Thanks to all that made comments. A few responses if any of you check back.
First, yeah, the light is a bit flat. Something I actually tend to be drawn to. I think I need to figure out what's desired, so that I can hit it a bit more.
Catlord and DrAchoo mentioned the curve is a bit odd. Quite honestly, they are being held up by her hands. It's the only way to get the curve I wanted with the "assets" I had, as they're larger than average and her natural curve didn't work as well as this curve did, and I really didn't want to get the "she's got clothes on" drop in the votes that some of her bra's could have created for a slightly more natural look. If I retake, I'll keep that in mind however.
To explain that, what I was looking for, was the viewers eyes to move from the tendril of hair down from the cleavage to the lower right corner and off the page. I think I accomplished that with a couple people comenting as such. |

| Nice perspective, lighting is a little flat. |

| The lighting is flat. Maybe experimenting with levels and curves would help the pic to pop a little more. |

| I like the crop/composition. Feel the image is a little dark for the subject. I like that oyu left the freckles in and the curl in. 6 - goodluck in the challenge! |

| Interesting, but not sure if this would stand up as an interesting image outside this challenge. Wel done and for submitting to this difficult challenge anyway. |

As Austin Powers might say: "curvy, baby, yeah". Pretty good shot, well composed, lit ok, just a bit unspectacular, i.e. dull. Curves alone don't make a good picture, in my humble opinion. I've seen much worse before though, so I'll give you a 7.

| I really like the tendril of curled hair that leads from the upper corner. It has a strong diagonal & nice smooth lines. |

| Well I am impressed, although the suntan line is a bit distracting. On the other hand, the stray tendril of hair is a great touch. 7 |

Really nice shape. Pose ok. Makes me want to see more, but at the same time, less is best. This image captivated me, so i guess you did your job well!
Well Done! |

| A little dark but good perspective and subject. Including more of her face may not hae been an option but may have helped the picture. |

| Nicely done. I think it needs to be cropped to show a little less breast, though. It looks as if she was hollding them up and the curves seem somewhat unnatural the way it's cropped. Love the single strand of hair! |

| I like the crop and the curves. The lone curl stranding down the the neck is perfect, I really like that. It seems like the image is a little on the dark side. Good focus and dof. Good job! |

| The composition is nice on her neck. To tell you the truth, I can't complete the curve of her breast without them looking odd. Were they posed in an unnatural position (squished or taped)? |

| The little curl of hair is a nice touch. DOF is a little too shallow. |

| I like the curves of the hair strand it adds to the rest of the curves. I don't know if this will do well but, I like it. |

| Very nice. Tan lines are a bit distracting, but not too badly. Love the composition on this one - the little tendril of hair adds the perfect touch to this. |

| The composition here is wonderful, but the quality of the image falls because the lighting isnt all that wonderful. Underexposed, and I would move her hair as its a bit distracting. Try reshooting then posting it again. My guess from what I can see here, is you need atleast another stop of light. |

The lighting here realy works well. Cropping is good and adds to the mysteriousness of the image.
Well done. |

| Good capture... I like the curves and the title is very appropriate.... maybe just a little more contrast would help improve this a lot IMHO |

| This has a bit of a quick shot feel to me. It could be that it's not completely focused. It could use a tad more lighting or perhaps an additional filter to give it more pop. |

| the tones look pretty flat here. i think a shot of contrast would help this out immensely. |

| Extremely nice curves photographed in B&W which makes them even more attractive. I love the detail in the skin, and the hair, as the single lock of hair falls down over her shoulder. I believe that adds a great detail to this image. I also think the black background was very important to this image. Very nicely done. <7> |

| the ligthing is sort of flat and uninspiring. I think the same shot could have been taken where the lighting produces highlights and shadows really accentuating the curves and shapes. |

| I like the smooth lighting to go with the soft lines and curves of the shot. The swirl of hair in the top left really adds to the shot which would feel a little bland without it. |

| Would like this more if the shoulder (right) was more in focus. |
