The subject is my girlfriend and the shot was taken in my flat, using possibly the cheapest set up ever. This is also my first attempt at portrait or nude photography. The picture was shot in RAW format and edited using Photoshop CS5.

Nice framing. I like the balance of lights and darks for the Westony flavor. I like that the hair is washed out black to match the background, but I don't think Weston would do that.

Very simple, but elegant. Think the negative space makes the figure seem so lonely and filled with despair. Not sure if that is what you were going for, but it works for me!

i like the pose a lot - i would consider a recrop to 8x10 to really give this a Weston feel

I like everything about this. Well almost everything. I gave it an 8. My opinion, which is worth everything you paid for it, is that I wish the finger in the hair wasn't separated from the rest of the hand. And I would like to see just a shadow or faint image of what she is sitting on. But what do I know. Very nice!

SO beautiful. I love the detail of the dragonfly. Pose is great, and there is great emotion here. I'm no expert, but don't think Weston was much of a "glow" photog. (not voting)
