I can't believe I never commented on this one!
Ok, so my favorite was another one of this series, but this is just GOOD! plain and simple.
Again, your amazing way to convey erotics and sexuality.
Peter, I just love the way you see things.

Beautiful image. Should have placed much higher. :-)

Oh my God! 32!! I was sure this would make the top 10! Original and thought provoking! Congrats on a powerful image!

Definetly underrated- gave it a 10! I usually don't comment on the ones I give high scores 'cuz I assume they have enough 'pats on the back'
Great image & unique idea!!!

Was my favorite for the challenge. You'd have had better luck in a juried competition I'm sure.

weirdly fascinating , great lighting
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/28/2005 06:15:33 PM
interesting, and i like it a lot, but like a puppet i'm not getting any emotion from this
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/28/2005 02:21:29 AM
Something about the lighting let's this down a tad. The idea is fantastic. Nice model. Well done!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Love the idea and nice to see an original entry. Composition, exposure and Colours are great , nice work.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I llike this shot because it makes me uncomfortable. Also, the clarity and focus on her lower hand (viewer's left) is quite good. It appears to be the lighting. I wonder if it would be possible to get that with the rest of the body
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/27/2005 07:33:42 PM
BSDM huh? Great stuff, make me think of THE RING :) 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/27/2005 07:17:01 PM
I like the contrast of black and white between her hair and her body and background. I admire you if this is a self portrait. I hope you do well in the hallenge. Good luck.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/26/2005 11:05:25 PM
I really like the implications of this photo. Very well done and the facelessness (is that a word?) is a nice touch. The only thing is maybe a slightly longer crop so you see more of her body might have made the photo a bit better compositionally.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/26/2005 04:59:37 PM
This is good, only the background spoils it somewhat.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/26/2005 09:43:31 AM
sad. powerful. effective
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/26/2005 03:44:49 AM
I like the idea/pose,and the overall feel of the photo. If I was going to get really picky the only two things I didn't care for are the ribbons above the head and the piec of ribbon by the models left thumb. I think you did an excellent job, and deserve a very high score for this one.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/25/2005 11:59:31 PM
Not quite a puppet, not quite bondage. I'm not sure how to change the photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/25/2005 11:14:54 AM
good concept and nicely in focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/25/2005 05:53:07 AM
Unusual concept (to me), but nicely done. Lighting and exposure are great, composition very dynamic and interesting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/25/2005 12:48:17 AM
would work better with hemp rope
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/24/2005 10:52:33 PM
Interesting topic, the ribbon coming out from the center of her head is a bit distracting. Good luck.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/24/2005 07:47:12 PM
lovely... very tastefully done... the colours here are excuisite.. congrats... 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/24/2005 05:34:09 PM
WoW! This is a very interesting photo. I am sure it will score high. A lot of contrast!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/24/2005 12:42:18 PM
Wonderful! Leather straps would have made it just a litle more real
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/24/2005 03:50:34 AM
Although this photo was strange in itself, it seemed more alive than most. Showing half the face may have improved it some. but basically a unique photo that won't let you ignore it. good job.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/24/2005 02:27:28 AM
perhaps better in B&W?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/24/2005 01:42:43 AM
I like this picture except the scalp you can see
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/24/2005 12:59:23 AM
very imaginative. The color is a bit strong for my taste, but I came back to this because it stands out. I will bump this one up to a 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/24/2005 12:56:19 AM
Interesting idea. A couple more ribbons for the legs might be a nice touch...something to try anyway. Nice lighting and pose.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2005 09:38:16 PM
Very interesting idea. The slightly textured bg works well however I think the model might be too close to the bg, the shadows are a little distracting.

