This could have been done better. Too much black on the left; and where's the artistry?

Would still love to see the tutorial posted somewhere... If the photos are not appropriate for this site, then perhaps elsewhere. The contrast and form of the lazer light really "made" this shot.

Lisae, I'm sorry you feel that way about my shot and appreciate your comment. I spent a considerable amount of time surfing the web studying "classic" nudes trying to decide how to do this shot. I've never done a nude before so the entire experience was one of fascination and learning. I found that laser light is not very flattering to the human face. I attempted to generate a, for lack of a better word, "de Milo" effect by including only the torso. The arms introduce more complexity to the shot not to mention blocking other areas of the torso because of the stark, highly directional nature of the laser beam. I wanted a simple, clean image and by having the model stand with her hands raised above her head the subtle stomach muscles are a bit better defined while eliminating the potential interference of the arms. I thank you for the input as it's another perception on my work that I didn't have.

This is the kind of photo that makes you say "wow".. Well deserved 2nd (1st in my book however...)

This is a very cool idea, and well executed, but it leaves me cold. It's a very clinical, impersonal use of a woman's body. Something disturbs me about images of just a torso, as you often see in advertising, with nothing else... no context, no personality, etc. It reminds me of "The Rape" by Rene Magritte (//www.finesite.webart.ru/shocking/rape.jpg), which uses that kind of disembodiment of the female torso to completely objectify it.

This is just my feeling though. Well done on 2nd place :)

I was without words for this picture. It looks more like some 3D render than an actual photograph. I, for one, am impatiently waiting for the tutorial on this.
If it can not be published on this site, please make it available elsewhere.
Great job!!!
