Give it some room on the left hand side and this would be great. Extremely sensual :)

I like the closeup and water droplets. I wonder what this would look like as a high contrast black & white?
 08/28/2005 03:34:13 PM
Try rotating 90 and cropping out most of the flat black.
 08/28/2005 01:56:21 PM
Nicely done. Great textures with the water drops.
 08/28/2005 04:35:01 AM
nice idea, love the textures and lighting, just wish there was a little more body (not much, just a little). might have been a good candidate for bw.
 08/27/2005 11:46:05 PM
Wow! Is this glycerine too?
 08/27/2005 03:02:10 PM
I like this, but if you didn't have the water drops and the title you would never know what it is. Good luck in the challenge.
 08/27/2005 12:02:42 PM
Beautifully simple. Superb lighting & exposure and great focus. I really like this...less is more as they say.

a little dark for my taste. Looks very similar to some shots that i've seen on here before. The water gives a nice texture. The backround shows off this curve very nicely. One of the better shots that doesn't show anything really. 7.

Very subtle and sensual. Well done! Interplay of light and shadow is wonderful. 9

Just the tiniest bit too dark (my monitor?), but I like this shot. Sharp focus, subtle light.
 08/25/2005 11:52:18 AM
Simple and well done. Great shot and good luck!
 08/25/2005 08:06:26 AM

Water was a good choice, but there isn't alot else to make you want to linger here.

i like it, very nice and cool idea, and amazing skin tone

I love the sharpness of the water droplets and the play of light and shadow

THis is hardly anything. I presume its skin with water on it. But doesn't reflect 'Nude' at all. This would've fit quite well in Texture.

Lighting seems very interesting tho. 5

Nice focus. Maybe too close. I have no idea what I am looking at.

Very subtle, worth a second look, usually only sumptuous fruit is photographed with this attention to detail.

Very nice minimalist shot. I'd almost like to see the model shifter further to the right though, to allow more negative space and compliment the beautiful line.

Hard to tell what I am looking at but I see that it is wet skin. The "curve" doesn't come through.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/23/2005 07:42:45 AM
looks like some clean sweat.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/23/2005 04:28:06 AM
This is nice, but I think with better lighting could be made more stunning.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/23/2005 02:34:11 AM
too dark.. so frustrating to me. lovr the idea though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/22/2005 08:42:54 PM
Not a whole lot to look at there. As an abstract of sorts it looks ok. Good luck though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/22/2005 07:52:01 PM
Well done technically, but boring compositionally. Love the water drops though. 7

Excellent texture, you just want to touch that skin. I wish you luck with the challenge. I also really love the choice of spot.

I think the overall image is a tad dark, at least on my monitor. Other than that, perfect. Nice curve. Nice drops. Nice focus. Nice dof. Nice lighting. Nice bg. Nice use of a border.

nice water drops, good color
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/22/2005 04:46:43 PM
i like that - the essence of skin 9
 08/22/2005 03:10:43 PM
kind of abstract, nice water capture. More of your model in this image may have an even greater impact
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/22/2005 02:20:40 PM
Very nice, even though not a full nude, excellant-9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/22/2005 02:16:41 PM
the texture is great, it would lend well to b&w. I whish there was a distingusiting feature like a bellybutton or a outline of the hip bone or such to give the curve a context.

Beautiful! wonderful detail <8>
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The sharpness of this is superb. I think the lighting could be a little better and I think the water droplets (sweat?) was unnecessary.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/22/2005 10:20:59 AM
Nice capture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/22/2005 09:54:23 AM
The title says curves but instantly the first thing I think is skin, water droplets. Maybe if the skin were dry and the side of the curve more better lit.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/22/2005 08:33:45 AM
Very sexy and subtle.I love the idea of it and the clarity of the droplets but it's so subtle that a little more of the body with a bit more light might really bring it up in my opnion.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/22/2005 08:30:56 AM
very good abstract. water drops and skin are very detailed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/22/2005 03:48:57 AM
The image is slightly on the dark side side but I think you've done a good job capturing the water droplets. The focus is perfect, lighting well done. I would have liked a better balance between the black and the skin - maybe 50/50 to really accent the curve.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/21/2005 08:33:48 PM
Good focus and abstract feel. The water dropplets really make the photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/21/2005 08:15:04 PM
which part of the body is it?
 08/21/2005 08:10:33 PM
Nice take on the theme.
