And they say that the camera adds 10 pounds. The background is distracting, and the lighting is a bit harsh. I realize that this was entered in jest, but I think that you could have produced a ribbon contender with this model if you'd tried. For example, a view of the curved spine and into the rib cage could have produced some interesting results if well lit.

DNMC, sorry, but cute.

Nice taste of morbid humor to break up the flow of the challenge a bit! ;) Wonderful shot, great model...wish I had her number!
08/26/2005 09:20:51 AM
Clever...would prefer a different blanket since it seems to fight with the bones a bit...
08/25/2005 11:56:20 PM
IF ONLY... the background was less of a distraction this would be great. 7
08/25/2005 05:05:35 PM
A point for humor. Didn't know Calista Flockhart would be willing to pose nude!
08/25/2005 02:01:09 PM
A former piano player?? Give this a 10 for imagination!
08/25/2005 01:21:29 AM
Ha ha.
08/24/2005 10:08:49 PM
ehhhh pushing it a bit no? Sorry this isnt more constructive.
08/24/2005 06:26:28 PM
excellently funny :-D
08/24/2005 09:35:00 AM
this undressing went a bit to far i think;-)
08/24/2005 08:28:17 AM
bad lighting and subject
08/24/2005 07:44:38 AM
Obviously you took too long to set up the lighting.
08/24/2005 05:47:20 AM
now thats what i call nude.... 10...
08/24/2005 04:31:23 AM
Fun foto. Lighting is good. Background sucks. Black would have helped. Shows imagination. Keep trying.
08/23/2005 11:04:57 PM
Can't get much more nude than that! :)
08/23/2005 10:02:21 PM
Doesn't meet the challenge for me
08/23/2005 08:27:27 PM
Points for humor...and the rose. Very funny. If the background was solid I would have scored it higher as I found it to be distracting, but then again like the leaves....hmmm
08/23/2005 01:09:29 PM
LOL. Funny.
A red satin background would be better
08/23/2005 11:04:37 AM
such a cool pic!!!!!!!
08/23/2005 01:30:43 AM
I think people want to see skin LOL
08/22/2005 11:49:54 PM
Not one of my favorites in this challenge, but humorous none the less.
08/22/2005 11:26:56 PM
I don't think we should celebrate eating disorders and the background and the shadows are a bit distracting. 6.
08/22/2005 10:58:52 PM
a little too nude, put some skin on :)
08/22/2005 10:56:38 PM
I can see all the naughty bits, how crude!
08/22/2005 10:43:52 PM
I can not help but look at this shot and feel mildly insulted for myself and others that actually had the courage to enter a nude shot into this challenge. Most of us are not glamour or nude photographers and it took a lot of effort to put in a serious shot. In any other challenge I would consider this thinking outside the box. In this challenge I see it as a slap in the face. Just MHO.

Truthfully, I didn't like the pose at all. I doubt I would have liked it if it was one of Dr Jones Models WITH the skin.

The shadows, as well as the choice of background are distracging, and the flower(?) is hard to see.
08/22/2005 10:16:56 PM
What is with the full frontal nudity here? Maybe a hair light and a light give the eye sockets some sparkle would have made your subject more lively looking.
08/22/2005 09:49:11 PM
Well, I guess this is as nude as one can get... The lighting is a bit harsh (some of the highlights are blown), and the background is a bit distracting (would have been less visually confusing with a solid color). The pose is nice, very natural, and the addition of the flower really 'makes' the photo! The red spot is a wee bit distracting, but I like the lighthearted approach to the challenge. 7.
08/22/2005 09:18:36 PM
lol. Nice flower. It looks like a pillow would help the pose a little and relieve some pressure on the neck. The shadows I find a little distracting. Good luck!
08/22/2005 08:50:28 PM
for humor i give it a 8.... pretty funny
08/22/2005 06:05:00 PM
ahahaha... ahaha
08/22/2005 05:27:54 PM
Bones.... is that you?
08/22/2005 12:58:35 PM
Just doesn't work for me. The leaves and stripe of the cloth aren't any addition to it. I'm sorry, but that's about all I can say.

LOL good one- the flower give is just the right touch! :0)
08/22/2005 12:08:28 PM
Too funny.
08/22/2005 10:30:30 AM
This is a little beyond nude isn't it?
08/22/2005 10:04:50 AM
Extreme nudity! Very original!
08/22/2005 10:04:14 AM
ROFL! I like yoru sence of humor! you have quite a few hot spots on its bones, and i'm not sure what the red spots are... The shadows are a touch distracting, Try using somethign to soften the shadows such as a peice of white paper, or a light peice of white cloth. 5
08/22/2005 07:46:40 AM
while the humor here is high I believe this image misses the spirit of the challenge. Very amusing pose. :)
08/22/2005 02:42:47 AM
i think you might have gotten to this model just a little late...
some crushed black velvet would have been more effective than what looks like a teatowel.
08/22/2005 01:44:01 AM
Hilarious....very creative. But I hate to say it....I think you need some more meat on your bones!!!
08/22/2005 01:06:02 AM
a plain cloth underneath would have been better imo i think the striped black white with leaves distracts from the skeleton. But i guess the bigger issue is that your shot depicts a skeleton rather than live human body.
08/22/2005 12:26:26 AM
Totally naked and yet... not enough skin showing. ;-)
08/22/2005 12:23:53 AM
...but, it's a dry heat!
