| This is such a nice image. It was a wonderful attempt. It would be interesting to see if your wife would be willing to reshoot so you could see the difference had the focus been on her face. Keep everything else the same, but get her face and eyes. |

| Interesting angle. Nice soft feel. I'd either loose the border, or black out the area outside the border. Also, would like to see the eyes a bit sharper. |

| I like the soft feel and smooth skin tones in this shot. The lines of the blanket beneath her are a little distracting though. I wish her eyes were in a little sharper focus, as they can really connect the viewer to the subject. Great border, and black and white looks great here. |

| The focus here is a little low around her body while it should be on her eyes. Potraits should almost always be focused on the eyes because as humans, that is the first place we look for connection with another person. I like the soft lighting but I really need to see those eyes pop. |

| The item with the sharpest focus is the blanket. I assume that your title is not referring to the cloth, so replacing it with less distracting fabric &/or altering the focus would improve the image. I don't care for the border. |

| In my opinion (even in nude shots) you need to have the eyes of a portrait in focus for it to work, especially with your shallow depth of field here. Try this shot again after the challenge with the same DOF and focus on the eyes, I'm sure you'll end up with a much better final shot. |

| Very unique take on the subject but I wish you would have started the focus point on her face and worked down. The result would have been better (9) |

| Good perspective.... focus is too soft on her face, though. If her face were sharp, you would be drawn through the photo and along her body. Right now, the focus is her chest and you are just kind of thrown there. |

| I think the the area of focus would have been better on her lovely soulful face. I like the point of view. The blanket is a bit of a distraction. |

| Pretty lady. Possibly you were going for soft focus. Would have been so much better if her eyes were clear with catchlights in them to show more life. |

| Lovely angle, and brave woman to pose. I thihnk that the focus point is a bit off as her face is a bit out of focus. This as well as the border is mildly distracging going through her forehead. Good Luck. |

| With the eyes so prominent and drawing, I feel they really need to be much sharper. With a wide enoug appeture (low F) and zoom the rest of the image would have remained soft in focus. I do like the angle, pose and expression though. 6. |

| In this shot I really need the eyes (or at least the closest eye) in focus. Also the background and border are distracting. Nice pose and angle though. |

| It looks like the focus is a little deep for me, I'd like to se it on the face. Nice perspective on an interesting angle. The lighting is good, as is the crop. I'm not too sure about the blanket, I don't think it's needed. Good job and good luck. |

This is an interesting photo from an interestng angle.
I am not sure I like the out of focus face. I think it would have been better to make the face sharp, and throw the rest out of focus.
Lighting is very good. |

| The over=exposure and placement of lights flattens her face and chest. And I would have preferred the face in better focus. |

| I wish this were sharply focused. The blanket with the stripes is a bit distracting as well. I'd up the sharp and the contrast. The eye looking down is an idea that would work. |

| this is gorgeous- I just wish it wasn't off focus on her eyes/face. also I might have swept the hair off her shoulder to get that 'line' to make it aound & keep the eye moving. |

| A proof that not only anoretic girls or motel tipe of wimen can make good nude photos. Probably that's why everyone loves Butero sculptures and paintings. Just a shame that her face isn't in focus. But a good photo. |
