This was my original idea for doing this when I saw Justin Timberlake's song on the list titled "Sexyback". Yes I know the song. So don't tell me it doesn't match what the song says. It probably won't do good because of the shock factor but I liked it. I also want to give my wife a huge "thank you" because this is the first time she has modeled for me and she is not real comfortable with her body. She is such a great wife.

James,

Your eye for this has definitely improved and, for the record, I thought this was done by cindi too (like Ken). That says alot, as we all love her work, and you're obviously headed in the right direction.

Neither you nor your wife should be at all unhappy with this! Nevermind placement in the challenge - enjoy the nature of the work ;) - and enjoy your time together... Being relaxed & having fun together WILL shine through in the results, and you have that here. Bravo Mr. (and MRS.!!!)Stanton, Bravo.

Well don't let your wife think the score has anything to do with the model - she has a very beautiful body (she has a very similar build to my wife who features in my first DPC entry, I love curves lol)

Its just that DPC voters are very touchy about these types of photos and they either score high or score low - they tend to get a strong reaction one way or the other so midrange results are rare...

Kudos to your wife! I think the pose didn't flatter her so much but I do see that she herself matches the song title for sure. Looks like... hm, if you just cloned some minor blemishes, seems that she's got nice smooth skin? I am considered attractive but let me tell you, I do NOT like my cellulite! Like mentioned, if you played around with poses and lighting I'm sure you could turn out some great pics!

One would think the subject matter should match the song title....

Technically, this is pretty good if, perhaps, a bit trite. I would like a darker background, though, to contrast with the skin tone. I think the dark background would show off your good use of depth of field, too, as the arms and upper back tend to blend in with the light background.

Good body, nice panties but I am not fond of the pose. Standing up with hips to the side or one leg up on something would have had more impact for me.

Good concept, but a straight on shot lacks artistic interest, perhaps if you played around with different angles you could improve the shot
