Here are some alternatives to my entry "Angry Princess" in the right angle challenge. Warning : Has Nudity
Original Entry : //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=31651

As suggested options with better arm definition and without jewels
//tariquesani.net/albums/right/option1.jpg
//tariquesani.net/albums/right/option2.jpg

Here are two more which I considered for the challenge

Comments eagerly awaited

The first one's best. She looks too vulnerable without the jewelry.

I rated the one in the challenge with a 7.
I would have rated legs1 with an 8 (lower values for the other ones).

I think legs1 is less elaborated but more effective which eventually makes it a better photo.

tarique,

these are all great, and you have a very photogenic wife :).

i think the one you entered prolly fits the challenge best. at least in terms of a 'princess', the jewelry does add a certain element of 'above the normal social status' to the image.

i like them all but i think the one with no jewelry but with knife might also convey your message. she needs that weapon to look tough when she's naked :).

nice series...

Thank you - but vulnerable was not what she would like to be called. Hence the setup. She does carry that knife around at times ;)

Thank you - yes her legs are her greatest assets, but I was scared of the nudity haters on the site hence posted a very conservative (read less skin) picture

I think you made the right choice with your original entry. The others are also good, but the one you entered is the best IMO. THe legs one was probably too racy to do well. As many 9&10's as you might have gotten (due to the GUY population), you probably would've gotten more 1-3's due to the skin haters. Honestly, I'd rather have a mediocre score with no or few 1&2's than a slightly better score with a lot of 1&2's. But that's just me.

Nice work - Bob

I think the 'legs' one is stunning...nicely original in the pose and interesting light

I like the one with the kangan and the knife and the legs one (and your entry was great too!)

I am curious about the banding and compressed look on a few of the shots though..is that a result of your post processing/resize? They're ruining great photographs!

Thanks - Actually even with this shot I was expecting being slammed for
1) Nudity
2) Cheesy title

But I guess I got away

They are artifacts of my 1.3 megapixel camera. The camera doesn't deal too well with sharply delineated areas in bright light. I am particularly unhappy about it in the legs shot...

Thanks for the compliment.

Thanks - the light is from a 200W lamp on the right and a large mirror on the left
