Tried to find a different angle on the subject, hope it worked... Used 50mm f/1.8 prime and tripod with a bare lightbulb from ceiling directly in front. Post work , b&w conversion using hue/sat, added more contrast with duplicate layers set to screen & multiply with layermasks.

It sure is! Cool, cheeky, funny, original. May not be very erotic, but I like the lighting, hands on breasts, B&W (i.e. refreshingly non selective desat...), the format/aspect ratio of the shot, near symmetry of it.
I like the whole less is more thing. I think this might not get the votes that it deserves, I think the finger tips should have maybe been more in focus. I hope you do well. Good luck. 9
I like the simplicirty of this.
Nice form lightinhg & contrast.
My only criticism is that the hands liik very masculin. Or are they? This should be made clear to the viewer.
I contemplated this pose, and you (or your model) probably out did me. I love the tonel. I might have given this more than I did, had the border been a bit less. (However it's well inside accceptable, just think it's unneccesary)
If I was a member, this shot would be a 10 and in my opinion it should win first place. Excellent skin tones, shadows, and the symmetry on it is excellent.
Lovely curves in the breast showing form, but for this type of close up where you have the hands as parts of the composition, they need to be 100% exact mirrors of each other.
nit picky but the finger tips seems a bit out of focus... also i think your shot could have used a bit more darks to increase the tonal range. A creative shot.
