What a buff Buff! Nude, but not nude! Color, yet Black & White! Seen & reflected! Even a real life example of the Teacher's Bell Curve!
Can you get any more comparison & contrasts in one photo?
Impressive! I bow before greatness!
Rate that 10...10...10!!!! |

| Beautiful job... congrats on your placing! I'm curious, upon looking at this, whether it is actually a reflection, or you did it in post processing (as allowed by the rules) if it is a reflection wow! Its perfect, if not, I'm guessing you turned it upside down and then flipped it... either way, very very well done. Congrats! |

| Great shot but could have softened the dividing line of b/w and colour - and matched the black density. [7] |

| I really like the lighting on this one. Doing one half in color and the other in B&W is an interesting twist that I like. That said, I'm not sure if you were trying to mimic a real reflection or not. If so I think you should have tried to get the hands to touch palms. Either way I like the balance in the composition. Good work and good luck in the challenge. |

| Mostly I am curious how you did this shot, i.e. color with b&w. Hopefully you will tell us after the show. Color and lighting are subtle and inviting. |

| In my top 3 for this challenge. Very good use of colour and very well composed (rule of thirds is hade to be broken). Personally I would have attempted to blend the images slightly, the hard edge on the right of the image distracts slightly (but I'm being very picky at this point!) |

| This is an interesting image, with the image split between color and a black and white reflection it could also have quite a few possible interpretations if someone where to look deeply enough. The tone and symmetry are good, I like the play of light and shadow along the arms. If there is one thing that I would change it would possibly be having the hands touch. Either way it is a great image. |

I was expecting so much more from this chllenge... fortunately your work is one of the better ones. The idea is simple but elegant. I would´ve give the B&W a bit more contrast and desaturated the color one. never the less good job!

I like the pose and lighting here. It seems like an effective composition as a whole. I really like the abstract shape it produces if you let your eyes release their focus a little bit. I do take issue with the inclusion of both the b&w and color versions. I can see why you'd want to include both, as they each have different strengths and weaknesses. I think I prefer the black and white version, because it emphasizes the forms better, seems to have a smoother flow to it, and I much prefer the shadowed black hair to the brown of the color. The color version has more warmth to it and seems more personal than the cold b&w shot. So while I think both of these individually are good shots, I think the combination of the two results in a clash. The color and black and white doesn't flow together into one seemless shot. Instead of bringing out each others advantages they seem to dull each other's strengths. So, I like the reflection (which I'm guessing was post-production produced and not an actual reflection) because of the added abstract quality it creates, but I'd have made the entire image black and white or color (and personal I'd have gone b&w). Great work though. This might show up on my favorites. 9

| Absolutely wonderful image. Lighting is perfect. Is the reflection real or is it photoshop? You probably could not decide whether to use the shot in B/W or colour and this allowed you to use both. Great Job! My pic for the winner. 10 |

Are you the same photographer who did a similar pose for symmetry? If so, I liked that shot so much better...if not, sorry for the intrusion :).
I honestly have to say that the shot would have been better without the black and white portion. |

| A very cool effect. Although I see this more as a montage than a "post-shot-adjustment", so I'm afraid that loses you the 10 from me. However, I wouldn't be the least surprised if it won the challenge. |
