Subtleties of Form

Subtleties of form and focus you have obviously grasped. Next step: Subtleties of lighting. A very good shot, ruined by being way too dark. Sorry.

V. cool, but somewhat grainy (i kind of like it, though) and seems to have little or nothing to do with actual nudity. As a nude, however, it is a good shot, but perhaps you should have considered a square shot, and included more of her back?

The border kind of works, but pulls the entire attention away from the picture itself.

It looks as though she is a readhead and has freckles on her arms. If this is the case, I would like to argue that you have wasted a model with infinite potential - get in close, show her characteristics.

When that has been said, I must say that you have chosen an unconventional way to hide her nude parts - which is cool. Not at all sure about the lighting, though.

Seems blurry and I am not too sure about the lack of light in his face. The pose also seems very unnatural, and a black border around a black picture seems to make very little sense. Cool title and good model, though. Perhaps the image would have more impact if he looked straight into the camera lens.

Watering the Lawn (without the watering can!)

funny, but although he is nude, I wouldn't call it a nude. In nude photography, you'd assume that the nudity is there for a reason, to invoke some kind of response or connotation. This does none of the above (not for me, anyway)

A bit too blurry, for my taste.. And if you are going to use a backdrop, placing your model against it isn't going to help you much, I'm afraid. Pull her back, put a light on the backdrop (to blow it out of the picture, basically). Cool idea and good pose.

Not the most natural post I have ever seen, but it is a cool idea. Beware of sharpening your images too much (look the outline on the arm on the left side)

interesting shot, cool use of diagonals, interesting lighting and a pretty model. Still, I think this would be one of those pictures I'd just walk straight past in a gallery. I think it would probably have worked better in black and white.

Tastefully done. You get the idea of a flower about to break open. I bloody hate the border, though.
