Nice shot. Good lighting / tones. I wish her lip wasn't cut off, though.

Like the tones/high contrast of the image. I wish you had done more or less of the head. Crop/composition, POV, DOF all good.

This photograph would be stronger if the top edge of the model's lips weren't cut off by the edge of the frame.

Great composition and lighting.

nice high key effort. I would of really liked it in portrait rather than landscape and had her face in it a little more. nice model! well done.

I think this pose and lighting would have benefitted a bit by having a background. The crop on the face is sort of in an odd spot and the lighting is a little harsh, so maybe if there was an attractive background it could help to make the image a little more pleasing. As it is it's a beautiful model and a decent pose....just something is lacking for me to make it a great shot.

I don't understand why this needed validated. Beautiful picture, excellent lighting and lovely skin tones. Very good work. 10

Nice shot, but to improve composition without showing your models face, try focusing on a specific characteristic (body part, etc.). The half-face and towel distract from what seems to be your intended subject.

I don't really like the cropping on this, the lips have been cut off too severely, I woud have prefered to see a touch more face.

This is a good shot. The contrast is nice.

One of my favorites for the challenge, even though it's a little blown out in spots.

Interestin composition with great tones to enhance the sensuality. Bumping up.

if there were still detail on the towel, this would get a lot more points from me. as it is, the pure and glowing white makes the cut-off shape oddly disconcerting.looks like you used the camera's built-in flash or maybe a hotshoe pointing straight forward. in this case, it's made interesting lines around the breasts, but on the arm and chin they do not flatter. a natural light source or a softer light with a different angle would have showcased this obviously lovely model much better.

crop off the bottom white thing and this would have been nice
  Photographer found comment helpful.

very nice shot, the static in the hair, as well as the loops of what looks like hair on the other side of her chin are distracing. OI can barely tell that it's not, but I'd guess that the areas where her arms dissappear into probably a robe or a towel looks a bit edited, and a bit odd in it's context. Good luck.

Beautiful shot, lighting is great on the model (very beautiful btw) and the pose looks relaxed and natural.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I´d like to see the face of the model. The rest of the pic is good. 6

Very nice. Lighting seems a bit harsh and direct though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2005 08:16:54 PM
It looks as if you used straight on-camera flash causing the closest breast to seem oddly lighter than the other one. The thing that is really unfortunate is the way the model's upper lip was cropped out. To me, these problems make this seem more of a snapshot than an attempt to capture the beauty of the model.

Composition is interesting, unfortunatly i do not enjoy the way the face was cut (cutting parts of the upper lips take away from the 'erotica' feel for the picture). Lighting is somewhat weak as it brings good blacks but too much whites. A bit void on the left makes this picture a little too open for my taste. 6

why was it necessary to have this photo validated? in any case, seems like the iso setting was a bit high because noise is noticeable. still a very nice shot.

what a pic if only we could also see a face...

Well done technically, but boring compositionally. 6.

I like the skin tones and how they contrast with the white bg. Nice focus and dof, well done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the white background. I like the contrast between her skin and hair, and the background. Great shot.

that is naomi campbell isn't it???

08/22/2005 02:26:31 PM
including more of her face and lower torso would have made this a better composition IMO otherwise well captured
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice shot - not so keen on the croping at the head. I would like to have seen that included. But excellent exposure and tonal range captured. Lovely pose too.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great capture.... maybe just a hair to high key though... the robe/towel is completely blown out.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The lighting and the image are nice, but I don't like the crop.
The mouth is somehow distraction, berhaps as it is partially cropped.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 10:50:05 AM
Had this as a 9, then bumped it to 10. The lips make the picture. Perhaps just a tad harsh lighting on her left breast (that was the original beef, but I overlooked it)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This image has a lot of potential. The lighting is great and the pose is interesting.
I cant help but wonder why you left such a small amount of towel in the image - the towel is blown out and doesnot add to the composition. I also would have liked to see the top cropped just a tiny bit higher to encompass the models entire lip - she has such lovely full lips that compliment the entire image nicely, it is a shame to have cut them just a tiny bit short.

This has more of a quick snap feel to me. Maybe use a soft filter would have helped a bit.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

i think the cloth near the bottom is an unnecessary distraction bcos is cuts the figure abruptly with and also it blends with the white background and has little to no detail.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very good title for this image. Very attractive model, who is well lit and photographed in a very tasteful manner. I like the skin tones, and the texture in the hair. The only thing I would have liked to see different is more detail in what ever the white object is at the bottom. Otherwise a very stunning image, you should be very proud of. <8>

Classic looking. A nicely done shot. Not sure about the crop, but not totally unhappy about it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the composition, though the (?)towel(?) at the bottom of the shot distracts me a lot. It breaks up the otherwise smooth lines and curves.

bizarre crop, not sure !
