I agree with some already posted. In no particular order...
 Gave this a 9.
 Also gave this a 9. I think it's very pretty. Love the colors. It has a great feel.
 Maybe not top 10 material, but I thought it was a beautiful shot that certainly deserved more than a 4.919. I gave it a 9.
 I gave this one a 7 and feel it deserves more than the 4.372 that it wound up with. I'm sure it was hammered for small image size.
 I gave this a 10. Thought it was beautiful. Good focus and dof. The soft colors all work really well together.

Mine either:(
It will probably show up in a "most over rated" thread later.

I think the element which might make this image cross the vague boundary from erotica to pornography is that of consent -- the pose and props carry the implication of the lack thereof on the part of the model ... and I think most people agree that depicting rape falls over the boundary these days.
While it is possible that the model is engaging in entirely consensual and pleasurable S&M activities, I believe that when that is not explicitly clear, an appeal to the viewer's less-wholesome imagination an almost inevitable (and predictable) result. |
I'd be very surprised if this is the case with my photo... the expression on the model's face says it all. I don't believe there's any violence or forced coercion implied in the photo at all. I think most people would agree it's quite a playful photo. |

There were so many extraordinary entries in OFS I think it must rank as one of the more successful challenges.
Never ceases to amaze me at the talent protrayed in these photos! |

I love this and I hoped for it to be in the first 10-th.

| What makes one person see a photo as great another looks at it as just good or even fair is beyond me. Many of these photo's I thought should have done better then they did also. For all those who thought they should have done better, just to let you know that the real prize is that these pictures inspire others like myself to try to be the best that they can be at photography. I look at all of these photo's in awe, and dream of a day that it will be my photo that will inspire. |

Nobody picked mine either. Seems those in the median of the curve are ignored (like mine). :)
