I like the softness of the photo. She looks like she is taking a VERY HOT shower. I think that it would look better if she wasn't clutching the breast that tight, and if she wasn't wearing the rings. Overall, nice picture and good luck in future challenges.
I still reckon this photo could of been fantastic! I love the pose with clutching the breasts. I would love to see a sharper version of this. Maybe some out takes? Fantastic model too! Yes....my dreams! :p
I like the composition and smooth skin tones in this shot. The soft focus and (what appears to be) partial double exposure help to convey the dream message well.
The strong light in the bottom right and the shiny rings on the model's fingers are a bit distracting (to the extent that an image featuring a topless woman can have anything distracting). Something about the soft focus looks off - almost as though it was done by dodging, burning and cloning in Photoshop.
Grabbing herself, but doesn't really grab me. Exactly what are we supposed to be getting from this one? If it were more out of focus overall, then I think the title would fit better given the lack of interesting lighting/effects.
Composition interesting. I think it would be improved if the empty space was to the left instead of right. Her rings are a distraction. 6- good luck in the challenge!
It looks a little bit too processed. Really noticeable around the rings on the hands. I love the pose! It's a shame because this could of been fantastic.
I like the steam and the mood of this picture. Even the motion. The model has a great shape for pictures of this type. It looks like there are some sharpening artifacts in her hair/hands and the areas of the wall that are overexposed also contribute to a feeling of lesser quality.
I really like the dreamy look of this photo. I like the color. I want to tell you that if this is a self portrait that I admire you for submitting it. Good luck in the challenge.
Very nice image.
Perhapsa little too artsy for my liking with the blown out background and the soft focus.
Great exposure on the boda, and I like the pose.
The shadow on the wall gives a stange illusion that the model has moved during a photo taken a a very slow shutter speed. It took me a while to realise it was a shadow. The pose and composition ar enice but the steamyness and th shadow imho are hurting the overall image.
On a completely off tangent note, does the model corset train?
I'd love to see how you did this. but this is likely the most sensual of all of the shots in the challenge. Hopefully the rest of DPC will like it as much as I have.
I like the soft focus that you used here, but my eye is confused by the shadows behind the model. You lose some of the definition of the form, in effect making the focus appear softer than it is. If that is what you were attempting you hit it. However it takes away some of the appeal to me as a viewer. I appreciate the effort.

I don't like the shadow effect. It leads to confusion for the eye, especially around her face (where does her face end? where does the shadow begin?) It's a tad out of focus and the rings are distracting.
Great capture... There is a fine line between soft focus and blurry though. I think yours is a little on the blurry side. I understand what you were going for and think you almost captured it. Great shot!
i think its an interesting effect with the motion blur but i think a more conventional approach could have worked better. (btw, the model has a great figure and pose)
Well NOW she is! LOL Well done. Dreamy, for sure. Not real happy about clutching the breasts, but if ya had to cover them somehow, that works fairly well. Good luck.
