I'm surprised, almost disappointed, that this didn't do better for you. I really like it (it was one of my top picks this challenge); the skin tone doesn't bother me at all (I know lots of women with light/pale skin, and don't think skin has to be tan to be beautiful). I also like the unique take on the challenge, and I think the dark blue contrasts nicely with your wife's light skin and the red background.

i like the idea of it and the fact that you can't tell it is a nude person is nice but i am not so sure it is good for this challenge.

Comment by hanneke:
the skin-tone seems a bit off, and the photo doesn't really look sharp enough for me.

Comment by LeeD:
Nice idea but lacking somewhat in execution. The DOF is a bit shallow and the exposure was a tad long making the flame of the candle a bit overpowering.

It's more about the candle than the nude.
