 So as I sit home on the last day of the challenge on Nude III bummed out I couldn’t come up with a cute nubile young lady model, I remembered I was nude and comfy on my couch watching the NASCAR race. Ding ding ding there you go a little self portrait of me on a Sunday afternoon.

On a technical note, nothing but a little level adjustment and also rotate of image. Hope you all enjoy my ugly feet.

Somehow you did worse than me. I don't get it. O well. Maybe I'll get a Brownie someday. By the way I liked your out-of-the-box shot. Van

Fine piece of art. Amazingly effective creation. The positioning of the remote controls is perfect! I just gotta favourite this.

This image has so many elements, the eye is lost and left to wander, which doesn't captivate much interest in the viewer. Maybe if you turned out the lights, but left the TV on, then used a nude model (male or female) standing infront of the TV with some interesting lighting and shadows, then this image could compete with the best in this challenge.

Cute. Was the race @ MIS? It sure looks like it ... I work there! :)

Oh ... and love Jeff Gordon much? LOL

Subject out of focus. Not convinced this meets the challenge.
 08/28/2005 03:20:07 PM
I think I understand what you were going for but the focus is completely on the entertainment system and nothing that says nude.
 08/27/2005 07:24:15 PM
Daaaaaaaaytona!

The feet appear to be out of focus, which takes away from the whole "nude" concept.

I would have given extra points for the NASCAR, but I cant for a Jeff Gordon fan!! 7

Can I lower your score just because you are a Jeff Gordon fan???? You just gotta have better taste than that...LOL

I don't really care for how you sit in front of your TV. This isn't nude to me. Technically weak, would like to be original but isn't to me. Feet, the only thing nude in the picture, are out of focus, nails not done. BAD.

This is a cool take on the challenge, but IMHO the shot is too cluttered. There is SO much going on here like all the remotes. They do not really add to the shot but rather give it a busy feel. Feet TV maybe one remote and maybe a cold beer :-) and this would work much better. Oh, you're a little soft on focus throughout also.

I rated this quite high for the novelty value of the shot 8

Is this the result of spending a week getting turned down by hot chicks who wouldn't get naked for you...? I feel your pain, but sometimes it's better just not to enter :)

Nude? Just a snapshot of a boring scene.
 08/24/2005 11:19:38 AM
WTF?
 08/24/2005 09:35:47 AM
would have loved to see the feet in focus;-)

Wouldn't happen to be a Jeff Gordon fan, huh? :-P

Can't really tell where the focus is, definately not on the nude part of the body. Maybe the T.V.? I can't believe you have that many remote controlls. lol
This photo really does make me laugh, I came back to give it a little bump. Good luck.

Cute idea. You have as many remotes as I do!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Bare feet not necessarily nude
 08/23/2005 08:32:34 AM
No high points.
The image is a little un interesting. When I see how much effort others have put into taking a Nude shot I can only give you a 4
 08/22/2005 11:23:49 PM
The background is to cluttered, the feet are out of focus and lighting is flat and boring IMHO. Excellent concept though. 6

I really struggle with this shot, your focus point seems to be on the TV, and not the feet. It's just lacking something inspiring.
 08/22/2005 10:13:19 PM
I've been commenting on every shot... It's a goal for me in this challenge.

I think a little more dof to keep the feet a little more focused may add to this, and maybe crop out the cd collection. Very clean toes. Good luck!

Just a bit too busy for my taste and the "nude" part is blurred. hee hee
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Technically, this is a nude. I think the focus should have been on the feet rather than the TV to make the feet the subject. Right now, the blurry feet lead your eye to the screen lessening their importance in the image.

you have entirely too many remotes for one man - no wonder you can't find the time to put your pants on lol. This image should have been a lot crisper, there appears to be plenty of light and the model shuld have been static...

Shoulda saved this for the "Remote Control" challenge. ;-)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/22/2005 02:11:58 AM
It seems, to me, that in a nude challenge the nude person should be in focus?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/22/2005 01:23:18 AM
imo this is a really poor entry for this challenge.
 08/22/2005 12:18:00 AM
hahaha, horrible photo, but great idea
