Wow, you really nailed this shot. The blurry curves really creates a nice flow in the shot and there's just enough detail to the subject.

Definitely should be recommended for an oobie award. Lets see if I can figure out how to do that.

This sure went over everyone's head, didn't it? I loved this image during voting.

xianart was spot on by mentioning Anais Nin - I concur.

Agree with this wholeheartedly. I'm saddened to see this do so poorly, such a subtle but impactful image.

a simply stunning image. dark, soft, and truly sensual (in its proper meaning, although it's sexy too). for some reason i think of anaïs nin when i see this. which is a very good thing.

Beautiful subtle image that hopefully is not getting overlooked in this challenge. Like a charcoal line drawing. 10

Interesting. I think, due to the form being more vertical in nature, the image should have a vertical format to emphasize it.

Had to step back to find her. A little more contrast would have helped. She's blurry but not very messy.

This was very engaging, it took a little while to realize what it was.

Oh so subtle! I almost over looked it. IMO a little bit more contrast! OK I know it's basic editing!

a tad dark/soft for me but i see where this was headed

A blurred naked lady ... hmmm, I think if the colours had been better the image would have more impact, it just all seems a little too grey to me, sorry

Very nice nude. Has a very impressionistic look to it. Also has an artistic appeal similar to dutch masters. Love this shot. Had to look at it for a while before I finally got the intricacy and subtlty of the shot. The more I look at it the better I like it. Adding to my favs.

I think I see a female torso but not sure...looks more like an oof stationary object.

This kinda has the feel of someone wayyy to drunk about to get lucky. I think in that sense its a very ugly shot but I dont think that's all together a bad thing at least it creates a story.
I think its a little to blurred and lacks contrast and colour becoming a bit of a smudge.

Needs some more interest to be exciting. Not enough definition of anything to make or keep interest.

indeed!

Nice idea. I'd like it better if it was a little lighter overall with a little stronger color.
