Got your note Tarique, but I still think her face is too hidden. A little peek would involve her more in the shot.

In this case, I believe that the shallow DOF actually detracts from the shot, at least as executed. I am distracted by the lack of definition between the hand and the legs. I (IMHO) think that if the focal point was a touch further back (so the whole hand was in focus creating a more distinct line) or the DOF was just a smudge (is that a legal tech term?) deeper that this would give the shot TONS of more impact! I would also have to say that I would like to see this shot in the original colors as this isn't contrasty enough to make a great B/W (again IMHO).
If it is possible, I would love to see this re-shot as I think as a composition, this is one of the best that I've seen so far for this challenge.

I couldn't help noticing that there is quite a pleasantly shaped breast in this shot! ;)

Nice idea, but I'm not convinced about the confusing material, which is a shame because just the body on ots own would have made this very pure. Shadow close to camera is distracting and I think getting in closer would have maximised the DOF effect.

I would try cropping a bit from the bottom to align the nipple with the bottom rule-of-thirds line, and maybe include more space above the knees even. The black blob at the bottom doesn't do the (otherwise very nice) nipple any favors.

Original, nice focus on the hand and breast. The hair at the bottom are a bit distracting, but that's knit picking. Well done. Good luck!
