i really like the bondage overtones in this image. the colors, and naked skin all compel me to look at the picture :)

Very interesting. I like the setup and concept, and particularly like the composition.

Great clarity in this shot. The texture of the skin as well as the lights not being to blown out is excellent. I'm actually bumping up this score. The more I look at it the better I like it. Your cropping is good and interesting, only trouble is the strand of hair up in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Nice photo.

Nice composition, although I think it would have worked better in B&W. Great job, nevertheless.

Greetings from the Critique Club!!

Initially, I wasn't sure what I was looking at. The texture of the snow seemed to throw me off a bit. I like the feel of the shot and compositionally it is very good. I have a problem with the black section at the top. I think it sets the photo up well but the reflective "sparkles" in the black seem out of place. However, I think that overall the sparkles give this a magical feel.

The other problem I have is with the twig/tree in the right foreground. It seems to me that it could have been a bit more substantial to add to the photo. Color and lighting are very good.

Overall, a very nice shot that certainly meets the challenge. I don't think it is quite a "wow" photo but ultimately belongs in the top 20% where it finished. Nice Job!

Interesting shot. I like the lighting a great deal. the green and red are done wonderfully. those two yellow bulbs take away from the christmas green and red theme though. I think I would have liked it more if those yellows weren't yellow.

I love the red light around the back that can be seen under the arm. The only drawback for me is that the skintone and background are too similar in tone and almost blend - although you may have intended that so I won't take away for it. The shadow on the shoulder is a bit distracting. Interesting shot = 7

i like the composition, and the detail and texture of the skin. i like the lighting, both the left lighting and the Christmas lightse. very original. i would give more rating points if the overall tone was not as green.
