When you left that comment on my SP entry, I immediately went through to finish voting to find yours and when I saw it I knew. I agree with other that the lighting needs work, but I gave you points for sheer guts.

Try this one again using a Home Depot clip light. Put it where your hand would be if you arm was 45 degrees above the bed. Straighten the bed up a bit, too. ;)

This is grossly under-rated picture. Though I feel the lighting is little harsh, I liked the "different" angle for self-portrait. Maybe softer light/ diffused glow (in PP) might have made the lighting little softer. Such a beutiful face could have been capture in even better way :) I congratulate you for submitting something different from other submissions. Goodluck for the future submissions.

Whatever it is that's laying on the bed next to you, distracts.

poor light---shadows---too much space

Interesting perspective. Good light and color.

not all nudity is creative, somebody had to say it.

Very brave photo!I wish I could see more of your face, though. Your left eyebrow is cut off. Very pretty eyes, though.

Oh my...this kind of looks like low budget porn. For a nude to work as art, some attention has to be paid to lighting, composition, etc....oh dear.

Very intimate.
05/19/2006 02:33:48 PM
Brave.

That's pretty brave. :) High marks for courage... kind of harsh lighting under the chin, and the focus drop-off could have been shorter for a nice effect.

Something different, good.
05/18/2006 08:23:22 PM
Porn ;-)

This is not a well executed photo. There are distracting elements in the background, the lighting is uninteresting, and unflattering around the neck, and dpchallenge is about photography, not seeing how high a nude photo of yourself will score.
