No border needed. Nice shot and pose, though it would have been good to see more of the background above.

Best use of grayscale I've seen in a long time. Great control of shadow and subject.

I don't really like your models pose. It looks like she is scratching her bum which is not very attractive! Great lighting & composition and focus though.

This is almost really good. I don't like the pose of the right leg at all. The rest of it is very good.

a little homage to Edward Weston, eh?

Nice photo, but I am not real fond of the placement of the left hand.

I'm not sure about the pose for this one. The leg up is a little bit awkward and the hand on butt seems a little odd as well.

Would be nice to her face. 6

Hi. Nice try here. Some feedback: you're on the right track here by trying to use the diagonal line. This line is very present in a lot of glamour photos. Unfortunately, the leg as it is cripples the line . Perhaps having her stretch her leg more to the left to continue the line would have helped. Also, be careful with the hair... Hair is tough to control. But remember, it's always better to have the hair not in the way of the viewing. In this case, flipping the hair on the shoulder would have helped clear the neck and continue the skin on the body. It would also have cleared part of the face. But all things considered, this is a good basic nude photo. I congratulate you on your effort to participate inthis challenge. Few sent in a photo, and of those, not many tackled the challenge with a real nude, like you did. Bravo! Keep it up! 6

An attractive subject and nice exposure. The texture and tone of the skin are very nice.The angle of her left leg makes it seem out of proportion with her body and the the bright area on the rock behind her head is a little distracting. Still a nice shot.

looks a bit unreal with this pose but still a nice photo 7/10

Very nice. Only gripe I have is that the top of her head is lost in the dark background.
If I could vote i'd give it an 8.

Nice tones and shadings, but the pose is not very flatering. Also looks very awkward and not very comfortable for the model.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice focus, gives a great out-doorsy feeling. Like the little shadows under the subject. Lighting great, and the pose is unusual (in a good way) = 7

Very beautiful....love the light, tones and focus. My only criticism is the foot....I don't like the bottom of the foot showing. That aside this is really nice work. Congrats. She is darling, good pose.

Interesting pose..... I like the interaction of the model to the rocky environment... possibly would have liked to see the rocks surround the model completely.

Firstly, I want to say how much I like the lighting in this - exposure seems just right.
Please don't take this the wrong way but the pose really looks very strange to me - lifting just one leg like that kind of makes me think of a pet going to the bathroom and the hand on the bottom doesn't help dispel that. Truly, I'm not trying to be rude or offensive but to let you know honestly how the image strikes me.
I think a similar pose with her sitting on flat rock, with both legs tucked to her right, bent to the same extent, would work much better.
If this comment does upset you, please just drop me a PM and I will be happy to remove it ASAP.
Kind Regards
Kavey

Great skin tones and setting! My only complaint is that the top of her head gets a little lost in the background. May have been a little stronger to have shot from a little higher angle to keep her head in front of the rocks. - 8

I might have liked the model's right hand to be flat on her buttocks instead of it looking like she's about to scratch--otherwise this shot is just about perfect. Very nice that you were able to get outside for this one!

nice image. would have liked to have seen a larger tonal range

the pose looks unnatural, mostly the leg. beautiful subject, great use of ambient light. I lose her head a bit against the darker part of the background...a little higher angle might have helped this.. good shot.

Not the most natural post I have ever seen, but it is a cool idea. Beware of sharpening your images too much (look the outline on the arm on the left side)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/10/2003 11:25:48 PM
This is a really nice image. I'm just not to sure about where her right hand is. It looks like she's going to start scratching. =\ But overall it has great quality, a nice setting and I like the black/white. =)

IMO the hand placement ruins this shot, although perhaps that was just what you were going for, trying to portray primitive man (or woman) scratching themselves. I like the composition and lighting a lot though. The leg up on the rock looks a bit awkward too.

Great shot! Maybe make it a little darker overall.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/10/2003 09:18:44 PM
I think the major problem here is her right arm/hand. It doesn't seem to go well on the composition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/10/2003 08:30:22 PM
this seems to be a strange pose. unnatural and uncomfortable looking. Nice skin tones, and lighting to show detail.
