I think this is just beautiful! It struck me immediatley during voting. (It got one of my higher scores!) The sepia really warms the skin tones and works very well. Glad to see that it at least met your expectations. I thought it would have done better. :)

There is power and grace in the pose of this shot of this woman. The lighting on the subject is just fabulous - the shadows and highlight show off the power of the body structure beautifully. I like the warm golden/sepia tones for it invokes the imagery of a bronze statue - like an ancient greek goddess cast in metal. Speaking of that, I cannot help but see some similarities of the pose of an archer. I know that this is just one pose in the repertoire of a body builder but I now cannot help but see Artemis in this shot.

Super B&W and nice outline of the human body. Looks like ballet dancer of soem sort. The hands and fingers works well

Great light, the curve of the body, and the extension of the arm make a striking photo. 9
