Interesting study on texture. The curve vs. the diagonal line with the undulating leaves is interesting. Hmmm - maybe too busy if that makes sense.

not crazy about the obvious vignetting, but a very pleasing photo otherwise. 7

Ah - this was you: are you familiar with John Coplans' work? This has nuances of some of his portraits and self-portraits. Don't I wish we could have had a truly "Unromanticised Nude" Challenge, or Nude Abstract. The plastic nudes leave me unmoved...obviously I'm a minority vote. But the real beauty of flesh as it takes on life, is a powerful subject. A bold, brave entry.

I wonder if these items ever got an award for design, because they should have.
Nice toning, background adds interest but it hurts the image a bit that the horizon is in the middle. 7

Nice picture, but I wish (it was legal) you could have removed the extra weather vanes, vetry distracting, taking up space in the composition.
