Something about this pose looks contrived. I'd like the image better if the pose seemed more natural. Since the tones in this picture are all so close to a smooth grey you might have been better off submitting the color version of this shot. In any case, adjusting the curves / contrast could give this image an added kick. Since this is a nudes challenge, entering a model dressed in a rather conservative two-piece will generally be less-well received than more overt nudity.
uuuhm, sorry, but where is the nude aspect in this shot? It's unfortunately not a lingerie challenge, so I'll have to score you lower than I would otherwise. Pose, compositon and lighting are good. Not spectacular, but fair enough nevertheless.
OK, I love the model and the pose, the composition is great! It just looks a bit flat to me though...as in it doesn't come up and smack me in the face! Good effort though!
This reminds me of an old pin-up type of photo. With this one I think it would have been better to see the face like in the old pin-ups and maybe a more elaborate set. The lighting is good.
Very lovely model, set and lighting. I like most of this image, the only thing that bothers me is the visibility of the ribcage on the image. It's distracting a bit. I might have tried a slightly different pose to get a similar look without the visible ribs.
IMO The pose seems too forced and is somewhat unflattering ( the rib / breast area )...the model doesn't seem "comfortable". In the background I see alot of digital "artifacting", cute undies though, but then again this is a "nude" challenge.
she is not nude. There are ways to cover what shes got without cloths. This lighting is too flat and her pose seems a little husler like to me. However everyone likes something different in their nudes and I am sure this will appear to a number of people, just not me.
Nice lighting though maybe not dramatic enough to fully bring out the form of your model. You have some very bizarre color banding going on in the background. Almost as if there was a pattern there that I can not figure out. What did you use for a background? I'm sure that you are getting comments about this not being a nude shot. I am not sure it fits the challenge myself. Nude doesn't have to be totally naked but should at least give the illusion of it IMHO.

for me this DNMC. If yourself or the model did not want to shot a nude, why not opt for a close up or a stratigically drapped piece of fabric. There are many images you could have taken that would have met the challenge without having to actually be nude.
Very nice composition and lighting. The photo is a little soft but you might have ment it that way. I did not vote this very high because the object of this challenge was nude and I think it would have scored real high and maybe even ribboned if she was nude. Good luck.
looks slightly out of focus. good pose and composition. blown out light on the bottom left is distracting. contrast in mid tones could have been stronger.
