Hey there from the Critique Club
My thoughts on the image: The first thing that strikes me about your capture is the pose. The flow you created is wonderful and the form is beautiful. I feel that the branches from her tattoo continue to flow through her body and into the form she is creating. Your composition is the strength of this particular image. Well created.
My ideas for improvement: I'd like to see to see better, more even lighting and even more contrast to the image as a whole. I think that lighting her from the camera from might have yielded a better result to the overall image. Don't get me wrong, I love the shadows and drama you created with the lighting. My only complaint is the semi-hot spot on her hands. That area immediately grabs my eye and competes for attention from the overall frame. Also, a bit of a curves adjustment would have added a nice bit of contrast to the capture.
Where I would have/did score this entry: As is, I would have placed this one right there near the peak of your bell curve. I would have voted this one in the 6 or 7 range. With a little more contrast and even lighting, this one would have easily edged closer the the front page. Again, well seen and nicely captured. Growing the score on this one would have been relatively easy considering the strength of the image that has already been created.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric

| A very interesting tension between an almost Ballet like pose giving one image of how your model might be on stage going through a classical dance - and the huge tatoo on her back which gives quite a different dynamic to the shot. |

| I find the lighting a bit harsh on the right arm and hand, and the pose looks rather awkward. |

| I like the art form. There is some harsh lighting on her arms though. Also with a model having tattoos like that on her back, you could have really pulled something interesting out of it. |

| This is an interesting shot. The pose is not your average nude pose, lol, and I like the lighting used! Nice job. |

| Wow. Powerful pose. Is that a real Tat on the back, of a tree? Has a Japanese feel... If the arms were higher at different positions it'd really look like a tree growing toward the light. Nice. |
