 after waiting months for a challenge to inspire me, go figure that it'd be a nude challenge

ok, so no "wow" factor, but I wanted to try the light on white sort of shot, I hope you guys go easy on me because I'm not so fond of photographing my face, but I'm pretty happy with the results, and HA! you can't even see the wrinkled sheet : ) hoping to get at least a 5

and yes, I chopped off all my hair

I was wondering where you were... why'd you chop off the hair? Nice shot and not a bad finish.

I love the high key look, and the pose is quite revealing, without showing a thing. Very wonderful lighting. Good luck.

I am always impressed when I see a photograph, specifically a beautiful woman done with this style of photography. I hope to someday learn this technique and with people like you...I am learning a great deal.

I like the fact that she's looking down and covering her breasts with her arms. might use a tiny bit of contrast. but overall a nice photo.

This is a great highkey. the lighting looks to be spot on. No detail lost on the edges or hair. composition is also good. 8

Lovely image. I like the lighting. A nice refreshing break from all the darker, shadowy, subdued shots. Very nice work.

I really like the softness of the skin and the colouring of the hair and body go nicely together.The pose is good but for me there is something about her eyes being closed that doesn't feel quite right(just my humble opinion) :o)

I love the highlighted effect

Lighting needed to be controlled more. To much form and detail seems blown out.

skin tones don't look natural, too much pink, lights are blown. good pose and expression. crop is too tight, misses some space at left and right

I love the contrast of her hair on the white, and the overall softness. Well done.

Nice high key shot

I like this wonderful high-key image. The lighting is very nice and the composition is superb. The model looks borderline uncomfortable, but when I look again, she seems pensive. Maybe if she relaxed her right hand a little more, the pose would seem more natural.
