Very nice indeed. Love the lighting -- the clear-cutting must have taken forever. It's perfect.

To my mind, she should be essentially ignoring the snake and apple (as shot.) This portraits perfect comfort and control (high esteem) in a context where the viewer may not be so comfortable at all. I like it.

Is it a real snake by the way. If so, what a poser! :P

I really liked this shot, it reminded me of that German calendar I read about on "nudity" in the Bible.

Pretty girl, good lighting and props.

Super shot.

I'm a little unsure about this shot, to say the least. At first I thought you'd captured lust and desire, since this shot appears to be based on temptation and taking, rather than giving. Plus, if I'm not mistaken, Eve rather betrayed Adam with the whole apple thing? - the snake and the apple do rather appear to point out the wicked/selfish side of things.

...HOWEVER, if she's ignoring the snake and the apple (and she does rather seem to be concentrating on flirting with the camera with her eyes, lips and shoulders) then that could be a good case for romance.

She's also hiding herself with her arms, which denotes playing hard to get, and I don't know if that comes under romance or lust, since it links into both in a flirty way. I hope this makes some sense...

Nice shot. I like the lighting but think there could be a little more shadow areas. The whole front area is highlighted so the lack of shadows amplifies it a bit too strongly IMO.

nice!!!!

Wow, the model is hot, great shot too.

Very creative.

Great photo and setup- your model is more willing than mine for sacrificing for the shot- I'm going to show him.

Nice work, I like most things about this shot. The black backround isnĀ“t winning me over though, this would just look so much cooler if there was a "forest" that was out of focus behind her. Anyway, one of the better shots in the challenge, got a 7 from me.

I love this picture :D to bad her hair is in front of one eye, but very orriginal, good job.
02/02/2006 05:47:25 AM
where is that snake going? :-) nice shot
02/02/2006 12:23:39 AM
bible study gurl? good one again!
02/01/2006 10:21:34 PM
Love the shot, especially the freckles. Would have voted higher...but I'm not sure how on-topic it is.
02/01/2006 07:20:17 PM
She takes my breath away. I just wish both eyes were visible for better eye contact. That would make it 10 for me.

Very creative... a bit of shadow on the face that is disturbing me... but overall, very well done.

a very seductive tempstress. Nice lighting and good pose. Should have moved the hair that is blocking her left eye (our right).
