Greetings from the Critique Club
Congrats on the top 20 slot in this challenge.
I think the idea of this is excellent. There's a lot to like about it. I do actually like the horizontal orientation, it's not what one might expect. I noted your comment about the pimple, that is something that the eye is drawn to.
I wonder whether this is ever so slightly underexposed? I somehow feel like the body should be a tiny bit brighter (ok, that's just me nit picking.)
The one thing I would change is the border. Several of your commenters have mentioned it and it bothers me too. I'm not entirely sure how I would feel if it were borderless, but somehow this border really gives the feeling that you have chopped the legs & head off. The use of borders is such a personal thing, but if you belong in the don't like camp, then the score can really take a bit of a hit. I typically like a subtle border, but in this case, I think this would benefit from not having a border.
Overall a very well done image that completely meets the challenge.
Sarah

I like the idea, but not the most flattering angle. |

A good study, and the way the color of the skin moves from the whiter/brighter bottom to the darker/warmer top is strong. I don't know quite what I think of the border. I find it distracting, but I don't know what I would think without it. |
