One of the most interesting and provocative submissions. Pure studio nudes wouldn't normally come to mind as a subject for contre-jour but you pulled it off in a most fascinating and appropriate way. There probably will be a few, not many, voters that feel studio shots cannot be contre-jour but the quality of your image will carry the day. Your model is attractive, you flattered her in composition, particularly with her facial lighting. BW is good and tones are excellent. Sharpness is just right. Great job!

I wont comment abt the technicalities because from that perspective you nailed it, but it looks so obvious that she is holding the light between her legs. That takes a little way from the photo.

like the strategic placing of the light, but the piercings are not tasteful in the least bit.

I̢۪m just not feeling that this is within the Contre-jour technique. Nice shot just not what I think when I̢۪m looking for Contre-jour. Although this I think is every man's dream to find one that glows like that! WOW!!!

If you google contre-jour images, you see one very similar to this. Nice clear B&W.

I think I just about got myself fired for looking at this. Haha. It's very nice though. I love the clarity. Good use of b&w.

Holding a flashlight isn't creating the true sense of contre jour. There should be a light source illuminating her entire back, not the mottled backdrop. The shadow on the left is behind her and it should be in front. If I were critiquing this as just a "normal" photo, I'd have her move away from the background, eliminating the shadow altogether. She's lovely and the tones and contrast are right, but to me, this does not meet the definition of the challenge.
