Good stuff! I'm just not sure whether or not I should like the harsh lighting. Looks like she's a "neon body" or something. The light/shadow going on otherwise I think is pretty cool and so is the use of color(s) for this photo. The panty almost looks like it's just body painting, if it wasn't for the tiny shadow on right cheek, that illusion would be perfect.

Cheers,

Ziptease

fat/body-suit or photoshop?? Looks cool, kinda spooky, but not very nude to me, despite those breasts. The zipper kind of kills the mood ;-))

I give you a 7, because it's so different and original.

GREAT shot! Love this. The composition, lighting, shadows & resulting "separation of limbs", skin tones, her eye and hair, the cuves, the hair on his arm - truly fantastic and such an atypical nude, even for a pregnant woman type of shot.

The only thing I don't care for too much is the border. I think it's a bit distracting. Then again, I guess that really is a matter of taste.

I give you my first 10!

Looks like the leaves in the middle are sprouting out of her head. Not very attractive to me and not very "nude" either, so I wouldn't be surprised if you got a pretty low score with this. If you'd at least shown her from the side or added a little light for her back, this may have done a lot better than it will as it is - just my guess.

In Darkness Let Me Dwell...
by jasm8

Comment:
Technically not very convincing, rather dull-looking sepia shot. Good idea though and, to me, very much a "Birdy"-inspired shot. If it wasn't for the western look and the solid wall background, this could be from Guantanamo...

While he is nude, it doesn't look like a nude shot to me. "Desperation" would be more like it as a challenge topic.

Just a dude's opinion who's never even tried nude before, so don't take it too hard ;-)

If it wasn't for the relatively un-prominent breasts, this could be a Dr. Jones... This way, I'd say it's a pretty good fine arts type of shot. However, the composition could be better, a little more balanced in the subject-background ratio, maybe. If I'd had more foreground in the setup, I would have tried to play with the reflection a little more and maybe added a tad more light to her face, so at least her right eye was lit well.

I give you an 8.

Woman Ashamed of Her Own Nakedness

Comment:
Oh please, not ANOTHER uncreative use of selective desat. Sorry, but I've definitely seen too many of these on this site. Yours is about the 7th picture I rate and the third I comment on in this challenge. Sorry, I really don't care for this too much. Composition is a bit lame, title even more so. The shot is technically weak, in my perception, either soft or pixelated or overcompressed.

No offense, please, I'm just giving you my honest feedback. I don't care for the "nice" comments that don't tell me why people do or don't like my shots, so I treat others' work the same way.

Surfacing

Comment:
If I was Beavis or Butthead, I'd say: "wow, big a$$, hu, huhu, chicks are so hot..." ;-)

As I'm not, I'd say: great shot! Very surreal, almost spooky with the distortion and the high contrast the body and the dark water on the right. I'm interested to read how you did this, in terms of body of water, lighting, time of day, perspective, lens etc.

Good luck with the challenge. I guess the shot may not be "nude enough" for some of the folks on here...

From a Crysallid

Comment:
I guess you get all these silly comments saying that a nude without at least a visible butt crack is no nude - right or wrong?

Anyway, I think this is a very cool shot. I love the contrast between the different shades of blue and the fabulous skin tone. The hair and the tatoos add to the overall quality of the shot. I might have tried a less thight crop and possibly a more interesting composition, too. Then again, I don't know what your setup was and whether the background and/or subject would have allowed you to change these things.

Hope this helps

I think it's a pity the knee is cut off/goes beyond the boundaries of the photo. However, I agree with gloda that the frozen moment is cool. The "almost" makes it all the cooler in my eyes. Otherwise one would have to wonder if the person was lying down or suspended in the air somehow or just plain stuffed like a dead animal ;-D
