I didn't realize it had to follow eBay ToS. The blue ribbon shot certainly doesn't look like a shot that would be on eBay.

I just dunno... my eyes are drawn to the necklace, perhaps I'm just calloused to nudity? I think those that can't get over the breast, are childish, period.

I guess I should have just placed the necklace on a plain white background, flat-lit it and scored better.

Anyway, it doesn't matter, because I'm not going to bend over and take DPC-style. I'll take the ones, but I will create what I like and what I am good at.

I think it's really sad that a large number of voters are automatically scoring down shots simply because of nudity. This particular shot isn't outstanding in my opinion but it is not horrible either and it definitely does not deserve the 1s, 2s and 3s.

I think that if someone is offended by nudity that much, then it may be better if don't vote on it in the first place (similar to how people who are against guns should not be jurors in related cases for example).

I don't know about spoon feeding the masses, but 'early years feeding' certainly appears to be at least a secondary goal of this shot... heheh. if I was a baby, I think I'd be getting the munchies right about now...

PS on a serious note, the make-up seems a bit odd to me. Lipliner? Fade the eyeshadow?

IDK, this kind of seems tacky, if its about the necklace then why is her boob out?

Hrm - there is a red cast to the shadowed side of her face on my screen, it also seems as if you are just putting in nakedness for votes as such a photo is not allowed in the eBay TOS so cant be an example of a photo you might use to buy an item on eBay, nor does it demonstrate the product in a "natural" environment...
Not saying that it isnt a nice photo, the composition/pose and lighting is good, but it just doesnt feel right in this challenge to me.

There is a necklace in the pic?
Excellent lighting, nice skin tones, good pose. Not too sure about the drapery prop?

Gratuitous (and strangely asymetrical) nudity! Alright!
