and i like her hands...
she wanted it that way, so that looks perfect on her...
i don't think that this photo would look so complete without her hands... she would'nt be relaxed enough... |

Mike: this was a good shot, really done well.
I thought it would do better, but then that's just how it goes sometimes.
Keep them coming!! |

| Great light, beautiful subject. Too bad she is so shy, photo does not look natural. would have been better if arms were draped elsewhere. |

| I really love the shadow in this image, and how abruptly it masks the subject. Nice job. |

| The only reason I'm not scoring this that extra little bit higher than I already am is because of the shadow across her forehead. The one running across her arm is OK, because I can still make out the arm in the shadow, but the one across her head simply bothers me. I really like the shadow of her eyelashes and the nice composition. It's just that blasted shadow.... :-) |

| This photograph appeals to me probably because I have respect for the womanly body. I wonder if the photograph would be better with less shadows? -NBT |

| This is a good shot. The lighting is very powerful and the composition is nice. Something doesn't sit exactly right with me though. After thinking about it all week, the best way I can describe it is the overall image is "soft," but the way she is holding her hands to cover her breasts is very flexed -- angular and sharp. It gives the impression that she is nervous about posing. maybe relaxing the hands. The expression on her face says, "I am alone in my world; I am reflecting on my world," but her hands say, "This is a picture going international on the internet." How to fix? I don't know without totally ruining the composition. MAYBE if you could have shot at a more upward angle so that she wouldn't have to cover herself, or flattening her hands some. Maybe from the same vantage point, but cross her arms over her like a hug. Then the picture may have given the impression that she has lost something important and is contemplating it. I don't know. |

Great photo, great subject deserves a great score.
The blackest blacks are not quite perfectly black on my monitor but you still get a 10 and one of my 5 best this week. |

| The sheer beauty of this shot is, IMHO, worth the 8, even if I think it's somewhat cliched. |

Someone here is luckly, and it aint me.
Serioulsy though, well lit, good framing, nice focus.
I doubt she would have let you hang her from the ceiling (j/k) so this is the next best thing. |

shadow on the forehead seems out of place and the tonal range is quite flat on the skin.
Lovely model/pose. |

| Excellent Lighting - nice and soft. I love how she is framed by the light. A frame within a frame. |

| This is one of the best executed upside down picture in this challenge. I hope that voters can see the artistic value. Beautiful! I especially like you use of light and shadow to bring the focus to the womans face. |

| Great tonal range. I like the framing effect of the shadow and dark background, and you seem to have posing well in hand {ahem}. This should do very well, but I bet you get a lot more silly comments. Applaud your bravery. Using the highly scientific hold-your-hand-over-the-monitor technique, it looks like cropping right from the bottom of the angled shadow makes a nice vertical composition, as well. My favorite (right after mine). |

| This is very nice... The lighting is also excellent... The skin tone and smoothness of the lighting on the skin adds a lot to this photo. I am wondering what this shot would look like if it were panned to the right a tad to capture more of the light, yet leaving the shadow on the left intact, but just less of it... excellent work! Kudos to the model too :) |

| This is the winner of the week I think. Two 10's from me this time, and one of them to you. I'm a bit afraid that the next few challenges will be full of nudity after the success of this one. Is this by Gordon McGregor? I love your work... |

Pretty girl and I love the B&W. Nice comp. Your light/shadow is wonderful. I'm just a bit bothered by the shadow on her forehead. Still this is lovely and I like it very much.
Score! for beauty. |

| uh UH!! That looks right side up to me! (I just hurt my neck trying to look at her face). She's beautiful. |

| This is a wrenchingly beautiful photograph. The only thing that gets me about it is the coyness of covering the nipples... it makes it seem self-conscious. The nipples themselves would add a great element to the outline of the breasts too... although I know that if they weren't given some support, her breasts would fall towards her armpits (I know, I have a pair myself as I commented on the hooters girl photo in the last challenge :). Still, 10 from me. |
