yeah I know... I made a mistake. That's what happens when you enter the challenge at the last minute: confusion over which photo to use. Oh well...

I see the idea behind this photograph and I think it could have been very good. Unfortunatly, it is clear in this case that you were limited technicaly and it affected the outcome of the image. Lighting could be greatly improved with proper equipment. the bike could also be different; this one is rather uninteresting photography wize. I'm sure you'll get imamture comments about the model being overweight; personaly, I wouldn't change her at all. I think she's perfect in the photo/concept. Image is too blury (could use lots of unsharp mask in photoshop). All in all, I really think the current photo is the shadow of a great idea you had and you were limited technically. That's unfortunate, but that does not mean it is not good. ;-) cheers! 5

beautiful model, beautiful crop. Nice lighting. Feels slightly too rigid. A suggestion: in this kind of position, ask the model to slightly let the lips open; this relaxes the face and adds freshness to the image. Well executed shot! 7

male nude well executed. Nice pose. nice crop. Probably would have worked better in b&w or sepia, and maybe with a bit more grain. 7

Nice use of red color; gives a peep-show feel to the image. nice composition. nice pose of the model. I wonder if the shot had been better by moving in the camera closer to the guitar to have the strings come directly at the viewer? very well done. 6

Nice lighting. Beautiful choice of models (I love the skin of the female model!). Beautiful pose. I wish we could see slightly more (suggestion of the breasts maybe). Feels a bit rigid... but very well executed. 7
