An interesting image that fully meets the challenge
As you say, a nude without any naughty bits, well done. It's a great image, very dynamic and appealing it conveys the liberating moment well, I do love your expression, I can hear you screaming! Whilst I do like the image overall I find the area around your hair very distracting, I assume you have done some deliberate post processing to make the dark hair stand out from the dark background? It doesn't work for me I wish it had been left with it merging naturally into the background.
Your lighting is good it illuminates your body well, nice and evenly with just one small and acceptable highlight on the crossbar. Talking of crossbars, I think you would have made the image even more effective by taping over the name transfer on the bike, it is actually quite distracting and its name doesn't add anything to the end result at all.
I like the natural and unpolished look and I agree with your sentiments about Western norms, by presenting yourself in this natural way you have made the end result much more attractive but I must add that you're in pretty good nick anyway.
Thank you for your great entry, Sid
