I just want you to know that this photograph and the situation in which it was taken is EXTREMELY Modivating for me. If I had looked at this just alone without the history of it - I would think, "Wow, this is WAY out of my league. I'll never be this creative or able... I'm sure it took forever and lots of money."
You make the dream a lot closer for me, Thanks. |

Looks like Caravaggio painting. Or Leonardo - he loved this kind of gesture. Could be also Michelangelo sculpture. Art - in one word.
Congratulations! |

Nico,
I usually view this site in order to learn about technical aspects of photography, or about what is appealing to other people. I rarely expect to see something that I consider truly beautiful, and I almost never expect to see something that is worth remembering. Yet, I have found both here. I love the best in man, and it is that which you have captured. Your picture is Romantic in the sense that it shows the ideal, what man should be, and what he has the capabilities to achieve. That's why I love it. You are showing something worth seeing, and you are showing it in an appealing way. You deserve the ribbon, but more than that, you deserve my admiration. This is the kind of picture I hope to take someday. |

Well Nick: here you lead the pack of the heavyweights and nose them out of the BLUE to establish a new benchmark and the raising of the stakes to a higher level, higher than ever before.
Your image is sheer poetry in the layout, pose, lighting and composition. You picked a classic theme and did you polish it to achieve an uncanny perfection.
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR BLUE! A new Master has been born! |

All the best for this and future challenges.

I usually try to leave comments with some substance, but all I can say is Wowsers!
...no wait, this is nice, real nice. Great lines, great lighting, great focus. Splendid composition. Just an awesome tone/feeling in the image. The cloth draped about is an excellant finishing touch. Only small nitpick upon further study, perhaps having the cloth uncovering the end of the foot, perhaps not, I do find this a superb nude study. Overall- Wowsers! |

| I love the lighting in this shot, the sheet seems a bit out of place for me (maybe a piece of silk, not quite as bulky and perhaps a different color to blend a bit more (hope that makes sense) but I still like it a lot and it is one of my favorites in this challenge. Good luck |

| Well Nico, I'd kinda hoped you'd find someone else to use your expertise on, but this is an excellent effort nonetheless. Lighting is spot on - which is particularly impressive given that I'm pretty sure you don't exactly have a fancy set-up at your disposal. 9 |
