no offense meant, but I truly do not understand how this pic scored so well. Composition is decent, but the overall look is contrived and campy. The background is distracting and while the light/dark balance of the composition is passable, the rest of it is completely unremarkable, even amateurish. I don't find her at all sexy. She looks bored to me.

There are hundreds of better shots in this challenge.

scratching my head.

Classy ... I like the style, the only thing I don't like is the feet sticking up like that
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 01:17:50 AM
light is a little harsh, to me this should a little more mysterious, her leg and feet are a little distracting

sorry this just doesn't appeal to me...your subject isn't in "crisp focus" it is just a little "soft"

Black & red - great combo. Model has a very naughty look on her face. Really great portrait
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 12:45:05 PM
The lighting is nearly 100% for me, just a touch more brightness on the eye. A slight crookedness bothers me a little as well (top arm of the couch isn't level - but these are minor nitpicks for a fine image.

Nice choice of colours (red, white & black)
