One of only two tens in the Nude III challenge for me (or was it three?) I'm revisiting and surprised to see you down at 24th.

What I most like about this shot is how it captures the real person. The freckles, skin tones, etc. are very well lit and exposed to my eye. It all seems much more natural/realistic than DPC voters at large seem to go for. Too much googling at fashion/glamour magazines maybe.

The pose is excellent too. As for "watch the tan lines -- nah -- it ads to this shot IMO.

Well done!

a more relaxed expression on the model's face would make sleep more believable...

I like the texture and lights. The picture and message works. I would suggest some cropping down and little more air up. Anyway, very Good.!!

Very nice shot. I hate to be picky, but the eyelashes are distracting. Everything else is soft and pretty, but they look phony, especially for bedtime.

I don't feel comfortable commenting on this one because I saw your outakes and feel, personally, that you lost the anonymity required for an unbiased vote.
