Reminds me of a peacock.

mmmmm...... I don't like the model expression, probably her position isn't comfortable or the camera is in a bad position. the colours are a bit smooth perhaps a bit of contrast add something to the image. 6

this is a gorgeous image but it seems very flat. Just a bump in contrast. Also I'd rather see the model without makeup- maybe it's the pose that seems so old fashioned or maybe now that I look again, with that makeup of the pin up girls? Red lips and fake eyelashes? anyhow, it's a great start!!! :0)

she is beautiful but does not really say "weekend". I love the shot and the model though. so 6 from me...but I fear you will get hammered by the anti-nude brigade.

she looks very very uncomfortable and the catch lights on her face make her look like she is sweating. the contrast is way off in this shot as well. i think the washed out lack of contrast would have worked in sepia but not in color. your composition is very nice but everything else just feels really awkward

Spent your weekend paying homage to Marilyn? Now, there's a different weekend activity! *grin* Well, the nude shot should bring in some votes........always does!

Still not sure what you did with your weekend.

good pic, but it looks like there's a haze over the whole photograph.

Nudes always get good scores from me ... going for a nostalgic look I would have converted to b/w or sepia ... I think the lighting could have been just a bit more on the model as well but, nude women always make for a good weekend in my book :)

Cool pose and setup. The color here is faded somehow. The contrast should be raised some more.
