Love your use of shadows to give even more to this shot.

Love these soft black and white shots! Simply sensuous. BOL My only comment is the square crop leaves too much neutral space on the right.

Well done!

The pose here is not very good. Going to show me a nicely lit nude surrounded by negative space, exploit all the curves the body has to offer. Because really, that is all the nude body has to offer. My eye keeps looking for the missing arm, the midriff looks distorted, etc. Could also use a bit brighter light to enhance the contrast here. This just doesn't work for me. Possibly it would be more appealing cropped tighter with the body running diagonal across the entire photo w/o the head in the frame. Good luck.

I really like the unusual pose, composition, and processing here. Her body is a complex line of light. Very nice.

I have NO problems with nudes at all, but I don't care for the lighting or the pose in this photo - together, it looks ....... odd.

Wonderful lighting on this one. I also like the pose for the model. It shows her curves well. Nice job.

Composition: 8 - Works well to lead the eye up into the framem but just a little too much space on the top in my opinion (and perhaps also on the left).
Technical: 8 - Nice low-key lighting creating a kind of abstract bodyscape. Just a hint of backlighting to accent the hair a little would really make this excellent though.
Creativity: 7 - The abstract way you have presented the model works really well.
Appeal: 7

Overall Calculated Average Score: 7

IMO, the angle looses the curves of your subject
