Excellent shot. Just the right amount of focus & softness. It's a little "in-your-face" for me personally, but the look she's tossing over her shoulder is great. This scored a 7 from me during the challenge. :-)
I liked this series when I first saw it cheeseman, and I still do. The pose is a little provocative but I love the expression and the lines created by the limbs, clothing, and hair. I predict top ten!
The pose and the facial expression don't really leave much upto the imagination, not exactly my choice of model though.
Nice soft blur effect used though.
nice butt, i mean, shot. the lighting is guiding my eyes towards her face, eventho i'd rather be looking at her rear if you know what i mean. anyway, it works, and the exposure is good.
fotoman! this your condom shot! I must admit, great work....i'm a sucker for women....blondes...
This is a nice classy shot! good taste. great lighitng. really good processing. good composition. this is my far some of your finest work. i actually like the whole series of these. 9
Not my type of image at all, sadly (being a woman) I am always inclined to think these images are out to titalate the men (which often works) but I will try to offer an unbiased critique! IMHO the lighting on the models face is a little too harsh and the way the left leg leaves the frame makes the pose look a little awkward. The light on the background is nice but I find the pattern against the plain sofa doesn't work. For me, the lighting on the models back is nicely done and if you could have had the same on the face this would have been better (this is just my humble opinion)
well leroy, a good choice for entry as it made a magazine here in Australia...I am not into nude images, not because I am against nudity, and I am certainly not against the human (especially female) form, but because I know what pornography addiction does to some people...but I would have to say, this is your best image and I am sure it will do well
Really interesting perspective as it is somewhat "In your face". The model's pose appears very much beckoning and is borderline erotic. The image is soft and the tones are silky. Good luck on this rather provocative entry.
Anyone who reads the forums had seen this before. It's a shame that you chose such a well-known image for this challenge. It is still a good image but the edge has been taken off it a bit. I'll still give a fair score.
I don't have it in me to vote on this challenge. but hope you do well. I think you have done well to just touch on the boundaries of what people feel comfortable with - hopefully the DPC conservatives don't punish you too badly. Very much 'you'.
Only complaint is the slight blow-out on the face - a little harsh for my taste.
