I think this would be better in color.

This image looks a little flat. Stronger directional light or adding items to the composition (e.g. beads of water clinging to the skin) would have added interest.

A bit flat, but a nice idea. Curves / levels would likely exaggerate the grain here, so you might try careful dodging and burning.

I think that to pull this off, those diamonds and the metal attached to them need to pop out a bit more. That's a tricky statement, so maybe just a slightly different angle to show it off a bit better.

Noisy, looks more like a jewelry advertisement... not enough "nude" to meet the challenge... 5 for good effort...

Very nice focus on the BLING! Not sure this is enough nudeness for this challenge. I hope you do good in this challenge. Good luck.

This is well focused and the lighting gives some modeling to the form. There isn't enough in the picture to hold my interest for very long.

little bigger dof would have had the right effect.

I think the emphasis is too much on the blingbling. It is a beautifull belly, and this should be the subject for this challenge.
The lighting is a little flat not showing the contours as much as it could.

It looks like the crop should shift a little to the right. Nice lighting and shadows. I like the tones of the skin and sharpness of the jewelry. Nicely done.

thats a tiny navel with some big bling! I would have like to have seen the same shadow cast on both sides to better define the stomach.

I like the idea but I dont thik this lends itself to B/w maybe if the light was more dramatic 7

The dark areas seem a little blotchy and the crop is tighter than I would like but an attractive midrif and great effort. Good luck.

Good concept and lighting in this shot. I wish the belly button jewelry was out of the center, maybe at one of the intersections of horizontal and vertical 3rds. I think the inclusion of more black space on either the right or left would make this shot feel a little more dynamic.

Well done technically. But, IMHO, boring compostionally. 7

framing is a little boring. grainy look to the picture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

nice stomach... fairly decent lighting
  Photographer found comment helpful.

imo this doesnt really seem like a nude shot and the main focal point of the shot is the jewelry rather than the body.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nicely shot. Interesting perspective. I don't know if it's my monitor or not, but the skin seems awfully grainy.

I have to say that the title totally ruined this for me...I hate the word "bling", there is something so immature and "cheap" about it...maybe this was your intent? This really seems to be more about the belly jewel than "nudity".

Mandy ....I was refering to the title...not you...please click here for a response to what you posted earlier about this comment in a public thread
