Greetings from the Critique Club
Composition: Nice composition and posing of the model. I agree with the other comments that say that it should either be centered or slightly more off center to be completely pleasing. I'd also like to see the light picked up on the bicep of her left arm - I think that'd solve the problem with it getting lost in her chin. She'd probably have to cheat the arm out a little bit, which might change the way her breast sits.
Background: I like your choice of white to grey - how the divide is at her body. It helps the overall drama of the shot. I wouldn't mind something with a little more color in it - either starkly cool or exceptionally warm.
Camera Work: (Focus/DOF/Exposure) - the focus is soft and continuous and feels appropriate for the subject.
Post Processing: The color/saturation/contrast is perfect. The fleshtones are brought out well by the color temperature.
The Challenge: There's a bit too much flesh and detail I think for a silhouette, which may be why it didn't win outright (or maybe it was the subject matter).
My Opinion: A wonderfully posed and masterful shot. Personally, I found the pose a little bland and it feels more like a "study" or "sketch" than a finished work. Maybe a little more twist to her back to give the lines more interest. Your ability to shoot flesh and have it feel warm and soft is wonderful (obviously your model deserve some credit there).
Please let me know if these comments are helpful. If you have any other comments or questions please feel free to PM me. |

I often shoot nudes and have yet to get the lighting even close to this, it is stunning, absolutely stunning. It brings out the contours of her body perfectly, showing every shape to perfection. 10
I hope there is details of exactly how you lit this one, if not I'd love to know.
10, best of the challenge for sure. |

| Very nice. The silhouetted face is the best part of this, but I would have preferred a seperation between the chin and arm. I am not sure about the gradient background though. |

Normally I think that nudes are passe, but when I see a really good one, I score it appropriately.. 10.

| Classic subject for a silhouette, very well done. I'd prefer the shadows to be deeper though, there are still some gradients on her face, arm, and breast. Also I'd remove the slight halo on her left side (sharpening artifact?). But the pose is great and the highlights on her back are beautiful. 8 |

| Nice view. I think I'd prefer just a little less light on the right, place more of the subject in shadow. |

beautiful transfer of light to dark on her body. i like the hand positions, it creates a nice flowing line from top to bottom, diagonally.
i like how there is a silhouette here and yet the feeling of soft texture of the skin is given. |

| It's a beautiful silhouette. I only wish the background were a bit more evenly distributed but, maybe that's just a personal preference for me? Your composition is great. |

Ok, rules revisited: 'Silhouettes are created by backlit subjects, which causes them to appear solid and without much detail'.
Now, looking at this picture, take the words 'soft' and 'solid' and have to remove one. Left with 'solid'? Didn't think so.
I love it! :-) |

| Fantastic. Not only is she a gorgeous women, perfect for the image, but she is also photographed in a perfect way. The shadows and highlights on her body are just exactly in the right places. The background shows a perfect gradient at the right place, so the left part becomes a pure silhouette while the right adds depth and shape. |

| Beautifully lit (on the model) but would prefer more even lighting on the backdrop. She's also not off-centre enough to be considered off-centre - it just feels as though you've missed the centre - I'd put her more accurately in centre or further off. |

| Too much highlighting on body for silhouette. Grey background to left looks ugly and artificial |

| The lighting on her back is very nice. The merger with her left arm and chin is unfortunate. I'd like to see a different colored background - perhaps blue toned? |
