Beautiful light. There's something very classical in the composition and the lighting. The model's ribs stand out as sort of anachronistic, given the style- one expects a more, well, Rubenesque figure.

Pleasing shot, simple and well lit.

The model looks nearly as cold as some of the lemons :-)

Not sure about the deviant lemon with the nipple ring . . is there a seperate social commentry about how this piercing makes it stand out from the crowd, or maybe it's been rejected by them . . will we ever know for sure? good shot - hope the lemon finds friends of it's own :-)

ha, why lemons? :D

mabe without them I'd lke this image better, allthough,... mm, maybe I do like it. lighting is awesome, also the smooth and white skin of your model is nice. focus on the lemons is a good choice, I think.

The blue in the bottom of the bowl really makes this photo "jump" !

Great work.

Generally I do not mind visible ribs, having been very thin for a long time myself. Here I think because the ribcage is in the center of the shot, the pattern of shadows competes for attention. Possibly light from a different angle, or angling the body would help? Or really, just a different composition would probably do a lot, since it wouldn't be in the center anymore. But I do realize that would make your shot totally different, and I do like it. (I should also add that I think the body is beautiful! Very graceful and elegant.)

Oh gosh, I just noticed the ring on the lemon on the left! How totally awesome!!

I think you did a great job with lighting. The dark areas of the body on the right and left blend into the negative space in a really cool way. The colors are great. This is an image where it looks like the levels are a bit off but instead of that being a problem, it actually works very nicely.
