Very cute! The expression is a great mix of tenderness and "are you done yet?"
02/04/2007 12:20:03 PM
Very pretty pose. I wish the toes weren't cut off.
02/03/2007 03:33:20 AM
I think that this one will ribbon... likely red.

Beautiful model, feel like she is squeezed into the edge of the picture however.
02/01/2007 01:47:55 PM
Very nice image. The only thing I don't like is how your models feet are chopped off on the bottom of the frame and she seems a little "stiff". Perhaps if she had relaxed her shoulders a bit more, it would seem more natural and less like she is trying to "cover up". I like the use of negative space on the right, but it like it's cropped a smidge too tight on the left side. Nice use of lighting and post processing. I even like the soft shadow behind the model.

Super cute pose, model looks a little tense (understandable its not everyday we sit in front of a camera trying to cover our bits ;) ) Only suggestions i'd offer at first glance (for what its worth coming from me) is be aware of cutting off toes etc in the frame which i'm sure you've heard a zillion times so far and relaxing the shoulders goes miles in making a model appear more relaxed. When we are tense we tend to draw them up around our necks.

Really dig this tho, she is adorable as well.
02/01/2007 02:30:58 AM
nice, I love how you got such color against the white, would like more negative space above her head and below her non-cutoff feet, 8
01/31/2007 06:11:40 PM
I like the lighting and the general posing, but the positioning just seem a bit too off. 6
01/31/2007 05:48:49 PM
Great use of negative space. The lighting is very good and composition is perfect. Nice going! Pretty model too!
01/31/2007 05:09:37 PM
This image is awesome! But why why why did you crop off the feet! Beautiful model, great lighting & I like the composition. 7
01/31/2007 05:04:11 PM
a nice and innocent photo of a nice and innocent girl :)

ofcourse I don't know if this is what you were looking for, but it's a bit too innocent for me ;)
01/31/2007 02:37:12 PM
Interesting, different, beautiful model, good job withe the lighting - good luck in the challenge!
01/31/2007 12:27:07 PM
Comp is off here. She's way to close to the edge and the feet are cut off, adn that unfortunately makes it look very ackward in my opinion. Not appealing to the eye even though the model is very attractive. The capture of the moment itself is good, even the lightining is good, but Comp....needs some work. 6
01/31/2007 08:44:30 AM
your model looks posed, and cold. Maybe a beer or two to lighten her spirits would have been a good tactic. As a matter of fact, I struggle too with getting my model to lighten up, maybe I will try the beer or two thing myself. Still a wonderful photo, and an absolutely stunning model.
01/31/2007 02:19:14 AM
Well exposed and your model is nude, but she looks very uncomfortable. The crop of the feet is awkward too.
01/31/2007 12:34:43 AM
Nice image, but I don't like that the feet are cut off.
01/30/2007 11:50:50 PM
Lovely model. Great job with the lighting and exposure. I think the composition might be a little stronger if her feet were not cut off in the frame and there were just a little breathing room on the left of frame.
01/30/2007 09:32:57 PM
wonderful comp. love the use of neg. space but your model looks stiff almost scared which takes away from the beauty of the shot.
01/30/2007 08:12:40 PM
Nice photo, attractive model.
01/30/2007 06:54:31 PM
Nice concept, legs started to blow out a bit though.
01/30/2007 01:46:50 PM
Great shot - good lighting, focus and DOF and the colour is nice too. But the composition feels a bit off balance. Maybe get rid of all that white on the right?
01/30/2007 12:32:54 PM
She looks a little timid and I think the composition allows for this. Very interesting the way this came together. Good light.
01/30/2007 10:53:18 AM
Nicely exposed but she doesn't look comfortable and the feet are cut off. The vulnerable look might work with a different lighting setup though.
01/30/2007 07:04:10 AM
very nice model. the composition is good. I don't like the cut on the foots. 6
01/30/2007 06:37:09 AM
Love the composition of this one.....
01/30/2007 05:55:25 AM
good lighting. she looks very unrelaxed. had not cropped her feet and also less tight above her head. composition is unbalanced
01/30/2007 12:51:13 AM
She seems a little uncomfortable, but it is nicely done.
01/29/2007 11:14:56 PM
Not centered, but a bit more to the right would make this more appealing to me.
01/29/2007 10:21:31 PM
Model looks too uncomfortable.
01/29/2007 08:25:41 PM
great pose and lighting, also i like where she is positioned in the frame - 9
01/29/2007 08:07:02 PM
the composition works for me!! nicely done!
01/29/2007 07:29:23 PM
For all the skin showing, the eyes make the shot. Nicely done--8.
01/29/2007 05:40:05 PM
i like the off set subject but wosh her feet were not cut off, nice light too
01/29/2007 03:56:19 PM
i would like it better with visible feet..and tightly cropped on the oposite side
01/29/2007 03:20:50 PM
I like the lighting here but the composition really feels uncomfortable. I do like the skin tones and softness in the models face
01/29/2007 03:07:33 PM
Very sweet and shy look on her face, matching the pose well. I wish the feet weren't cut off. :( Nicely done though, 6.
01/29/2007 02:34:12 PM
Quite honest, real, and refreshing. Back to bump this up. I really liek this. Vulnerable but self-assured, if that makes sense.
01/29/2007 02:04:29 PM
she looksa little uncomfortable the pose does not help quite uncomfortable with thisimage, cut off fingers and toes do not add to this as well
01/29/2007 01:41:44 PM
Very nice lights and skin tines. I like the nervous expression which relates so well with the title
01/29/2007 11:35:24 AM
nice composition 8
01/29/2007 09:49:18 AM
very pretty girl..great photo..good job! 9
01/29/2007 09:15:42 AM
easily one of the most serious entries i've seen yet. great shot! 9
01/29/2007 09:13:23 AM
i was going to give you a 10 ... but i'm honestly not happy that you cut her feet off. 9 from me. good composition! :)
01/29/2007 06:58:13 AM
Would look better without the feet being cut off.
01/29/2007 06:56:29 AM
I liked the expression on her face.
Though it is a nude challenge can't take my eyes off her face.
01/29/2007 06:52:31 AM
The unusual composition really makes this image - the strong negative space and the way her feet lead out of the frame makes for a powerful effect.
01/29/2007 06:49:24 AM
Lovely lady, looks a little vulnerable. Something about the lighting troubles me, but I'm far from an expert.
01/29/2007 05:17:25 AM
This is an excellent shot! Bravo!
01/29/2007 05:16:47 AM
lovely, why did you choose to cut of her feet?
01/29/2007 03:38:27 AM
Artful.
01/29/2007 03:23:28 AM
It's a shame the feet aren't in the picture - seems to be extremely off to the side.
01/29/2007 03:21:01 AM
I think the lighting and focus are superb. I like off-balance compositions, but this one is a little too off. If the flow of the model's body pointed into the negative space, or her gaze helped bring some balance, that would help a lot.
01/29/2007 01:21:38 AM
you made me smile with this one... with the way you composed it, I can feel how she would like to move about 2 ft. to the right and be out of the picture all together...

Well done
01/29/2007 01:06:21 AM
I think cut off feet spoil this. I like the soft shadow at the back, and her jewellery compliment her pretty face. She doesn't appear to be having much fun and neither am I!.
01/29/2007 01:02:04 AM
very sweet - innocence in nude photography isnt often encountered here, so I'd say you have really accomplished something special... A+
