Comment by Jutilda:
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.

Haha, this will create an outcry from the anti-nudity DPC'ers. I am giving this a 10 to offset the 1's you're going to get. As far as the photo, the background is a bit distracting, a black background would have worked better in my opinion.
