Female Woody Nude Pose
by smjbmw

Comment:
Your model looks a little stiff; you should try to get her to relax a bit more. The crop is a little bit too close for my liking, and the white stripe along the left side looks like a gap created by rotating the picture slightly after you cropped it.

Cold Embrace

Comment:
The contrast between the warm, soft skin and sheets contrasts nicely with the cold, hard chain. Although this contrast is interesting, the picture suggests no clear reason for the chain's presence, which I think reduces the impact somewhat. I think that the image would be stronger if the end of the chain weren't visible.

Navel Sensations
by smilebig4me1x

Comment:
There are several minor things which you could do to move this good photo up a few notches.
- Watch the edges of the frame; the model's fingertips are cut off and the edge of her pants/shirt are visible.
- Use only backgrounds which complement the subject. The lace background is busy enough to draw my attention but doesn't contrast strongly enough to complement the smooth texture of the skin.
I'm not sure how well I like the jewelry in the picture, but I think that the navel would be easier to identify if it weren't so covered up.

Morning After

This is a nice, moody shot, but it doesn't seem like an especially strong entry in a nude challenge.

An Angel Waits

Comment:
Something about this pose looks contrived. I'd like the image better if the pose seemed more natural. Since the tones in this picture are all so close to a smooth grey you might have been better off submitting the color version of this shot. In any case, adjusting the curves / contrast could give this image an added kick. Since this is a nudes challenge, entering a model dressed in a rather conservative two-piece will generally be less-well received than more overt nudity.

Bare Bouldering

Of all the sports to participate in while naked, this seems like one of the less pleasant options. The monochrome does a nice job of highlighting the texture differences, but it would benefit from adjusting the curves / contrast.

Surfacing

Comment:
The water seems to be distorting the model's figure in odd ways. I like the refraction patterns of the water, but I'd prefer a shot with less of a funhouse-mirror effect on the model.

This shot reminds me of jmoore's Venus from the Fantasy World challenge, but that may just be because I haven't seen many pictures of nude women underwater with their faces obscured.

I think that the composition would be better if the model exhibited better posture.

Release

Comment:
The light on the model's node and fingertips seems a bit too hot. The missing fingertips on her left hand are distracting. I like the pose, but the visual impact would be stronger if her position was more symmetrical; the angle of her right foot is the only major thing throwing off the balance. Nicely shot; this is one of my highest rated images of the challenge so far.

Your Wife's Lawyer Will See You Now Mr. Smith

Comment:
I love the lawyer's name. The scene is a little busy, but I suppose that it may have been necessary to convey the desired waiting room atmosphere. The sticks in the bouquet which occlude the diploma are distracting.
