| I like the haloed hair light, but the front lighting looks a bit flat. Nice job. |

| Wow, what beautiful skin tones. You have captured her skin. Her skin is flawless, nicely done. She is beautiful too by the way. But her skins just glows. |

| For me this photo is too posed. I like it but it just feels funny when I look at it. Not really something you expect when you think NUDE. Good luck in the challenge. |

| Beautiful model, excellent pose. The red skin splotches looks like she is having an allergic reaction. Could you desaturate the reds without making her shin look ashen? Hmmm. |

| In a portrait shot I need the eyes, or the closest eye, to be sharply in focus. Nice lighting and choice of background. |

| The use of the backlight really helps to separate the model from the background. The pose has a classic portrait look. I don't think it fits well with this challenge but would fit well with another type. There seems to be a color problem in the picture. Her face has a greenish tint and the color on her forearms is uneven. This might have been caused by a slight underexposure. |

| Nice pic, but lacks zing. Change the camera/model angle. Perhaps from above or below to get a different view. |

| I like the colors, they are great. I think that you could have done a better shot with this model for the challenge, the pose doesn't flatter her at all. There are so many lines drawing your eye down to just arms. Looks more like a portait pose instead of an artistic nude |

| I find the darker shade of her arms distracting. and I'm not sure your backlighting is as effective as it could be for you. She's a lovely model and i think if you keep working with her, you'll come up this something great. |

| I like the top light hightlighting the models hair. the bg color is a nice complement to the skin tones. I'm not too sure about the model looking off camera, but that's just me. Looks like the face is a little blue from the lighting. Overall nice job! |

| Wihtout the shadows behind your model this would lok a lot better IMO |

| This is a beautiful portrait. The darker suntanned forearms are a bit of a distraction against the otherwise soft alibaster skin. The woman must be very tall, as she has very long upper arms - although it could be an optical illusion due to the pose. Lighting is perfect and I love the tones. |

| I don't know what it is but her hands look like they are not hers - they are so much darker. But I like how the picture shows nudity without showing too much. |

| Lovely photo, IMHO the light is a bit harsh on such fine skin. 7 |

| there's some distractions in the image that bring the score down. It appears that some hair was cloned out, and if not, there was some significant shadow cast on the background. I think the model looks a bit uncomfortable. it makes me think that I'm not supposed to be seeing the picture, which may contribute to that as well. |

| This looks like a standard portrait... only topless. Lacks originality IMHO |

I think there are a couple of small problems with this image.
Firstly the lighting seems to be a combination of 2 or more different lighting types. The background is daylight or flourescent, and the foreground is possible tungsteon. This makes a yellow glow. On my monitor the face looks a little green.
Black & white can overcome this problem.
Also the face seems a little plasticy, the skin seems unnaturally smooth (Take that as a compliment if you didn't do it in an editing program). I think B&W would help here also as part of the problem is the colour of the face.
The black background is great and arm positions are good for a natural pose. |

| I would have not gone with the blue back lighting. I would have used green lighting. |

| She looks very tense and the hands seem to cover what looks like a tan lin on the arms, which creates a strange illusion of fake lower arms. Maybe a shot lying on her stomach looking up would have worked better. Hope this helps. A very sweet looking lady and beautiful red hair. Good luck. |

| pose is a bit boring... i feel with your model, lighting, and studio setup you could have come up with a lot better shot. |

| Nice capture but her expression looks a bit pained. I would've liked to see a more serene look on her face. |

| Beautiful hair. The lips and nails are very complimentary. My one critique would be to desat the arms so that their tone is equal to the rest of the body. The lighting is beautiful and the pose is simply lovely. |
