Comment by DrJOnes:
I feel this photo could have used minor adjustments here and there to make it better. For instance, the jaw could have been more relaxed, maybe with the mouth opening a little. As it is, the face looks a bit crisp (probably due to the nervosity of being naked and photogrpahed- I see this often with my models). The crop at the top could have been closer to the head as well. On the positive side, the use of the shallow depth of field is perfect for this type of shot, putting emphasis ont he model instead of the surroundings. Nice use of monohrome color. Very nice skin details. The angle of the model's pose is nice too but... I feel it is missing something- or perhaps it looks too staged, unnatural. I think the action of the model is missing a purpose. I find myself wondering why she is touching her breast because I can't see what the model feels... Is it joy? Pleasure? Sensuality? I dont know because I don't feel any of these looking at this photo. Do you see what I mean? The lighting is very nice. Congrats on tentering the nude challenge! Keep it up! 6

I like this. Do women really often grabs their own breasts when they're naked and not posing for pictures? I always wondered that. In my expereince it isn't the case. Still, this looks natural enough, if a little posed. The shade of the duotone may be a little off for a sunbathing situation, but I'm not sure what would improve it. Nice work. One of the best so far!

Very nice. I love the shallow dof, pose and expression is excellent (doesnt look forced at all). Perfectly sharp and I love the greenish sepia tone. My one and only 10 for the challenge. Great shot.

Perfect tone, dof and pleasing lighting (not to mention the subject :). I think this is the best picture of the challenge.

I am glad the water stayed in the aquarium while you took that photo, I hope it stayed there over the night after the shooting too :-) Great photo tho! 10

The horizon seems to be off a bit. Great idea and a very nice pic. The blue color is great.

It looks like you dropped the glass in some water with water inside glass.
The adjusted the colors to only produce blue.
Great trick. Was I right or wrong.
The spot right on lower part of glass seems to have not cover completely. 9
