i like that it is a laytex/pvc maid-outfit :) super-fetishy and its great that you didn't use the laytex lube to shine it up all bright because it flows more like fabric- i _DO_ wish however that i could see at least a slight bit more of the models face? i love the overall lighting- its well done- and great choiceof colors/background for the outfit etc... great image :)
So you´re saying its impossible that some people might think this is a 4ish photo?
puritain or not!
On technical skills: 10.
On emotive quality: 10.
No, I know we all debate what deserves 1, 2, 3, 4... but giving this a 4 is a message too. "No more ass cheeks." Cuz the photo is otherwise flawless. So, you don't like the message, you vote down the image. Huh. I thought it was about creating images with meaning or something to talk about. Back to stock...
Man thats Egomanic to say that everyone that voted this 4 or lower has a serios problem.....
Could it be that this shot is not perfect (or below avarege) like you seem to belive?
Could it be that you yourself have your head up your ass?
and last but not least could it be that some people are tired of people like you who prefer not to be anounymous like most of us when it comes to voting.... I mean you could just as well spray your name on the wall in the background on each photo you submit.....
And if your such a pro what the hell are you doing here?
So, according to you, people should vote with their feelings and not with a minimum of objectivity? Being tired of my shots, does that entitle them to vote the shots under 4 because they don't like the style?
My comment had nothing to do with ego.
Like it or not, it's my opinion and I will not stay silent when facing that amount of low scores from puritains.
I stand by my comment.
And what do you have against pros anyway? I didn't know this site was not accepting pros.
Hey Nazgul, what in your opinion would be a perfect shot, maybe a man dressed in a maid outfit would better suit you.
Great work Martin.
What I think would be a perfect shot does not matter at all and was never the issue in my comment, and I never said I didnt like this particular shot (I actually think its great).
Its the attitude of the photographer that I dont like.

This is a perfect shot, and it's too bad some people vote on taste instead of photographic merit. You are an AMAZING professional photographer, and you are a true lighting master. This shot is absolutely stunning, I'm proud to say I voted this a 10, and would have given it a 12 if I could. Keep up the great work, You are a true pro!

Once again a masterful and very sensual shot Martin. Du très beau travail. Bianca et toi formez une équipe du tonnerre. Excellent lighting and love the tones in her hair.
I didn't get to vote on this image, but the first thing that came to mind was "squeaky clean". LOL!
You're right, I was too harsh: I should have offered them a map too.
Lori, you shouldn't take my comment personally; you didn't vote. Had you voted a 4 and under, I'd tell you the same thing I told them. But that is not the case. You used your judgement and decided that your personal taste would compromise your ability to properly rate this image. I call that being very professional and respectful.
I thought my choice of words to those ignorant fools was quite polite actually, considering the 31 votes of 4s and under (almost 10% of the people who voted on this image!). 4 and under: meaning, UNDER average. Don't get me wrong: I don't mind not being in the top 3 and I think there were terrific images in this challenge. So my comment has nothing to do with my position in the challenge.
It's just that I pity those lost souls and I thought they'd benefit from some sympathy. Offering them a solution on how to stick their heads out of their own ass hole was, I thought, a nice gesture. After all, who in their right mind would like to be in that position? Some guidance was in order! A flash light and batteries was the first thing I thought of... Digging their way out was out of the question; way too messy and they could hurt themselves.
My two cents.

Woah..come on now, that's harsh. Nobody here said anything nasty about you if they didn't like your work. Without sounding too after-school-special, not everyone has to love your genre and you don't have to love theirs. Because it isn't my taste I would just not vote on it. Should *I* being digging up some batteries?
Thanks,
Lori
P.S. I'd skip voting on it because my personal views shouldn't effect the scores of your technically-great work.
No, you did the mature thing and passed because you didn't care for the
subject.
I find it funny that some people are so closed minded that they can't vote fairly on an image because it shows a little skin. This was an exremely tasteful shot, that was executed perfectly.

Martin - wonderful work, as usual. Only voting by narrow minded folk brought this down. I dont undersatnd how anybody, male or female, could be offended by this image. Keep the faith!

