Challenge: Nude (Classic Editing*)
Camera: Olympus C-4000Z
Location: My apartment in Somerville, MA
Date: Jul 10, 2003
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/30 sec
Galleries: Nude
Date Uploaded: Jul 10, 2003

I smudged some wrinkles out of the background (a sheet) and took two blemishes off the face. Aside from that, this is about how I wanted it... bold, maybe even menacing, yet frustrating because you can't quite have eye contact.

Lighting is unbalanced enough show but not enough to indicate it was intentional, may work better as a portrait by cropping the arms off.

the lighting is a bit harsh and there is too much negitive space

Shadows on the face throw it off.

I can't say I find the concept appealing at all.

I like that the eyes are just peaking out in this - hidden but still seeing. Composition and backround are a little boring to me. 5

I almost wish I couldn't see the white of her eyes...

i really like the model the pose the title and the idea but i would like to recommend that you shoot this pic with different lighting than the oncamera flash. in general, that kind of lighting just illuminates very directly, without any sparkle or mystery. try a lamp from like a 45 degree angle to the subject.

The lighting seems a little harsh, but maybe that is what you were going for considering this is an "evil" femme-bot. The shadow from your flash is a bit distracting also. Maybe using something to diffuse it would help prevent the shadows. Good luck in the challenge.

Cute femme-Bot. I think you needed some color here. She has a perfect body for nude photos ....IMHO.
This just looks a bit blah to me. Maybe having her hair down on a darker background?
No matter this is nice. I like her, the light and the pose. Good work!

I love the symmetry. Did you try this in black and white. I'd like to see the shadws removed (could have been done in Photoshop). Still a cute shot. Good luck. Jacko.

The light is not particularly inspiring, and I think this image has more novelty-value than anything else. Did you try it in black and white?

This shot coul dhave used some kind of dramatic lighting. As it is, thecolors are dull and flat..The grey background doesn't help either. Basically, what this shot is missing is ambiance, which is essential in a nude shot. 5

Strange idea, the fingers over the eyes, but i find it interesting. I don't care for the drab background. I would have prefferred solid white or black, or something even more interesting, which would have been possible giving the open editing rules of this challenge.

interesting pose, but I think the shadows are distracting...relatedly, the light seems a bit harsh and has washed out her skintone. Check rotation too, seems to be a degree or two off.
