I know this isn't quite up to par for a freestudy, but I hadn't entered in awhile and missed the update button, however I do like this photo and thought it better in the challenge than sitting on my card un-noticed.

Glad some of you enjoyed the shot.

The off-center placement of the model is good however I feel the image would be better if it were more low-key.

Although she does have very nice shape, I don't care for the blown highlights on her arm, and this seems really bland for a free study. With her elbo cut off just really disturbs me.

kinda wich her arm wasn't cut off and the black on the right doesn't do much for me sorry.

Sexy! Really nice pose and everything ;-) I even like that her elbow is slightly out of the frame.

Composition: 9 - Nicely done. The negative space on the right works very well. I find the elbow being cut off a little distracting, but keeping it tight worked well overall.
Technical: 8 - Really nice lighting giving a nice variety in background shade as well as emphasizing the shape of the model's body. The B&W is also a good choice here. The only thing is that the left arm seems a lot brighter than the rest which leads the eye there (which happens to be the weak point in the crop imo)
Creativity: 7 - The choice of clothing, lighting, and just seeing the back make this quite a creative portrait, as well as the pose. It looks like she's doing her hair and you've caught her in between shots, which I really like the feeling of.
Appeal: 10 - Very nice black and white work, classy shot, and not being pervy or anything, but a very nice subject too! :)

Overall Calculated Average Score: 9 (bumped) :)

I'm not that great a fan of this sort of shot but this does seem to be a good one, good shape.

I like it for what it implies more than what it shows.

Some thoughts:

-Absolutely stunning!!
-Black and white is perfect here!
-Love the contrast!
-In my opinon, this would be better if the legs were not included in the frame.
