Greetings from the Critique Club!
I really like the pose! What a playful image! The glasses add to the concept of playful fun.
I think, however, that the representation of Pi would have more appeal if it had been painted on...it feels odd to me to see shadows cast on her torso from the cut-out. And it fits the challenge only by this addition. As one commentor pointed out, there are plenty of Pi curves on the female form...this is not really one of them.
The lighting is the largest liability in the image...too bright on the chest causing blown out highlights...too strong and uni-directional causing unflattering shadows to be cast on "Pi" the supposed subject of this image. Perhaps a little reflected fill light would have helped to even out the light and created better modeling of the subject. Also, without backlight her hair disappears into the void...a loss that takes away from her form and figure.
Overall, I think you've made a good beginning toward photographing the human figure but need to strengthen the connection with the challenge if high scores are your aim.
Hope you don't find my comments too harsh...PM me if you do. |

| The female body is full of round shapes that show the true spirit of pi, just let it speak for itself. Putting the pi *symbol* on her belly seems rather forced and only spoils the beauty of *pi*. |

| The shadows say that your pi is falling off. There's a slight green tinge to the colour, which is bugging me, but overall quite good. |

| This is interesting, almost as if the model were contemplating the meaning of pi. The lighting seems a little off, it is a little too bright on her right arm and chest, and the shadow from her elbow is a little distracting. The color also seems a little off. Finally, the negative space on the left of the image doesn't seem to contribute much for me. I feel like there is a story trying to be told here, but I'm not sure I get it. |
