I love the way you were playing with shadows here, Nasti!

A lovely nude study with great use of light and untold attention to the important detail required in body, head and hand placement. DPC voters are usually do not favor nudes unless the challenge is nudes. Rest assured that your talent is very well recognized and admired. A highly underrated study.

Once again, you've shown your true talent with nudes. Great shot!

Lovely and super well lit with painstaking care to the finer details. Bump.

You did an excellent job with the lighting and focus. The use of shadows to hide the face makes the photo fit the challenge nicely. I think my only problem is that, even though it̢۪s an excellent photo of a naked woman, it doesn̢۪t seem to convey much emotion. I bet it scores well though. :D

Exquisite image. The lighting and pose is very good. I think I might have perferred the model look away from the camera since her face is not what is being lit.

Gary? Anastasia? This must be a shot from your excessive session you did recently ;) Remebered the model by her remarkable mouth. Yes, I see some parts of her face. Maybe that's just my monitor calibration. Anyway I don't yell "DNMC". I think it fits quite well and I love your shot: the lighting is outstanding, the high contrast adds depth to the photo. The atmosphere is intimate but a bit scary too (cause her face is so dark). You did an awesome job here. Can't wait to see further shots out of this session. Keep it up!

Very good use of lighting to hide the face. She is looking right at us yet we can't see her. Well done.

Very nicely done... I like the toning here and the simplicity of it all. My only minor gripe is that you can kinda make out her face. That's the only thing that keeps this from being a 10 for me.

Bit more shading at the face would have helped... if you can still see it it's not really faceless.

The technicals look fabulous on this photo, and the image is nice. However I don't think it fully comes across. The image seems to lack emotion, and for some reason I have a pre-fab or (staged) taste in my mouth. Certainly above par don't get me wrong, and I adore this photo, I'm just trying to make a helpful comment. GL

Just perfect. Not sure what to add. Congrats.

Not exactly faceless but I guess it's dark enough to be considered faceless. The B&W and shallow DOF really make this a great shot. Good job. 8

Managing to capture the ides of "shy" whilst putting up a nude shot is a difficult thing to do, I think. It's achieved here.
10/09/2006 09:41:24 AM
This is very well done. Tasteful, beautiful lighting. I think you did a great job. I hope this is doing well. It seems dpc voters tend to vote nudes a little harshly unless its a nude challenge -- but I hope that's not the case here. You did a great job.

Nice figure study, finely lit to reveal form. Would have liked to see the subject moved a bit left in the frame. Well done.
10/09/2006 06:46:02 AM
But not so shy enough to do a nude shot? Great from a technical perspective, but I might rethink the title.
10/09/2006 04:06:08 AM
great lighting...really well composed and suits challenge, has a mystery to it
10/08/2006 09:30:18 PM
Well lit. Nice line. 6
10/08/2006 08:36:10 PM
I can see the face...
10/08/2006 08:29:37 PM
Lovely model, great nude shot, but I can clearly see her face...
