I really like the use of the depth of field to highlight the fingers.

the DOF is a cool element to this image
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Perfectly controlled DOF. I don't care if you did it in camera or through selective blurring, the result contrast between detailed skin texture and soft & calm background is just right. 10

the DOF is interesting but really does nothing for the shot IMO.

nice DOF and perspective. good tones, but could be a little brighter overall. had also cropped less tight at top

Clever use of shallow DOF and foreground details to soften the details and provide some gentle anonymity.

Interesting focal point, nice tone and I like the feeling that this is a relaxed "slice of life" type photo.

My favorite picture in the challenge... the focus on the hand is perfect leaving the body to be soft and OOF... it works perfectly for this shot! She looks incredibaly comforable which really adds to the photo. I honestly just love everything about it! It's beautiful! and I love how real the model is! She should be very happy with this shot!
Very Well Done!!

the focus and lighting is so subtle, this is the best in the challenge. not like NUDE in your face, but artistic nude.

Subtle and mysterious. I love your choice of dof!

I really like your selective focus and short DoF. The model indeed has the feeling of calm, well done 7.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 01/29/2007 01:27:20 AM
This is a beautifull image, and beautifull lighting. I think that a focus on the hand & knee is not what the image is about though. 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 01/29/2007 01:24:15 AM
wonderful use of selective focus, and great title very nice, subtle
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 01/29/2007 01:08:50 AM
Very moody. I kinda feel that maybe nothing should be in focus rather than have the hand and knee in focus which seem arbitrary. Just my opinion though.
