i feel.

My gripes are with her lying on a bed - a nice chair or old settee would be more fitting I feel rather than everyday sheets. You can see all the crease etc in the sheet which takes a little away from the photo. 9

Apart from that though - this is top notch!

Wow, she's beautiful and that stare! That stare is what gets me. I love the soft focus and it's been used very well here. I only wish the edge of the bed/couch/whatever wasn't visible in the bottom right. Still, I give it a 9.
