Excellent! This one evokes a sultry feel. Something that makes me think of hot summer nights in Miami. Great sillouette, and excellent light placement. My bar none fave! 10.

I like the idea however the pose seems a little artificial. The light sources might have looked better if they were smoother across the whole image or placed behind the body to get a sharper silhouette.

Wowsers! That's probably getting you some interesting comments, to say the least! Very good silhouette; nice composition. Palm tree is a tad distracting; other than that it's a nice photo that fits the challenge. :o)

well she looks happy wonder whos behind her lol

Certainly the most intriguing. I like the different shadows on the sheet and the detail of the palm frond in front.

Nice colors and silhouette. Palm fronds in foregroud add interest.

awesome! love the shadowing! -- 8

This "wow" comes from a lover of fine photography and a good profile. Any other shape wouldn't have worked.

very creative.
05/27/2004 04:10:02 PM
exquisite! What a great shot

The palm frond doesn't add anything for me (doesn't even really "frame" the subject in any way), and the light sources distract a little. Otherwise, I really like the orange glow and the shadow play.

This is a great idea, and would have scored hire, except for the lights, as they are clearly staged. They distract greatly. The palm branch in front is a great effect and makes the scene seem to be not so staged. -7

Great idea, very sexy... Its original and the shadow is very clear! Well done.
05/26/2004 12:37:56 PM
Find this really artistic.

I find the palm fonds in the left too distracting from the main conposition...

Fantastic image. Love the colours and the softness of the shot. 9

This is not a good shot in my opinion and I'll tell you why:

The light probably should have been placed in a way so as to elongate the shadows. Here, the light is in the wrong position. If you look at the outstretched leg, it is not long and sexy, it is short and stubby.

The way the model is posed, it looks like she is trying to climb up, onto, and over the chair to get at something behind it. It's not natural.

I like the curtain but I can't tell what is/was in focus
