I did flowers, antennae balls, more flowers and after re-entering about 20 times (no joke) I had this idea, so I rummaged through my husband's tie rack and found this one. I set up the 10 second timer so I could arrange my arm and positioning right and VOILA!

Maybe this will make up for "Cheap Imitation".... or again, it might be worse.

I once came home to find my girlfriend wearing nothing but a tie. It was a very nice way to come home; so I married her. This nice shot reminds me of that.

This is just funny! But .... does anyone still wear ties like that (I mean, wide and yellow)?

love this shot. the yellow tie is placed perfectly, and really captures the attention, but still allows the eye to wonder to the beautiful body behind it.

great job. :)

Thought this would have been higher than it was. Good shot with nice lines (and curves). Well done.

Hubba hubba.

Just watch out for the friday fish fry!!!

This should have scored much much much higher, I think the smoke and mirrors voters were out in force.

Nude woman photos will almost always receive a high score from me.

I don't think my body has ever looked this good... Well maybe at 14. LOL
Unique entry. I love the soft lighting and 3/4 of the body. Nice to see something other than duckies & flowers.

This shot has great potential. I would have liked to have seen a yellower (is that a word?) tie and more natural skin tones. Very good set up.

I like the idea and the lighting here. But compositionally there just doesn't seem to be a strong enough focal point, the eye is left searching.

A creative deviation from the typical flower shots. I like the unique approach here. The yellow tie really pops off of the skin and draws the eye in. Not only that, the curves of a subject's nude body also helps to draw the eye in as well. While flesh is bared it does not show everything so it still leaves something to the imagination for the male population and should not be overly offensive to the female population:-) Back to the technical critiques on this image, while the tones and vibrancy of the yellow hue of the tie is there the overall warm tones of the skin are not. One can see some of those rosy tones in the skin in the bottom half of the image but as you travel up the light source shines brightly on the top half of the skin such that it washes out (blows out through white glare/highlights) the warm rosy tones.

Aha, very risky! But in a good way! I like the crop, the curves to the straight line of the tie. The arm behind the back is a bit distracting, maybe if it was in the front, holding the bottom of tie or just hanging at the side, where it is ruins the lovely curve of the body and pulls away from that line, but we're not supposed to be looking at that, right? The tie, oh yeah, the tie. Nice colors, a slight orange tinge to it, maybe a slight curves adjustment to make the colors on the tie and skin stand out more? Nice lighting overall. A 7

Where's the yellow in this im... oh, there it is. :)

This is great! Very well done. The skin tones are to die for, and that splash of vivid yellow are perfect!!!
