Really nicely done. I would have liked the distracting shadows on the bottom cropped off, but that's just me.

Also, I don't think that Solomon's poetry was so much of a sin. He was living at a time when polygamy was permitted, but the Kings of Israel were instructed not to go multiplying wives for themselves. One can assume that this would have meant more about the numbers rather than the act of pursuit.

Super nice pic though. You're a lucky man.

This is a decent nude. I like the atypical lighting, crop is good, interesting how the light caught the nipples. Good job shooter.

The shadows along her stomach are interesting, but the shadow created by her breast and nipple are distracting. I can't offer a suggestion on how to re-shoot it with different lighting, as I think you'd lose the shadows along her torso, which I think make this an interesting shot

Interesting lighting technique

A very nice study and one I would have loved to see in a high contrast b/w. Nevertheless, the image works very well as is. Bumping up.

What a wonderful shot this is..... the skin tones are perfect.. like a sunset... however, the quote you are using "Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies" does not evoke in me a feeling that a deadly sin has been committed.
