a nice shot, the soft focus helps the image. the highlights are a bit blown out for me though.

the stripes distract. also, given that this was advanced editing, you could have healed out the tan lines.

Of the two pics with the sheet. I like this one the best. I also like the facial expression in this one much more that the other.

This is the only 10 I've given in the challenge.

I likely will steal this pose in the future. I love the lighting, and the pose.

I don't like the hair much, but the exposure captures it quite well. In the future, watch the tanlines a bit, and be careful not to loose the freckles. Makes the model look less real.

Very lovely shot.

Nice composition and lighting. I like the tones and and tonal range. I wonder if a crop with less foreground might make the photo zing. Overall a very good job.

Immaculately lit. Like the soft focus. Great composition in the cropping. Nice job.

This doesn't look like a very natural pose... maybe if the model was facing more toward the camera it might appear more natural. Otherwise, the lighting is great. The lines in the sheet in the foreground also detract from the overall image.

I like this one for its tonality. Her hair adds quite a bit. 8
