wow! this is amazing. powerful,erotic and tasteful. and as far as I'm concerned as a shot it has more to it than the others with a ribbon. You deserved to score better and be one of the winners.

Very strong composition. One of my favourites of the challenge.

A very well executed shot that I enjoy very much. The perspective and color tones are what stand out to me most as making this shot work well. Great work.

Nice mood that comes across to the viewer.

Great choice of angle, good light, fine post processing. The hair seems to have lost some texture/ structure which can look a bit odd but the rest is great. 9

Love it, the pose, the softness, everything about this picture says woman, it's feminine and evocative. 10

Great composition. Nicely contrasted zones from dark hair at base to light skin to dark background at top. Love the soft feeling. Curves throughout complement each other and are similarly softly shaped. Lighting is very effective. Congratulations on a very nice image.

nice orientation, but looks a bit overphotoshopped noise is fine to me the lose of image info in the hair isn't to my liking. 8...could've been a contender :)

Like everything except the effect on her hair. It distracts from what's going on in the rest of the photo. You don't need it.

Well composed. The sepia tones and use of shadows all add up for a nice image.

nice comp. i like the soft feel.

worth a 6 or 7, but the grain/noise confuses me some.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is lovely - the noise makes a real difference. It's a really classical looking image. I'd put this on my wall :-) [7]

I actually like the grain on this, but something somewhere looks over processed. The pose is well thought out, although having the model rasp her breast is more porno than sexy in my mind - that is fair enough - but when you submit it with the title peaceful it kind of fights that a little.

Overall i like this quite a lot - it does have that sexy quality to it. 8

Smart, seductive, and compositionally brilliant. The grainy, softness of this image evokes a wonderful sense of calm. I really don't have anything bad to say about this image, so it gets my highest score. Top 10 for sure.

I am impressed by the digital art aspect of this. Unfortunately, thumb and fingernipple pulling doesn't seem peaceful, erotic, not so peaceful.

Awesome 10

Lovely use of grain. I like the way the dark tumble of curls at the bottom of the frame balances the dark background at the top. I also like your tight crop and the composition it creates. You have captured a really sensuous ambiance. One of my top 3 this challenge.

A very powerful shot. I like your angle and crop. The details in her hair seem a bit out of focus though, which I find distracting. Her pose suggests, just suggests, and element of ecstasy or abandon, which is a very nice touch. Not overdone or lewd. Great shot!

Beautiful and serene. The hair is a little too edited(??) in comparison with the rest of the image for my taste, but doesn't change the absolute stunning image you have created.

very nice photo. nice use of sepia. grain is nice too. I like the details of the eyelashes. well done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The grain really adds texture to the image, and the hair looks like it was almost painted in. I really like this shot. It is well composed, well lit, and shot very...well. 10

Looks a little to over prosessed

I like this shot,
but it almost looks like levels were messed with to much. Still a great shot!
