It's definitely "Mapplethorpe-inspired" (why haven't I seen any homo-erotic nudity from anyone, by the way?), but it's not quite got his "feel." Nevertheless, a commendable effort.

Gorgeous shot, love the choice of color, the sharp focus. The vase blending to the background clinches it perfectly for me.

This looks like typical Mapplethorpe! Simple, love the hand position, and the expression..well done.

Great capture. I little more contrast and a little more color would've added some real pop to this.

Comment by mycelium:
I have a general bias against waterfall shots the same way that some people have against people in their landscapes - but I like this one. The shape of the water is great. I'd actually be really interested in seeing a differently processed version of this, with the same softness in the water but a sharp focus on the surrounding moss. Pretty please :)

Wonderful image, almost mesmerizing! Love the B&W, nice how the body melts into the background.

Your model is better looking than Warhol. Nice job.
