Less is more...

In this instance less is more. I love the tight crop. I also am glad that you didn't neat image all the character out of her skin. Great job.

THis shot is impeccibly well lit. Great pose that leaves much to the imagination but still evokes much feeling. Great use of the square crop. The graininess gives the shot an even more gritty emotional feel. The only nit I have to pick is that you lost the fingertips of the right hand in the black material. Great job!

Nude Reclining

Comment:
I can not help but look at this shot and feel mildly insulted for myself and others that actually had the courage to enter a nude shot into this challenge. Most of us are not glamour or nude photographers and it took a lot of effort to put in a serious shot. In any other challenge I would consider this thinking outside the box. In this challenge I see it as a slap in the face. Just MHO.

Great tonality and very interesting lighting. It's quite obvious that you spent a good amount of time on the lighting and set up. I personally don't understand the underlying story as I'm not familiar with the name in the title. I do think though that the white border doesn't add to the shot and because of it's brightness compared to the shot it draws my eye out of the frame. Good work. I appreciate the effort that went into this shot.

Shadows

Great lighting! Great exposure. I even like the non traditional framing which I usually don't appreciate. In this instance I think it actually adds to the shot instead of stealing some of it's impact. Good work.

I appreciate the thinking outside of the box that you used for this photograph. It is a great illusion and would have done fantastic in that challenge. I do however feel slightly cheated as a photographer when I see this shot in this challenge as it took a lot of courage for me and my model to enter a more traditional style of nude shot. Nice shot overall with awesome lighting. I just personally don't think it fit's the challenge in this instance.

In your dreams...

I like the soft focus that you used here, but my eye is confused by the shadows behind the model. You lose some of the definition of the form, in effect making the focus appear softer than it is. If that is what you were attempting you hit it. However it takes away some of the appeal to me as a viewer. I appreciate the effort.

I see what you are trying to do with this shot however my tastes do not lie in this area. I as a viewer can not appreciate this form of the art. What I see is a busy photograph that doesn't lead my eye to a specific point. I do appreciate the effort that was put into it however. It took a lot of work and it shows. Thank you for entering.

Lone Dancer At Window

Comment:
Very nice take on the challenge. I think that the ever slightest more fill on this side of the model would make this pop even more. Not actual lighting, but more like a touch of bounce light from the window back to the model. I'm a little put off by the lack of detail in the face. I don't know if your model didn't want to be recognized or if this was an artistic choice. Either way I think the slightest amount of fill would not change your goal but would help greatly with the shot.
