raining outside... got gf to stand out front of our basement door. cant see the tain but the gloomy effect and wet hair are evident. burned/dodged bricks a bit for emphasis, as well as hair. slight crop. neat image, sharpen for grain, border. some spot editing to get rid of weird things.

Somehow I missed this photo when it was new, perhaps it was posted before I joined. I wanted to add my highest compliments for this shot. Perhaps rain clouds do come with silver linings. It is too late to vote, but accept my belated 10.
I really like the lighting you produced here. Nude images are always my favorites, and you produced yet another that I like. Beautiful model and terrific post-processing work to yield a very nice image. Wonderful work.
Definitely a strong entry in the last nude challenge. Surprised you didn't do a little better. Perhaps if the rain had been more evident, but as I said, this was really well done.
Beautiful lighting and composition. Congrats on your 11th place finish and new PB! This is both a very tasteful and graceful shot. The only thing I really notice is that the hair on her shoulder looks a bit odd (perhaps processing remnants?). Still, very nice work.
I would like to say congrats on your high finish, but I'm really very disappointed in how low it finished. It was in my top 3! I love this shot and thought it would have finished much higher. Very nicely done.
Very interesting lighting. The softness of the skin really gives power to the model. The way the darkness is threated also works quite well. It could have worked even better without the concrete wall on the right too. Frame is very good and helps in defining the mood of the shot. Model is beautiful and confident, making this shot even better. Congradulation. 9
extra note: I feel like i know this model... Does 'Bicolline' ring a bell?
I have come back to comment on your photo. I absolutely love the contrast and the composition of this photo. O like the way you can see that she is leaning up against the wall. I hope this does well. Top ten.
Very well lit. The only minor change I would make is to avoid the pressure with the left hand thumb. Otherwise, the pose with the hands so placed and the head up gives this image a very good feel. The hair twisting around the shoulders and down the clavicle is a divine touch. Bumping up.
For some reason, there are a lot of b/w photos that I scored very high in this challenge. Tastefully done, yet still provoking. If I may suggest slightly different composition, with your model occupying the right side of the photo, leaving more negative space to the left. It may improve this already excellent shot.
Fantastic pic. I really like the composition and the lighting in your pic. The colour are perfect and the woman is really beatiful. HOpe to see that in the top 10. 10. Added to favs.
The expression of the model is what makes it for me. Very nice. Skin seems extremely soft (too much neat image? Or maybe diffuse glow?). Regardless, very nice! I wish we saw more details in the hair instead of this very dark area, and maybe more texture on the wall to the right. Nice crop and composition. 7
Lighting is wonderful. Model's skin seems almost too soft for my liking around her face and arms. Not sure if that makes sense but it is still a beautiful photo and model.
I love the lighting in this shot. It really makes the model's skin look silky smooth. My only lighting suggestion would be to have a small reflector by the model's left foot softening the dark shadown under her left breast. Her facial expression is great, and her hands look good too. Good job.
Lovely model. The skin looks almost too perfect, as does the brick or tile behind her. Maybe turn down the Neat Image? Sorry if you didn't use any. I love the lighting as well. Good luck.
Good shot. Nice lighting, lovely pose and very tastefully done. You should have spent a few more kb's, the photo really suffers from high jpg compression, especially on her hands. Good job, just try to use more of the 150 kb we are given on DPC. Tyrkinn
I really like this one... the skin looks like porcelin and the expression on the model is one of complete freedom... Excellent lighting.... My pick for a ribbon - 10
Nice soft image with a great tonal range. Beautiful model, who seem quite confident of herself. I like the light coming from above, and the very black back ground. A stunning shot which will be added to my favorites. Very nicely done. Good Luck! <9> Bumping it up a notch! <10>
the pose really suits the model - it is unconventional for a nude, the kind of pose youd expect to see in street clothes but it matches an "attitude" (i dont mean that in a bad way i just dont know a better word) that the model seems to crayy around her. I think in this case, it may have added to the image if her hair was brushed off her shoulders. The models skin, to me, looks a little too smooth. especially in contrast with those stray stands of hair. Composition and light are greta.Overall i really like this image.
