I am extremely happy with my Nude III entry, but I had three others I considered. Did I make the right choice?

Entry:


Other choices:

I think I would have gone with the B&W, but they are all good. The one you submitted was the best I think. I love her mischievous look.

The eyes have it! The brown ones that is. I do like the bottom right one the best. But all Great.

I think the third option is the strongest, your models eyes are so intense they just draw me into the image totaly - great work.

I'd have gone with 3 but they are all very good.

excellent work, Todd ... on ALL of them.

... but, I think number 2 and 3 are slightly better than the entered one.

I definitely think this one was the better choice. All are nice, but the one you entered is extremely racy. It's the type of look most guys want to have a one-night stand in a bar with. Where as this one is soft, gentle, almost fragile, emotional. It's the type of look that most guys want to be their wife.

I know I would have scored this one about 2 points higher than the one you entered. But that's just me...

All are great shots though.

would have been top 10

I think you made the right choice!
very sexy shot I think... .the others look too posed for my taste!
I gave it a 10

I think this could have been a winner.
The smile does it all.

My mentor, a professional photographer of 20 years convinced me to enter this


instead of this


I am happy with both images, but think I definitely submitted the wrong one.

BTW, IMO "Nude" is a style of art, not a synonym for naked. Apparently not everyone agrees with that definition.

Well - by the responses I guess there doesn;t seem to be a "right" choice :)

My opinion: I like the one you submitted best in the context of this contest. I love nude3 as a portrait. Those wonderful eyes........

Thanks for all the comments... it was a very satisfying challenge for my wife and me. I figured the third one would do well, but I thought her look in the entry was just too good to pass up. I almost titled it "Here Kitty Kitty", but thought that might be a little too much.

Thanks again... can't wait for Nude IV!

Todd-
I think your wife is gorgeous! Matter of fact...the last entry you did for rain caught me off guard....I saw those teeth and went OMG! how did this guy land this chick? I even showed your wife's picture to my boyfriend and then your rain picture....and he was thinking the same thing!!! LOL...then we read your 'bubba teeth' comment and just rolled! It was a good laugh! :)

I agree totally with Nick!
I didnt like the eyes on the one you submited but this photo is awesome and would have been a top contender

She is such a beautiful model! Fabulous! Hard to choose between them!

08/29/2005 11:29:50 AM · #17
Todd, they are all beautiful. There is something about the one you entered that felt off to me, something about the processing on the eyes or face... can't quite pinpoint but it just seemed off a little. Not the expression, that works.

I personally would have scored the 2nd and 3rd shots higher. I like that you cropped out the hand's on the black and white shot. I think 3 is the one I like the best out of all of them. Wonderful work and as I'm sure you're already aware, she is beautiful. :-)
08/29/2005 11:47:15 AM · #18
They are all great but personally i think the last one is the best, her eyes are very beautiful

I dunno. I think you should keep posting more and more outtakes so we can all make a very well-informed opinion. :)
08/29/2005 12:11:41 PM · #20
I like the last one the best but she's gorgeous in all of them. I hate her :)

I liked your entry alot when I saw it. But seeing Nude3... that one the eyes are just great and the focus is perfect for just drawing you into the eyes.

Your entry as I'm looking at them both here now I think the pupil just sort of blends into the eyelashes and shadow there. Don't get the full impact of it.

/shrug but what do I know. :)

Some faces just stop you in your tracks. She definitely has one of these. Whatever picture you chose, I'm glad you chose to concentrate on her face...

I think that's very well put (not that the rest of her isn't beautiful too!). All of the shots are very strong IMHO - all beautiful and beautifully presented.

Thanks again for all the comments. I am now officially having entry remorse. I thought about submitting the third one, but something about her butt didn't seem right to me. Oh-well... I'll just have to keep practicing for the next nude challenge.;)
