4 - Nicer image with a tighter crop on the right and the skin tones softened a little, in my opinion - but depends what you were aiming for.

He'd been lost in the woods for what seemed like days. He'd been separated from his group when he'd heard what had sounded like a strangled cry from a copse of trees, but when he'd investigated, had seen nothing. Turning to go back to the path, he'd found that he couldn't find it. All there had been was vegetation, and none of it familiar.

Panicked, he'd scrambled this way and that, running around, crying out, desperate for find his mates. There had been no answering calls, the path remained elusive, and the more he went, the deeper and deeper into the woods he seemed to go.

Now, as he stumbled along in the golden light just before another night fell (and he dreaded that nightfall, for it gave birth to sounds and presences that chilled his very heart), he suddenly came into a clearing that he hadn't seen before. He looked around, blinking his eyes, and then stopped dead. There, half folded into the leaves and grasses, lay the most captivating being he had ever seen. It had the appearance of a nude, hauntingly beautiful woman, but something told him that this was no human female, for it exuded an aura that transfixed him, muddled him.

The being turned its head and smiled, eyes shining and glinting in the golden light. He stood there, slack-jawed and still. It lifted a hand and silently beckoned to him. At that, any will he might have had drifted away and he went to her.

He went to her, and as he reached her, he gazed on in horror as she transformed into an evil without description, and then he knew no more.

gorgeous warm tone... one of my highest votes

This is really nice
I love how the very nice eyes stand out - and the clarity in the shiny hair. Beautiful skin tones and very seasonal.

Nice colors, and love her expressions.

Nice color, model and shot.
I don't think the leaves on her chest add to the composition, though.

The hair and eyes are lovely. The sunset light coupled with her make-up has caused her face to be a tad orange, I'd lower the red or orange hue channel to make her skin tone look a bit more natural. The use of DOF on her body is effective. I also think your perspective, being there on the ground beside her as opposed to looking down, is a really good choice.

High impact image good processing on the eyes..

You know no grass is going to grow there right! ;) Nice capture!

could possibly be the most beautiful capture of light i've ever seen for a portrait; beautiful model, great shot!

Whoa...10. A virtually perfect image in every way. I'm not a big fan of nudes, even less so in color. Absolutely amazing, may your score reflect the exquisite quality of this image. Wow!

Lovely light, excellent focus, beautiful , 8

I know she's smiling and all, but I've watched too much CSI and it is (was) Halloween), but the way she's positioned I get the impression she's dead (other than the whole smiling thing and she doesn't look dead). *shrug*

It's still a nice shot though. I'm just morbid.