Nice focus and dof. Good colors. Nicely done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2005 09:05:40 PM
A very dark image. I definitely like it, and a very artistic point of view. great lighting, great color, awesome pose. 9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2005 05:35:10 PM
very nicely done with a unique idea and great composition
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2005 03:14:11 PM
This is very well done. The lighting and lines are perfect. Beautiful shot. 10 (I think I know who this is - Of course, I could be wrong, but I have a sneaking suspicion...)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2005 01:52:19 PM
Wonderfully done and nice concept for the challenge!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2005 11:45:05 AM
this is in fact quite a weird photo. almost creepy. maybe if you played with curves and levels a little bit you could really draw out the eerie feel to this.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2005 10:25:08 AM
I like this idea.
Might have to copy it some time.
Model could have been further from the background to throw it a bit more out of focus.
Exposure & lighting seem pretty good.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2005 05:19:30 AM
this is a shot which to me has met its potential, it is something thats been done before but what hasnt been?9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2005 04:46:47 AM
Very good concept. Nice framing, and I really like how the hair is draped over the face and down the front. I'm thinking that with this image, the presentation could be a little stronger with more subdued lighting, and maybe a darker overall processing and feel.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2005 01:41:18 AM
I wish you would have used string not ribbon and I wish I could not see the ties around the wrist, but your concept is really great.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2005 12:23:06 AM
I think the pink ribbons are a good color to use for this shot. Desaturating everything but the ribbons might look cool too. I like the limp pose of the hands and head. The model's wet hair looks good, and I like the screen it creates introducing some anonymity.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2005 12:16:46 AM
Very original! A full-body pose that made your model look small against the stark white wall (and ribbons) might have even more impact, but is obviously logistically harder to accomplish. Excellent work - 8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 11:50:58 PM
Well done technically, but boring compositionally. 6.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 09:54:26 PM
The shadows on the background are a little distracting.... Maybe washing out the background either by adjusting levels or shooting a little higher exposure would help.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 09:48:35 PM
A little disturbing. Perhaps the intent. The saturation is a little high making her nipples look unreal. I do like the contrast of black hair with the background though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 08:13:18 PM
Good entry, great framing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 06:31:46 PM
Very interesting shot, I think it would do well if it was a darker and grainier pic, to me the title and pic have a darker mood than shown here .7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 04:12:39 PM
a bit wierd, sort of wierd fetish like... but cool and stylized plus it takes guts to submit an image like this.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 01:22:11 PM
striking. A mix of "The Grudge", nudity and fetish. Niiiiiice.... :-) I would have been curious to see a more dramatic lighting on this one (maybe light from above only, or from below). 8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 11:40:04 AM
Like the idea. Tones of the skin a little on the red side. Composition, crop, POV and DOF good. Lighting works. 8 - good luck in the challenge!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 11:27:44 AM
great idea and well shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 10:11:11 AM
Creative idea and well presented. The colors are perfect. Nice job! 8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 08:36:30 AM
Nice concept. I would go for a tighter crop on top..not care much about the red attached to the red. It distracts. Anyway.... a 10.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 08:28:25 AM
fragile, fresh, innocence, love the negative space
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 03:25:25 AM
i like everythig but the damp hair - i have to wonder the reason for that.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 02:50:07 AM
I cannot say that I like this image appeals to my taste but I have to recognize that you have portrayed it very well. It is disturbing and appears bloodied simply by your choice of using red ribbon as binding. Technically it is excellent and deserves credit for what it is. Good luck!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 02:13:04 AM
the creative approach won me over on this one.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 01:14:58 AM
nice idea. evokes bondage, control, something excessive, something eery, particularly with the cord seemingly around her neck as well. the red works well here. only issue i'd have with this, is the shadow around the armpit. 9

(gibun?)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 01:11:44 AM
Kinky, but creative. ;-) dark shadow under the arm detracts a little.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 12:20:19 AM
VERY CLEVER. I love this and the use of the red ribbons. Her hair and hand positions are really nicely done. This is awesome.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 12:12:02 AM
Love the pose, the hair and the original idea for this photo. No tenseness in the hands too, nice! I would maybe have stood a bit further from the wall to eliminate the shadows, and maybe used something different to tie around the hands....something that looked more like rope or string. How's that for picky?
