Location: Penn State University Experimental Gardens

Aperture: 5.0

 I took this picture at the Penn State Experimental Garden. I really had two separate pictures that I loved for this contest, but in the end, decided on this one. I am hoping that I made the right decision. However, I think it takes a different spin on "In the Garden" and makes you wonder what is going on in the top half of the frame.... My long time friend Lindsey volunteered to be the subject.

I really love this photo. It really leaves a lot for the imagination! Good job!

An allusion of a lone woman lying naked doesn't really work, There has to be another pair of legs, male if you want to be conventional or better female if you want to be sensational... Also the positioning of the lingerie looks too forced. Also everything is too sharply in focus to seem secret / mysterious, Why did you chop off the knee?

You have a good idea here try soft focus , different angle and add one more model :)

Theres a lot of compression above the bottom leg, and it looks over-sharpened to me. I think this is the type of photo that could benefit from soft-focusing.

I like your idea and I would have rated this even higher if I felt that you were on topic a little more. Good Job!

lots of jpeg artifacts... if you save your original as uncompressed tiff, then do all your edits, and only save your final version as a jpeg, that should help the problem... 4.

There's some weird pixelation here, but it's a great idea!

Good idea, but aren't those "jaggies" on the top of her right leg?
