This is a very nice and well lit study. The only thing I would have done different is to have shot it with a telephoto, like about 120-160 to keep the foot in true proportion. Bumping up on great visual and sensual impact.
The effect works well, but there is (imo) too much lost to the darkness -- her left hand comes from nowhere, the flower is floating, etc. I'm thinking that if you moved slightly to your left the leg would have provided a much stronger diagonal than it does and the balance between light and dark would have been made more equal. As it is, the negative space on the right (her left) is not being used by the model and is not adding to the image.
A really well done classical B&W nude. I can't offer any advice, just congradulations on the photo, and to your model. Not a really stong match to the challenge, but I do like this image. 9
Excellent shot. Great use of shadow and contrast. The model doing "forget-me-not" adds a real personal touch to the picture. Thankyou, I'm keeping this one.
I don't see touch in this photo, well in hardly any photo in this contest.
But this is a good executed beautifull photo and I hope it does well, first good score that I give today!
