First idea that came to me. Don't know is that's a good thing or not. Although it's pretty much what I envisioned, it doesn't pop for me and I never really "felt" it happening.

PP=Crop to a vertical pluse minor levels, brightness/contrast, hue/saturation tweaks. Slight USM.

Greetings from the Critique Club.

Hi Clay,

Is this your leg?

A good concept - many of us have very positive connotations with beautiful, silky-smooth, shaved legs. Unfortunately you haven't really conveyed the idea of silky-smooth here. I think perhaps if there had been more smooth leg, and less ripples of foam it would have doen better. My main issue here is the lighting. There is a little bit of noise in the foam shadows and in the tiles in the background which indicates inadequate lighting. Was this shot under the normal bathroom lighting? The tiles in particular add nothing to the overall image - perhaps a closer crop on the leg would have worked. In conclusion - showing more leg is good.

It is my hope that these insights are helpful and constructive. Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique. And please remember to mark it "Helpful" if you found it so. Good luck with future challenges.

Cheers
Paul

I would like the composition more if the hand didnn't have rings and the smoooth strip was more visible, like rotated forward. Still., good job.

nice idea. the tiles are a little distracting and i'd like more leg - well more visible silky smooth leg.

Now this is a good example of something that is silky and smooth. I love my womans legs after she shaves...
