I really like the bottom half, but I don't get the connection with the monitor. Sorry! Still giving an OK score because of the great lighting and scene.

A Kiss To Twist Your Loneliness

The lighting has been mentioned before, as has the subject. For a nude to do well here it has to be flawless, as there are a number of users that vote low to anything nude. You've also lost the perv vote by using men.

For me, I think kudos to you for the attempt - try it again with the suggestions Jutilda and JulietNN made. Although you didn't use a direct flash (from reading your notes) - the lighting does need work. Try to soften out some of those harsh shadows.

Feel honoured that a couple of people likened it to the work of Michelangelo!

With models willing to pose like that, you have the potential to produce some great art.

Even as shot, there is no way this belongs at this end of the results.

I like the light and the tones, so technically good, but I think his lower arm would be better with the wrist bent so we could see his mouth. Should be high scoring!

Where's Waldo?

I thought I could see him - then I realised it was a dust bunny on my monitor. Perfect representation of darkness, just a little out of focus. Perhaps try recomposing the shot a little, I find the top left corner a little distracting.

You were robbed in the voting. This shot is stunning.

Table Shot III

Great chess table - not sure why you have the remote control and shell there, I feel it detracts from the picture.

A very pretty place, try to take this at either end of the day (whichever has the sun behind you the most) when you can reduce the glare, and also get the sky to have some colour.

By far the best of this type - A little more light in the middle of the flower would have made it even better.
