actually...i rather agree. This is the only time Ive posed someone. In her case..she was not willing to lounge around nude and let me have my way with the camera. So..this one pose was it. Otherwise, I had no nude that week. |

WOW..a BLUE! thanks :)
The position of her right arm bothered me too. I wanted it higher. The poor girl was in pain as I yelled out to her to bend her leg and point her toe and arch your back more and move that hand etc etc etc. She has never posed before and was not extremely comfortable with the idea of nudity. My thanks to her for having such a flexible back and putting up with me and for her willingness to bare it all for this one shot. I will now process the other 200 clothed shots as promised. :)

what a wonderful photo! The only thing which disturbs me that her left arm is repeating the form of her face and makes the composition a bit strange. imho just a relaxed arm next to her haed would have benn nicer. Else, the lighting is great, the bw tone are good too. Good luck, hope to see you on the front page next week.

And we have a winner :D
Probably the best model out of all of them which really helps. Doesn't matter how good your photo is, if your model isn't all that then the photo will suffer.
Her pose seems very professional, as if she knows what she is doing. Her feel are nicely arched as is her back and neck. She seems to have perfect tension running through her muscles which is something a lot of shots fail to capture - resulting in lots of loose flabby skin.
The lighting I am not 100% keen on, but comparatively it's great. I can't make my mind up if i like the highlights in the background or not.
Superb capture though all round. 9 |

What appears to be a light source at each end of the model cast just the right kind of light and shadow. the image is crisp, clean and sharp as a tac. I know I am doing well this challenge. Yours will be tough to beat:) Congrats...Ten!! |
