Rapture

An interesting shot though my overwhelming thought is "Goodness she looks uncomfortable" - and that thought overrides the thoughts I also have about the interesting shapes formed by the pose.
I think it's a good nude - I like that it's a little riske - with the inclusion of quite a lot of the bum and the bosoms left uncovered. It's not too "false modest" if you know what I mean.
I find the contrast between colour in the wrap and desaturated body interesting but also feel that skin is so beautiful in colour that it loses something in some black and whites... in this one I feel I'd rather see the skin in full colour.
I like the use of negative space, the positioning of the girl within the frame itself appeals.

A really interesting image - I like the reflections caught in the showerhead and the stop motion on the water. I also like the choice to go for high contrast in post processing. The crop (cutting out the eyes and rest of the head) works very well for me. I like the dark spaces too.

Firstly, I want to say how much I like the lighting in this - exposure seems just right.
Please don't take this the wrong way but the pose really looks very strange to me - lifting just one leg like that kind of makes me think of a pet going to the bathroom and the hand on the bottom doesn't help dispel that. Truly, I'm not trying to be rude or offensive but to let you know honestly how the image strikes me.
I think a similar pose with her sitting on flat rock, with both legs tucked to her right, bent to the same extent, would work much better.
If this comment does upset you, please just drop me a PM and I will be happy to remove it ASAP.
Kind Regards
Kavey

What a clever use of light projection - this is such a quirky and unusual image. Just a touch dark for my preferences but still one of my favourites in this challenge.

An absolutely great example of someone really enjoying the warmth of the sun upon their skin. And, look, a little nipple poking out! I feel a strange kinship with this entry! (See my SP Revisited entry LOL).
Great background too - fantastic shapes and texture to it but softness too.
Lighting and skin tone seems just right.
One of my favourites.

Very strong shapes in this - and excellent pose to protect modesty whilst still conveying "nude".
I don't like the way that the border is slimmer at the top - I would prefer it to be uniform width all around, even though that's quite wide because of your decision to have the feet "fall out" of the border.

Curves and Stripes

A lovely example of really painting with light. I love the way the light defines her body like contour lines on a map. Is that an arm at the lower left or a fold of cloth? Either way I'm not sure about its position - I think arms above body and out of shot might be better. Also not sure about colour and contrast settings - seem to flatted it a little - though that's perhaps what you intended?
All in all an intriguing image.

I like this a lot, with a couple of exceptions. Firstly, I'm definitely not keen on the sunglasses or the way the water ripples over her lower leg. It sort of cuts up into the flesh of her thigh too - so the shape and size of her thigh doesn't feel quite right to me.
Secondly I'd like just a touch more light on the foreground arm. Not too much, as I like that some parts of her just merge into the blackness, but a touch more would be my preference.
I love the relaxed pose and the suntan shapes...

I like this a lot content wise and composition wise.
I particularly love the inclusion of the skyline.
I love the ripple pattern near the model's feet and the way they direct the eye to the horizon and light lines of waves or water near that.
The horizon feels a little tilted to me - could perhaps do with a touch of rotation.
The model is neither a silhouette nor well enough lit not to be a silhouette, sort of stuck somewhere in between. Therefore my main preference would be to have some fillin light directed towards his body. Not too much, so one still gets the impression of him standing to face the sun, but just a touch to show more detail.
