This photo sucks. Had 10 minutes of time to shoot, and got 3 photos. This one sucked the least. Not at ALL what I wanted to do for this challenge, but oh well.

This photo was my favorite of the bunch and I LOVE fine art nudes. I think you should be more confident in your work. This is unlike any I have seen and it is all about the moment. Forget what eveyone says about crops and titles, this picture is simply amazing. I gave it a ten and put it in my favorites. I am shocked at what ranked higher and thought this should have been in the top three. Some people just don't appreciate a great capture. Good job, and again it definatly does not suck!!!

No, I does not suck. I would love to take a sucky picture like this. I gave it a 9 and probably should have been a ten and if you composed the picture to fit the title, even better.

Nice idea. I think maybe not cropped so tight, but it works well as-is. Maybe unshaven arm-pits would fit the title a bit better, but would probably turn some voters off. Nice Job!

Good use of DOF to keep the model the focus of the shot. (The background looks like it could be very distracting if in focus) I wish we could see the model's right cheek which is now blocked by some hair. I think this would give a less distant/disconnected feel to the shot. Maybe if the model was looking up at the camera (with her head still tilted down), her eye would deliver a big impact and really hold the viewer's attention. The composition is ok, though doesn't enhance the shot much.

Interesting crop and composition - well done. Toning excellent. DOF, POV good.

I would have preferred a less aggressive crop. This picture presents a fraction of what looks like it is probably a rather dynamic pose; however, the frame restricts my field of vision so much that the image is almost reminiscent of the Venus de Milo. Rendering this using a silhouette or fig leaf may have done a better job of preserving the fluidity of the pose.

Well lit and interesting pose. Could use a bit more contrast, and could be cropped closer on the left.

Nice to see a natural woman accepting of her body without implants. She is really beautiful and your photo did her justice.

This has a kind of "sprite in the woods" look to it. Very nice light. It's a bit raw for me, I would prefer to have seen the tiniest bit of gaussian blur on it to give it a softer feel. I don't like that I can't see any of her face. I 'm also anxious to see if this is the same model that I have seen in some other photos recently. If it is, I would have to say that the other photos were far more sensual.

Excellent focus and excellent dof. Great range and use of all shades. This is a very nice image.

Inticing. I felt it would have been bettter with at least a little of her facial features showing.

Good tonal range here. The pose would be better if her hair wasnt in her face. Not sure about cutting her arms off either, id like to see them included.

Beautiful pose and perfect title. I'm right there in the middle of the coven...

Good Blacks, whites could've use a little more punch. I find the composition lacking movement, as it concentrates on the main body of the model rather then on the flow of her movements. Small details like seeing the model's pants and having the head cut brings down the score for me. 5

I like the "natural-ness" of this image, the comp. is just so pleasing as is the subtle lighting, one of my favorites.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the idea, I'm a sucker for outdoor images. The flat lighting is good but the image is somehow missing some kick.

love how her face if covered. All nudes should be a little mysterious. Seems to catch a moment, love it.

Well done, could have shown a bit more of her face for intrest IMHO. 8

I like this image a lot... exhibits a great sense of freedom

I think this would be an awesome shot a bit lighter. The biggest hit from me comes from the hair though, while the detail is great, it's very overwhelming. I think pulling the lock that crosses her face on our left cut makes her head blend it into the background a slight bit much causing me to vote it lower.

I love this shot, would like to see in color with some glow though,7

i would have liked to be able to see her whole body move with the wind - probably DPC-ers in general prefer this closer crop.
Great model, such a woodnymph perfect for landscape nudes.
