Reflective Jazz

I really like this image - good composition and great use of reflections. Capturing the movement in the hands works well too. The only distraction for me is the timber wall in the reflection as it seems out of context. Maybe hanging a sheet or something to cover it up would provide better contrast and less distraction (8)

An oldie but a goodie. I like your composition here and the lighting works to show form without losing detail in highlights or shadows. Nice clean image (8)

I really like the perspective and framing here. Maybe a little dark for some but I don't mind that with this shot. Good DOF and sharp (8)

Nice composition and vibrant colour where required. Good lighting to enhance the midtones and the white background is not blown out (9)

Congrats on your top 10 - superb image with great colour and contrast. I gave it a 10 during voting and I would give it a 10 now. I didn't bother entering into shallow discussions in the current forum thread about whether or not this is offensive and I find the notion completely out of context and made from sheer ignorance.
There is absolutely nothing offensive about it (and we have our fair share of racism here in Australia) - pure art. Extremely well done and an image to be proud of.

You have the best lighting technique of anyone on this site (that I have seen). Not only that, but you have an envious ability to portray the human form in the most amazing ways.
I am in total awe of your studio work - you're gonna have to share secrets one day :)

Very nice Aussie - provocative, nice contrasting light showing just enough detail of the model's form and well composed. The monochrome treatment works with this image too
