Really nice pic, the lighting and the skin colour is amazing.
The lighting has enchanced the beautiful curves of the model.
I would be happy to see other images of yours |

| I commented on this during the challenge and I agree that it us truly wonderful. Bless her for standing for that, cold and wet. It combines the human element with the natural one and makes it one, which is as it should be anyway, in the scheme of things. Her faraway look just helped add to an otherwise glorious shot. Congrats on your high placement! |

This is an exceptional shot with great technique and one which I admired very much. The pose, the water and above all the facial expression is by far the best in the entire challenge. I expected a ribbon here and my, how close it got. Excellent and admirable work.
Congratulations on your top 5 finish...a heck of a good job! |

| Congrats on #4! Based on the images I see in your profile, Looks like you had a lot of fun and a lot of opportunities with this challenge, but I think you chose the right one. They are all good, but this one seems to be the most feminine. It's a beautiful shot, and was in my top 2! Very nicely done. Keep up the good work. |

| A lovely image that makes excellent use of natural surroundings (in contrast to the many studio shots in this challenge). The contrast is a bit high for my taste, and although I'm definitely a fan of B&W, I can imagine this being even better in muted color (contrasting the skin color with a reflected blue sky?) 8 |

Wow, stellar shot. Technically perfect, as far as I can tell from this size. Very nice lighting, great looking lady, good composition. Would like to see this in color, just for comparison and, if you have that, a different composition, her more off center of more foreground so one can see the whole reflection.

Beautiful use of natural lighting. Great pose to accentuate the curves of her body! Wish there was a bit more reflection. Nice b/w with a high key flavor because of the bright background. Great work. Hope this does well but afraid it will only be top 15 or 20 the way DPC scores tend to run.

| I like they way the water contrasts against her face and how the highlights in the water start at the post. Excellent use of reflection, elements and light! My only comment is her pose. Maybe it's just me, but it seems a slightly akward pose having her elbows bent that much and her hands behind her back like that. Beautiful photo |

| Just crazy that this would have to be validated. The mood of the picture is it's stong point. The way the water goes from darker to lighter really isolates the model from the background. fine job, bumping up. |

| Seemed at first glance a bit like a calendar shot, but it's really rather better than that. Very fine composition and lighting. The water serves a couple of important purposes, one of which is to provide the lovely rippled reflections. 8 |

Hello, I came back to comment on your photo, It says that it had to be validated, I am not sure why, it is very nice. I hope it does well. I really like the composition and the black and white that you have chose. If this is a self portrait then I also want to add that I admire you for submitting this photo.
P.S. I love the thinking look on her face. |

| One of the four 8s I gave in this challenge. I hope it wins a ribbon, at least a yellow one. The b/w works well for this composition. The only technical recommendation I would have is to have a less centered composition. SInce your beautiful model is looking away to our left, it might have been more effective use of negative space if there was more of an empty space to the left... good luck. |

| Great shot, this is one of my favorites in this challenge. I like the use of the reflection which makes the top of her nearest leg visible through the water, only thing I would change is maybe have her hand hanging with her finger tips in the water, her hand looks as if she is clutching and is the only part that doesnt look relaxed (hope that makes sense). Good luck. |

| I really think that each of these nude challenges get better and better, and photographers and models get more and more daring. The outdoor shots in this challenge are esspecially good, it seems. She is an extremely beautiful model. I love the B&W. I love the detail that allows me to see the water droplets on her body. I love the reflections in the water. I love the tonal range in this image. I love the tonal range in the water itself. To me, this is a winner and one of my favorites. I wish I could give it a score higher than '10'. Good Luck! <10> |
