i shot this a week ago on a white studio stage. she was a hired model for the shoot and i had a lot of fun working with her.

this shot is pretty much straight out of the box. a little sharpening, contrast and saturation added.

this is really a great nude shot, i love the serene feel here and the negative space!
what i'd be interested in is how you set up your lights to get the background that white without blowing out her skin. if you don't mind to share...:)

I love the red on white. Absolutely beautiful picture. Really well done. In my opinion, much better than most nudes on this site. My only negative critique is that I'm not sure I like the border. It seems to give it a post card feel.

nude, but wearing something... novel.

nice colour of red but it almost looks like you cut her out and pasted on a white background- i say that because of the shadows around the arms. Still, i like it, and especially the contrast between the white and red. Nice lighting too.

This would really be so much more interesting with some sort of setting, anything but the blinding white background and more dynamic lighting.This just looks way too "stock"...the model deserves so much more than what you have given her for she is quite lovely...so much more than mere clipart.

lighting a bit too bright for my taste. the skin tone is too bright.

I like all the negative space and the splash of red. well done.

Fun shot, nice placement. The slightly larger border on the bottom gives the photo a nice feeling of depth

Nude? - We're all naked under our clothes.

Maybe its my monitor, but I'm noticing darker tones (not white) in the upper left hand corner only; its advanced editing so you should just clone that out. Also, there's quite a bit of white space in this image, and you'd be better of filling the frame a bit more with your model. That minor detail aside, I think this is a unique and interesting take on nudes--naked but not naked.
