ballerina neck definitely gives this a "wow" factor... very nice interpretation of the challenge, i love the lighting, too... don't really have any suggestions for improvement...

Love this idea! And I really like the lighting, it's very warm. Nice composition as well.

Interesting angle and lighting. Nicely done. Would like to see her chin a bit sharper/more lit as it's the only facial feature showing

Pretty lighting and composition, but the "letting go" concept seems a bit of a stretch. You "let go" of the bun, I guess?

Like this. Reminds me of some mid-victorian photography, that posed and very masked sexuality some of that era's work had. As a study of the sensuality of a neck it's pretty effective. The downside is that the title you've given it really doesn't match the image - that unwinding hair is so much darker than the face and neck - I really have to brighten my monitor to see it clearly. An additional touch of top-light, or even another rear left might have generated some shine on the hair to give more emphasis to it. nevertheless, 7.

Extra point for originality!
Unfortunately a little hard to see the hair. Perhaps a light background would contrast better with the hair

let your hair down and flowing would be letting go

Nice image. Great composition and lighting. Interesting movement in the hair.

A very cool idea, and probably hard to get right, I'd imagine--it works well.

Provocative. It would have been even nicer with a longer exposure for the hair to cascade down a little more. I like it.
