Very crisp. Something about the shading bothers me, but I love that the beatle casts a shadow. Makes me think about the life in the garden we don't see. Well Done.

Very good use of light and colour (or lack of it). In my top 3 for this challenge. Personally I wouldn't have used the frame and the background is too stark and looks unnatural.

Superior title..... a state of awareness difficult to attain! I imagine the model with her eyes closed..... sees the rapture. I see a remarkable translucent metalic bronze coloured garment...... contrasting with the b and w - fetus position of the attractive woman............ The white backgound is utilitarian, but appropriate.

I love everything about this, except for the colored earring... Somehow, I personally find it distracting (perhaps it's just me, I don't find the colored garment distracting in any way...) Lovely tones, great use of the blown-out white background.
