I'll take a stab...
Ummm, exposure/focus is all good, skin tones are OK, although the skin looks a little 'processed' to me, possibly because of the contrast between the hairy lower leg, and the totally clean thigh.
The thigh below the elbow has a big patch that is nearly all one tone, like it's dead flat which we know thighs are not. Almost like the shot is taken from under a glass table the person is lying on. (not likely?) Anyway, it attracts the eye a bit much for an un-interesting bit of the shot.
The brighter blue triangle is a little distracting, and the elbow is also a little annoying now that I look at it more. I want to either see more of the arm, or none of it.
The whole thing looks like it's been rotated clockwise a bit as well, as the feel/calves arn't level on the floor/table/chair.
Overall it's a good photo technically, but it dosn't do anything for me asthetically, the pose is OK, but the crop is too harsh maybe... Not sure, just dosn't 'pop'...
I've never shot any 'art', so I'm not an expert, take a surf of the nude stuff on www.photo.net. There are some amazing images on there, which will give you food for thought. Not so many males (I'm assuming this is a guy, appologies to your model if not!) but there are some good ones. Unfortunately in the male nudes there is also some very tacky stuff, so far off the 'art' mark its really not funny.
As always, just my 2c worth...
Cheers, Chris H.
