I can not help but look at this shot and feel mildly insulted for myself and others that actually had the courage to enter a nude shot into this challenge. Most of us are not glamour or nude photographers and it took a lot of effort to put in a serious shot. In any other challenge I would consider this thinking outside the box. In this challenge I see it as a slap in the face. Just MHO.

Truthfully, I didn't like the pose at all. I doubt I would have liked it if it was one of Dr Jones Models WITH the skin.

The shadows, as well as the choice of background are distracging, and the flower(?) is hard to see.

What is with the full frontal nudity here? Maybe a hair light and a light give the eye sockets some sparkle would have made your subject more lively looking.

Well, I guess this is as nude as one can get... The lighting is a bit harsh (some of the highlights are blown), and the background is a bit distracting (would have been less visually confusing with a solid color). The pose is nice, very natural, and the addition of the flower really 'makes' the photo! The red spot is a wee bit distracting, but I like the lighthearted approach to the challenge. 7.

lol. Nice flower. It looks like a pillow would help the pose a little and relieve some pressure on the neck. The shadows I find a little distracting. Good luck!
