| Fantastic shot. I think I might agree with the commenter who mentioned that her facial expression did not look as blissful as it could, though. And I would also be curious to see the results of the suggestion someone made to crop at about the mouth so as to leave the face anonymous. Very erotic, though. |

| the title was just.....funny. I wanted to see if it would be dq'd. I never placed this image in my portfolio because I figured it was a wee too much for dpc. So...best of challenge...what the heck...push the boundaries! ;) I expected far more disgruntled comments because of the title...oh well. ;) |

Well I think my original comment sums up how I feel about the placement of this shot. I am curious as to my initial question about whether anyone made any DQ requests (I'd be surprised if they didn't - though disappointed if the site council seriously entertained them) - though I guess it's not like its the kind of issue you'd have to supply proof over, so you likely wouldn't know even if someone had.
Anyway, I'm not going to rave over this again - I already did that, the only thing I can fault about the image is the title - I just think the almost comedic approach you have taken to titling this detracts from the sensuous air created by the shot itself.
Cheers

| The image -facial expression, pose, 'clothing', ask for a person's attention. But, in my opinion, the title would contribute to the photo if it expressed the same sentiment in a slightly less edgey manner. |

| Yeah, this should have done better indeed. Gave it a 10 during voting. |

holy smokes this is such a dichotomous shot! That voting bell looks like an X-Wing Fighter. I don't remember ever seeing a bell that perfectly polarized. I'm always amazed whenever two people look at the exact same thing and come up with wildly different conclusions. I thought this would've place top 20...but then there are others who thought it should place bottom 20. Oh well, c'est la DPC!

| Not really my kind of shot, but find it artistic and well done. Title puts it a little over the edge in my opinion. |

| try this: what if you crop somewhere between the eyes and the mouth - leaving the erotic parts as the focus of the image, also leaving the girl anonymous (let the viewer supply his own fantasy). I think the head makes the image bottom heavy and the face, being less soft than the body, competes for attention. Not to say that I dont think its a great picture as it is. |

| Yes this image is sexy, incredibly so (I'll be surprised if you don't get a couple of DQ requests for the overt depiction of a sexual act from the more conservative dpcers), but its appeal goes beyond the fact that I'm a guy and it's a naked picture of a gorgeous woman. Technically speaking, the perspective is wonderful, lighting is spot on, and DOF is absolutely perfect. On the more substantive level you have captured the joy of human sexuality wonderfully. At first glance she appears positively serene in her bliss - yet then you go and throw in the leather gear, which takes the viewer away from the beauty of the pleasure she is experiencing and throws in a raw, forbidden almost animalistic element. Anyway, enough meandering from me, the point is that this is a ten from me, and easily one of the best images in this challenge. |

| Bold shot for the DPC crowd. Excellent shot for one of this type. Great angle, a very effective dof and flattering lighting. Black and white was a great choice of course. There are a lot of interesting lines and angles you created. Overall very nicely done. |

Right on the edge, suggestive but not porn.
I like it how your model stands out from the dark and how she is hmmm err, 'tied'' to that background by the leather stuff she is wearing. The lighting on the body is good, but the face has just a tad too much, or it might be the effect of makeup or something. 7 |

Very good picture.. No doubt that you´ll be stoned to death by the anti-nudity crowd here.
Excellent picture, good angle and a relaxed pose by the model. |

| Sexy, artsy, and demure. I like it a lot. Definitely gives you some intrigue here... without being raunchy. I love the angle. I have to say her tattoo(?) on her wrist bothers me... NIce choice doing this in black and white. -10- |

| Well its not often I guess the photog but this would have to be grigrigirl. If not then congrats because she is a very good photog. Great composition, very suggestive pose, I would have liked to see the face a little more in focus. Very nice image. Congrats. Mmmm this could also be Simon? Natator! |

| Hmm, what to say. Starting with the title - I need a man. Masturbation is OK, but sex is alway better with a partner. The photo, well I do like it more than the title. The composition is OK, but her left leg cuts off to the left. I may have looked better if it went out at the top corner. And the expression on the face of model seems bored or even like she is sleeping rather than enjoying herself IMO. Overall I gave this a 7. |