I was not sure if this would quite get the ribbon, only because of the high quality of the entire challenge (as in most this woiuld be Blue without question) and that some people do not like the sexy shots so much ...
But for the record, this was my favourite shot of the challenge :)
Definitely very nice buttock!, I like the warm pleasant color. I would crop it little bit to the left to have the whole bottle standing on th counter in the picture. (9)
To whoever did this, the only thing lacking in this is a photo assistant to...
tweak the subject matter...you know, make the cheeks a little rosier... That being said ... a glance over the shoulder, with perhaps a gleam in the eye or a blush on the cheeks would have put this on top! 8
where's the feather duster? i mean, what's a maid if she doesn't have all the tools? great capture. btw, can i get her number. i'm sure my wife will be ecstatic when i tell her i've found a new maid!
Great shot, DrJOnes! Or at least it looks like oone you would enter. Love the DOF although nt very shallow but I like it. It shows items you'd find in a house like the bar. Would have been really good if the maid had a feather duster. Great skin tones and even lighting. 9
Very sexy. I wish there was a story behind it. A reason, why she is bending down. I don't know: somebodys legs in the first plan (as if she was asked to do it), or she should be picking something from the table, or preparing a meal or a drink. Something like that.
I know you've heard this before, and probably from me, but I don't think this genre is appropriate for this site. This stuff normally comes in plastic wrap at local drug stores ;-)
I like the harmonious color scheme and the exposue is dead on. Her pose is great. I don't like where you've chosen to crop her legs. I would like to see her in full frame.
For a respectful site, I thought this, among all the excellent photography was sort of done distastefully. Butt after viewing many of the photos on this site, I can almost "know" who took this shot. So for you, this shot is right up your alley.
I'm thinking if the employer is home -- he is SLIGHTLY distracted while this maid does her work, huh??? It's a great picture. Skin tones are soft and beautiful. Interesting composition. 8
Excellent photograph...lighting, composition and execution are flawless. The model is well...flawless. I wish I could hang something like this on a wall...but my wife would surely beat me.
Ooo kinky...! This is a really good picture, not just for the quality and crispness but because it stands out from everything else I've seen in the challenge so far. My only niggly point is that the background is a little dark, particularly next to her right shoulder, so you lose the shoulder a bit, but otherwise I cannot fault it!
It's hard to by anonymous with a recognized style and redhead such as your muse.
Overall picture, very nice
Other comments:
I feel that the pose lacks of involvement with her enviroment. If she was dusting or making the bed or something, it would have been better in my opinion.
The background looks like a projected background . . . but. . . I Think this is not the case because the sahows are consistent with the lighting setup and I think that I see the lighting prop on the right side of the mirror, but it could be a flook . . .
I like your style, I would love to see you in action.
I don't know why this reminds me of DrJones. :) Well ofcourse the model is hot, I also like the effect on the wooden table and the stool. lovely composition. 10
If not, you have done a wonderful job of imitating his style. This is a great shot, good color, great contrast and great composition. I give this a 10, based on the wonderful work, the only thing that would put it over the top if she was looking for her shoulder just a bit ;)
Completely not my taste; however, very nicely taken. Great use of the colors. Different. I think the composition could have been stronger if the line of the bar were not so centered. 8.
9. The colors are so perfect in this shot, and the pose is very striking. This website is really teaching me how to see this type of subject matter as a form of art. When I first joined, I probably would have stuck my nose up at it because it's not something I'd typically like, but this is just a wonderful shot. I only wish I could see a little more of her profile...
Definitely the best of the nude shots ;-) This is quality work good props, nice tones and the harmony between the red curtain and the maids hair is good. I find the mirror distracting and makes it hard to focus on the girls face.
Whooopp!!! Wowzers...Her buttsky looks great, but I've got two issues here: her legs look soooo awkward. Her knee poking out is very strange looking. And her face...the nose...again, very awkward...it probably would've looked better had she completely looked straight ahead, or even towards the camera. BUTT (heh), regardless of all that, her skin looks fabulous...and did I mention her BUTT? Thanks!
A master in his own genre. A great shot, beautiful model, beautiful surroundings and props, perfect lighting etc. Comments ? Not sure, but there is no apparent reason to bend forward (other then to show of course) and maybe it would be better to show part of her face.
