A good concept, well executed.

Just a thought... Maybe the model playing the instrument would have made a more beautiful shot. I do like this composition it is unique to the challenge.

the lines of her body seem to match the lines of the cello (if that is the right instrument). Given that, I wish her hips were not askew but actually mirrored the shape of the instrument since repetition can be very powerful and beautiful. I also would have liked it if some of her body were in shadow like the instrument for more mimicking.

Nice take on something that has been done before. I don't care for the selective desaturation, however, as it evokes a rather cold feeling where there should be warmth. Also, I think it would have been nicer if the model's hair weren't unkempt.

Interesting idea, I think the cello distracts by gaining the focus
08/26/2004 04:12:48 PM
Lovely display of curves, great composition of music,body, color.-9-

Interesting idea, just wish she was sitting straight, not on one foot

good use of light; good use of classic figures; the similiarity of shapes is well imaged.
08/25/2004 07:36:55 AM
Nice selective desat. Wish her foot wasn't under her sot the shape of her rear end mimicked the shape of the instrument.

A bit of a tight crop at the bottom... no pun intended

very nice shadows and curves. Sorry I can't find anything wrong with this pic.
08/24/2004 05:27:32 PM
i think the body looks curved at an awkward angle. sort of weird with that foot under there, too ..

This is very cool- I like how the cello and the girl have the same general figure- I also like the desaturation- this is very interesting and original
08/24/2004 12:51:48 PM
returning for comments.
A very sensual composition with very good lighting.
08/24/2004 07:25:18 AM
Very nice photo, and one of my favourites this challenge. My wife plays the cello, so I have a particular affinity for this one. Nice idea to selectively desaturate, and the result works well if a little unflattering to her skin tone. Her pose is relaxed and her body shape and size complements the cello perfectly. Great lighting, and good composition.
08/24/2004 03:07:27 AM
Nice idea, but I don't see why you have used selective desaturation here. There is a lot of potential here with the nude and instrumnet, I think a re pose coudl be better.
08/23/2004 06:55:33 PM
Nice shot- nice idea nice title- perhaps the red is a bit strong and the lighting is not dramaticenough- but I assure you- these are but small criticisms.
08/23/2004 06:53:08 PM
Should have desaturated the voilincell instead IMO. 6
08/23/2004 02:09:29 PM
very nice.Love everything about it especially the mix of the instrument with the black and white
08/23/2004 12:48:59 PM
beutifull model.
Shadows form the model on the "violoncelle" are a bit destracting, might try haveing the light on the left side instead of the right.
Bit tightly croped.

Nice, sexy and elegant picture
08/23/2004 07:06:49 AM
I like the colors, lighting, everything, good work!
08/23/2004 06:44:08 AM
this idea has been used so much - and why is the foot under the buttock visible, very distracting - the loghting is very nice and so are the colours - just find a NEW theme
08/23/2004 06:40:19 AM
Great shot, great response to the challenge. Love the desat and your choice of single light source from the right. Very well done.
08/23/2004 05:57:25 AM
Nice curves.
Lighting particularly on the Cello is great.
Like the idea & composition
08/23/2004 05:17:41 AM
This would work better for me if the woman was sitting straight, as though her spine paralleled the chello. Great idea!
08/23/2004 02:20:37 AM
Nicely done, perfect shaped model for this shot. Absolutely love it.
08/22/2004 08:45:04 PM
Nice work. The desaturation is a nice touch. Good job!
08/22/2004 08:17:14 PM
Nice! The selective desaturation works well here.
