Nice photo, but your eye doesn't go to the tree. :)

Comment by jrtodd:
I would have liked to have seen the model on the other side of the frame with her face pointing to the empty area of picture, I think I can see that she is looking at the camera, but all the same my eyes run to the left on this photo which is the small side. Also I would have liked her placed more to the top of the frame, her arms and torso provide me with a diving line that is closer to the middle of the frame. Very nice photo and I would guess this is going to finish on the front page.

Somebody always finds a way to work a naked lady into the challenge somehow. :( Certainly the TREE isn't the main subject here. Should be interesting to see how the voting curve works out for this one, with the DNMC being applied.

edit to add, this comment sparked a lively PM debate. ;^)

I like the pose - body and arms/hands, with the tree. The only thing I dont' like is the background. In the upper half(especially left arm/shoulder and face/hair) of her body, which is lighter than lower half the white background isn't pleasing to my eye. 7 - for comp/tecnique/orginality.

Comment by KaDi:
Interesting idea but to accept her as goddess I think the image needs to be more perfect...Detail and sharpness in the tree are lacking. The hair at the top of her head merges with the background and thus has lost it's detail as well. The position of her lower right leg is awkward and looks uncomfortable...as if she's about to be unbalanced. A bit more polished in its presentation and it would have been a ten.

I like the expression on the model's face, as well as the pose. Unfortunately it seems like she is the main subject, rather than the tree. It might have been better to place her in an outside environment rather than having the white background.
