Stunning, the way the use of duotone and light have set a mood! Great work!

Fantastic composition.....I love it. The only nit pic is that the light isn't more drastic or dramatic...........still this is my top three!!!!!! Beautiful work.

Very romantic. It looks as if it could be from another century. I like the lighting and your choice of keeping it in the tan tones. Much more effective than had you gone black and white or kept it in color. I like the feeling of softness it evokes.

I may have liked it slightly sharper, but it's a nicely done image!

Nice shot, good lighting. I know her body is off-centre, but it just doesn't feel off-centred to me - my problem I know, just picky I guess - a little less of a tight crop on the left would look good IMO.

Mmm. Vodka. As everyone knows, vodka is best experienced when frozen, making your colour choice absolutely perfect as it is reminiscent of ice. I am not sure if it would have worked better against a dark background or not -- the bottle does stand out, if not as much as I would have thought. I think a little less blue-tone shadow/refaction on the left center edge would have made it stand out better as well.

Oh wow. I dont think I've ever seen one of these before. I've definately heard of them, but I guess I've just never came across one. Very pretty.
Definately fits the challenge well. Got all 3 colors in one shot. The colors stand out really nicely on the black background as well. Nothing distracting in the background. Nice and simple.
The angle and framing/cropping are good. I like how this sneaks in from the top, and leads your eyes all the way to the point on the end.
My only suggestion would be to have the entire photo in focus. most of it is already in focus, which leaves the small tiny part that is out of focus to be a bit of a distraction. I'd like to see that tip nice and sharp.
Lighting is good. Brings out the colors nicely. Good focus on the part that is in focus. You show us some really nice detail here, and I like that very much.

I wish the background wasn't so bright. I like the content and diagonal composition.