I think I can guess who this is, and I REALLY want to like this... but I just don't think this ranks up with your best shots. There's nothing wrong with it, but it just doesn't really do it for me. I know we're not supposed to be looking at her face(!), but this would work for me better if she was looking to her left so I could see her face as well. I think it's the lack of a clear pof here that bothers me... the background is quite busy, and lovely though her bottom is, I find my eye being drawn away by everything else without somewhere to settle. 7
Very nice Colour theme (Hair and background). The model"s movement is nice and fluid, but could've been slightly accentuated but a better stretch of the right leg. The slight fuzyness of the background set gives the image a good warmth dreamy look.
I assume I know who took this image, but it doesn't matter as I can rate it objectively as an excellent shot. The model is beautiful (as always) and your lighting wonderful on her flawless skin. I think the glass bottles are a little distracting and I would have liked to have seen a hint of her eyes or have her otherwise engaged in some action, but it is a very sexy, well photographed image, none the less.
Martin, you are truely the master of this type of photography. Excellent lighting. I also like the difference in contrast between your subject and the BG. She is very high contrast, yet your BG is very high key, with a soft focus kind of feel.
I don't really know what to say about this. It looks very professional with great lighting and good DoF. I think showing the face side on a little more would be nice, but my guess is the face isn't the subject of the photo :P 8
Well I am not sure what to say about this
It is very different
Nice skin tone and I guess nice for the guys
Its very well done detail and colour great
Whats for dinner?????
I have to admit that I gave this shot a lower score because it has absolutely no appeal for me, and the pose is unflattering to my point of view. It's a great technical shot though, and I've seen much worse in publications of this genre. There's also something about the soft focus of the background that I'm not entirely sure about. 7
Gotta' be DrJones... another beautiful model, and racy, but tasteful costume. The use of subdued color in the background, with a red backdrop to match her hair, manages to bring a balance to the composition that wouldn't exist otherwise. Great capture of the skin tones and smooth, graceful lines of your model.
Well well well mister Dude!!! Est-ce ton nouveau bar que je vois là?!?!? :-) Super bell photo as always.... je pense qu'elle aurait eu un petit impact de plus si elle était en train de faire une fonction de maid (épousetter, vaccum....) Très sexy! Great job my friend! :-)
Ahh dr jones. in a challenge like this, your picture stands right out =)
as usual, excellent work. i like how the red hair matches the red backround in the upper half, and the the skin matches the wood in the bottom half. it gives it a nice effect with the colours.
c'est bien de voir du talent quebecois mener la course sur un site international.
congrats -peete
someone said to me earlier (before i saw this pic) "have you seen 'Maid'? If that's not Bianca's a$$, I'll print the picture and eat it" Now i know what they were referring to. :)
Great shot - love the apparent shallow depth, though that may well be Gaussian Blur - I can't tell. nice job.
Lighting, colours, focus...it all comes together in this shot. Not to mention textures.
Of course the pose, as provocative as it is, is still tastefully done and creates a
very sensual, erotic image. Well posed.
Very distinctive. I love the curves, the creaminess of the complexion, the voluptuous gluteus, the curls of the hair, the feel of the dress (OMG, I sound like some kind of a perv, but maybe I am). I feel like a voyeur looking at this photograph or even better ... an adolescent first dicovering sensuality and sexuality. And lastly, redheads rock.
excellent job, doc. the set-up is simple ... the colors are pleasing ... the shiny rubber clothes grab light perfectly ... and your model is, ...well, ...very pretty
Not only for the fact that this shot perfectly sums up lust attraction and playful sexuality. But I love the complex nature of the exquisite sharpness on the behind, the out of focus maple furniture and glassware, and the facial expression and head title, hair placement. This is a beautiful work of lust and playful sexuality.
If this was an awful lot WORSE I would call it stunning. As it is, hmmm, need a new word as it is stunning+++. Love the sharpness, combined with the DOF and the lighting. I would give it a "10", but might now get a "1" as I've just copped it from my girlfriend with her doing the "wish my bum was as amazing as that!" thing ... thanks for nothing!!!!! Hope this gets blue (it's my favourite) but with this level of competition anything could happen. Best of luck!
This picture is sexy, very sexy, but since this is an artistic contest, I would like it to have made me learn or imagine something about the girl, I mean something other than "Oh my GOD!". Maybe seeing the expresion of her face I would have felt suprsised, or amused, or intrigued or anything - you would have opened more possibilities for my interpretation of her and her sourroundings. Anyway, you lose the 10 for the above reasons and you also lose the 9 because you were there and I wasn't => 8
It is not my cup of tea but I've got to commend the high quality of the work. There is no doubt where the focus of the composition is. And the colors add to the sexy feel.
Verrry sweet :) funny how easy it is to just focus on one element in the pic, I'd love to comment on the background but have yet to find a way study it ;)
