| This is a very lovely shot, that shows great detail. The lighting is beautiful, and gives off a very shy feeling. Good Luck. |

| This is a very nice photo, I like the lighting and use of shadow to lead the eye through the photo - very well done! |

ah yes...from my "Photographs Rated 7:" group.
I like this image very much, but I can tell you a few things that voters won't like (doesn't mean they're right).
The pose looks a bit uncomfortable - both how she's sitting and her position in the frame. With a title like "Quietly Waiting" you're implying a softer moment, and the pose doesn't represent that. Her hands are the focal point, and they're right in your face in the middle of the frame. had you shifted her further to the left of the frame and left some more negative space on the right, it would guide your eye in a gentle way to the focal point, rather than throwing it right at you. Now - if you were GOING for an uncomfortable look, then it works - but doesn't jive with the title.
Her hands are a bit blown out...some of the detail is lost on the skin on her fingers, and we all know that at DP your exposure must be perfect, or the anal-ysts will ding your score.
there appears to be a slight duotone to the image, but it's not very obvious and it's fairly pink. I appreciate subtlety, but not everyone does. usually if i'm going to tone an image, I make sure it's obvious enough that they know its intentional, and i make sure it's consistent - in this case it seems to have affected her skin, but not the red in her hair.
Forum comments about 'how much skin' is showing might have had an affect as well...while she IS nude, it may not be perceived as such by voters looking for boobies.
now...beyond the voters:
i love the soft focus, and personally i LIKE the pose. at first i was a little unsure about both hands being there - wondered if they were both hers or if someone else was involved (i can't bend my arms like that :)). I think conceptually it works well, and couldn't care less if there are folds in the waist - very few people wouldn't have them there while sitting. The composition is good, though i'd have done what i mentioned above with adding some negative space on the right - but that's a personal preference...i really LIKE negative space on these types of shots.
To me it's a very personal image, and a very appealing one. I stick with my 7.
as always, these are just my opinions...doesn't make me right - they're just my thoughts as I look at it.

| looks like you pushed the contrast too far, the areas between light and shadow are burnt. skin tone is too reddish. |

| I think that for this image a classic black and white was a better choice. |

| I would use another pose than this as the folds at the waist are very unflattering. If you curve the body in the other direction you will still get an interesting image, and a smooth curve. The lighting in this is really good. The colour in this image is so absolutely spot on & perfect that you could mistake it for B&W. LOL.. Oops sorry about the B&W mention. I have no idea how that got there. I wasn't even doing copy & paste. Guess I was going GAGA after trying to write deep and meaningful comments on all images. |

| Highlights on the hand are a bit blown, otherwise, I like the lighting here. The leg takes away from the composition a bit, leaving me to wonder if it would have worked better with a bit looser crop. Oh, BTW, the model is quite beautiful ;-) |

| Intersting pose and a apt crop. The lights are excellent and take the eyes to the hands. I liked the high contrast from dark bakground and the bright outline- Very beautiful. Bumping it to 9 |
