Nicely posed and great shot. Nude?

Not quite nude, is she?

Something about this pose looks contrived. I'd like the image better if the pose seemed more natural. Since the tones in this picture are all so close to a smooth grey you might have been better off submitting the color version of this shot. In any case, adjusting the curves / contrast could give this image an added kick. Since this is a nudes challenge, entering a model dressed in a rather conservative two-piece will generally be less-well received than more overt nudity.

A bit flat. Directional lighting may add interest here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/27/2005 07:26:53 PM
I want to see her nude!!! ;-)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/27/2005 12:18:12 PM
The shadows really bring out the overall texture or contours in the body. The ring on her finger is a little distracting. Overall (7)

nice, maybe some dodge and burning though
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Cute outfit, nice pose...good use of B&W with excellent lighting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/27/2005 01:33:05 AM
uuuhm, sorry, but where is the nude aspect in this shot? It's unfortunately not a lingerie challenge, so I'll have to score you lower than I would otherwise. Pose, compositon and lighting are good. Not spectacular, but fair enough nevertheless.

OK, I love the model and the pose, the composition is great! It just looks a bit flat to me though...as in it doesn't come up and smack me in the face! Good effort though!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Not a really bad photo, but the composition is weird. Strange pose. No nudity (DFTC). Doesn't fit the title, either, in my opinion.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/25/2005 12:15:20 PM
This reminds me of an old pin-up type of photo. With this one I think it would have been better to see the face like in the old pin-ups and maybe a more elaborate set. The lighting is good.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/25/2005 01:10:12 AM
The shot seems a little flat. Everthing else looks good.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/24/2005 10:13:25 PM
I like the tones, great model...but she looks a bit stiff and tense in this pose...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/24/2005 07:12:12 PM
Nice lighting. Nice pose, with perfect curves and angles. Good gradational background, it adds to the photo. Overall well done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/24/2005 07:03:07 PM
Very lovely model, set and lighting. I like most of this image, the only thing that bothers me is the visibility of the ribcage on the image. It's distracting a bit. I might have tried a slightly different pose to get a similar look without the visible ribs.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/24/2005 09:18:48 AM
great pose, just little soft for me. good use of lighting. bumping up.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2005 09:43:28 PM
She isn't nude.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2005 06:00:14 PM
Hmmm... just a bit too contrived for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2005 11:23:23 AM
IMO The pose seems too forced and is somewhat unflattering ( the rib / breast area )...the model doesn't seem "comfortable". In the background I see alot of digital "artifacting", cute undies though, but then again this is a "nude" challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2005 10:20:54 AM
This is nice, but the bakground is very uneven on my monitor. I think the imagi is also cropped too tightly on the right.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2005 01:34:40 AM
she is not nude. There are ways to cover what shes got without cloths. This lighting is too flat and her pose seems a little husler like to me. However everyone likes something different in their nudes and I am sure this will appear to a number of people, just not me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2005 12:03:57 AM
Well done technically, but boring compositionally. 6.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 11:03:07 PM
While this is a nice photo, it's not a nude, unless she has a skin condition causing white frilliness around her waist & breasts.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 10:11:06 PM
Nice lighting though maybe not dramatic enough to fully bring out the form of your model. You have some very bizarre color banding going on in the background. Almost as if there was a pattern there that I can not figure out. What did you use for a background? I'm sure that you are getting comments about this not being a nude shot. I am not sure it fits the challenge myself. Nude doesn't have to be totally naked but should at least give the illusion of it IMHO.

I think turning the head away hurts the photo. She looks like she is avoiding the camera.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 09:28:57 PM
Image is blurry and seems very uncomfortable for the model
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 08:57:22 PM
I wouldn't say this is nude but I love this shot. It is very classic. Nice pose. I hope you do well.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 06:48:14 PM
for me this DNMC. If yourself or the model did not want to shot a nude, why not opt for a close up or a stratigically drapped piece of fabric. There are many images you could have taken that would have met the challenge without having to actually be nude.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 04:56:23 PM
I'm not such a fan of the "rib" look, but I'm not going to count that against you. 9.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 02:48:48 PM
Not clear and crisp, edges are wispy, perhaps that was the look you were going for, but makes the photo seem hurried.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 12:46:03 PM
The pose looks a bit strained to me. I'd have had her relax just a bit so that her ribcage isn't so awkward in the shot. The light and shadow is good.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 12:06:17 PM
Very nice composition and lighting. The photo is a little soft but you might have ment it that way. I did not vote this very high because the object of this challenge was nude and I think it would have scored real high and maybe even ribboned if she was nude. Good luck.

nice pose and lighting, but the contrast is flat and it's a bit out of focus. and, she's not nude.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 04:18:10 AM
Nice pose - but the image is a bit soft for my tastes.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 01:53:47 AM
poor contrast forced pose and she's wearing clothes
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 01:40:42 AM
looks slightly out of focus. good pose and composition. blown out light on the bottom left is distracting. contrast in mid tones could have been stronger.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 01:27:09 AM
I am not loving the pillar prop in this one.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 01:01:33 AM
Very Greek goddess feeing here; love the position of the model and lighting is very nice. Only thing bothering me is the blurred bow on her undies. 8

Nice, but not nude, which I could get over if I could see her face. Good luck to you.
