I went for the extreme artistic type shot. My first nude challenge. Trying to convey isolation, lonelyness maybe sexual repression. I really wanted more open space and the subject even smaller to help convey my idea. I figure it will do well or totally tank.

I really like this image as it is "alternative" and makes excellent use of the black background to highlight the subject.

I'm just not sure the point on this one. The lighting is good, but the pose just doens't work for me, reguardless of the intent. I think it's because I don't feel that this person is being repressed. Good luck with the voters, I hope I'm wrong...

Nice concept and well executed. I think that not seeing the face subtracts greatly from this image. Also rotating the cage a little would add a bit more tension to the picture.

a disturbing photo (in a good way ;))

I'm not really fond of the point of view, might have taken the shot from the front, not the top. a different crop might have worked better too.

composition is too loose/undefined, had placed the cage much closer to the left=opposite to the light direction

This is a great idea. I like it. Executed pretty good, the lighting and focus etc. is good. What I am unsure of, is the composition. Subject seems kind of centered and in this case seems to lack a littly dynamically. It doesn't seem like the negative space at the sides is contributing much to the theme. I am wondering if a tighter crop might work well here? Or perhaps using a portrait orientation, placing the negative space at the top of frame, it might add to the sense of 'repression', the weight bearing down on the subject? I like the idea though, and the technicals look good.

great idea, think the pose might have been a bit more expressive to give it a more tortured feeling.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

this would have been cooler with a closer angle w/o so much negative space, I still like it though, sharp detail on the skin
