I like the idea, but the black does nothing for me. White or a warm body in being freed would have expressed the concept better.

Different. I like the texture and the faded yet hicg contrast look. It is an elegant abstract as well as a litteral picture. 9

I like the idea of this shot, but there are a couple of things that IMHO could make it just a bit more powerful...a discernable body instead of the blackness, and making the diagonal just a bit more angled up on the right end (corner to corner). The lightest parts of the jeans are a bit bright on the bottom right corner. Good idea...:o)

Boy do I know that feeling. The bottom of the shot appears a little blown out and perahaps a color other than black might have worked better, but the point is well made.

Love the focus on such a small detail. Composition is just prefect. Great choice to have model wear black Tshirt so that shadows and Tshirt merge. Texture and colour are excellent. Given how often I have to slip open the top button when eating too much in one or another restaurant I can really identify with the feeling of freedom this image conveys! 8

Hmmm... Beer. This is a nice shot. Not to busy, not to pushy. It's just right. In fact, I am seriously considering checking with my local "eccentric" liquor store to see if they carry this... If one DPC'er likes it, I am sure it has to be good...
