Thank you to my lovely Wife for basically doing anything I asked her to do. We had a bunch of really good images from this shoot, but this one really stood out for us because you can see the catch-lights in her eyes over the sunglasses and also the reflection of her body in the lenses of the glasses.

meh. sorry, the focus is off and your image doesn't say anything to me. nor do the reflections which are rather busy.

I like the use of the sunglasses to reflect other parts of the body. Lighting seems a little flat, and turning the model a little to the side would help to create more shadows. Maybe a partial desaturation leaving the glasses in colour.

I do miss a bit of focus here. the reflections are nice

Very interesting take on the challenge. I like how the nudity is implied and when you look closely at the reflections, it becomes even more obvious. Nice setup. The lighting is a bit harsh and this may have more appeal in black and white.

I think this photo would have been better with a different reflection coming from the glasses.

almost a snapshot look to this shot. Not sure what would have helped. Maybe a rose or flower in front???

Chair is distracting. Would have been nice to fill the eyeglasses with legs.

I amnever sure if a straight on view of the figure is the right way to go,but I see your idea in this 7

pretty neat.

Interesting idea. Might have been more effective if you'd concentrated more on the glasses.

good crop and pose, thouhh i had preferre to see a little more of her eyes. natural skin tones. orange border and irregular background are distracting.

Very intriguing shot. I like the reflections in the sunglasses, but I don't like that I can see part of her eyes. I would have I think prefereed the glasses up a bit higherto hide that, but still show the reflection. Good Luck

I really like the reflections in the glasses, The only thing I would have tried is to only see glasses and not the the tops of the eyes. Very nice work, 6.

A hint of anonymity, AND good use of props - well done!
