Being a huge fan of body art myself I see where you are going with this and I like it. Tattos on many people tell more storys of their life than paper ever will.

The hip does look a little strange in that position but otherwise I think it is very good. I would say it is a pretty good score for being so out of the box but then again it is a semi nude:) good job.

Now here's a different AND interesting take on the challenge...nice dramatic lighting yet still subtle and not overpowering...nicely done.

This is clearly a body that has been tatooed, and not stationery. Feed this person.

interesting concept ..

The model's legs look missing, which I don't think was intended.

I assume this is a work in progress, as there is very little color with work done on the back. I like the lighting and the background but her upper hip breaks the contour of the body. Perhaps if her legs were straightened some it would help continue the flow.

I am sure you would disagree or you wouldn't have entered the photo in this challenge, but IMO DNMC.

Sorry, but this is not my idea of stationery...

not sure it shows stationery, rather it shows the effects of a tatooist...it's a nice shot nonetheless
