This is an interesting take on the challenge, and an interesting and well-composed image. I have a feeling that this is either going to score very well, or very poorly (or land squarely in the middle because people are equally scoring it sharply in either direction. In the end I've decided to give this a 5, simply because I think that in choosing this shot, which has it's own technical difficulties I'm sure, it avoids the technical challenges that generally come with shooting nudes.

This could be really interesting, but the post processing ruins the shot for me.

It Was Different For Leonardo

Interesting idea. But the execution needs work. The doorframe detracts and you could use more light on the lower body, or less light on the upper body.

This would have been much more interesting as a close shot.

Lighting is too harsh, and the background is really distracting.

Lighting and exposure is very poor. The shadow below the breast doesn't add anything for me, and even if you wanted the line of the shadow as a compositional element it's use is too heavy-handed for my taste. Beyond the technical problems, the composition needs a lot of work as well. Perhaps if you had shot this from a less direct angle. I can't help but think that there are much more subtle and artistic ways to make the point.

Funny shot, but not really a nude.

Facing the Light

Hmm... not sure what you are going for here, but it doesn't work for me. Focus is odd with the shallow dof and the focus placement at the calves. Also the composition is very strange -- eye starts at the out of focus feet and then is pulled up the legs and away from what I perceive to be your intended point of interest. The toning isn't warming, so much as jaundiced.

Composition and pose don't work for me. Also the blown out highlight on the guitar is very distracting, and the selective coloring (de-coloring?) doesn't improve the shot either.

This is a very interesting and striking image. Not sure how "photographic" it remains (whatever that means), but still quite a dynamic creation.
