Lovely capture. A little red reduction would have worked more to the neck and upper chest area. The facial expression is tops with lovely eyes, nose and sensous lips. Bumping up.
The pose and crop are okay and the model is beautiful, but the lighting makes you look a little bit like you're made of wax. More flattering light could have done wonders for this shot and model. Not a bad effort at all though.
That is a very effective picture that shows how much nude can be so far from porn. My eyes are equally drawn to her nice facial features than her breast.
Nice focus on the eyes/face. I think this image would work better if the focus on the rest of the model was softer. As it is, it feels to me like it's supposed to be in focus, but it's not, so it's distracting (just my personal opinion). Also, I'm not really getting the connection to the title.
I like the focus on her eyes and the color of the lighting. She seems somewhat stiff though which doesn't fit the title. I find the freckles on her chest pretty distracting. Perhaps a gausian blur ( which is legal for this challenge ) would have made your models skin more flattering. Shes's a beautiful model .
I love the hair, and the lighting, while slightly harsh, it works here. The bikini is actually a distraction where it's at. I think it either being completely gone, or covering the nipple would have made this a better image, even in a nude challenge. Good Luck.
I'd like to have seen more in focus. I feel the arm is distracting with it's fuzzyness. The nudity in this image almost seems like a mistake, she's still wearing her shirt, but it's just not on. Something is also strange with her eyes, they seem to be looking in different directions, I'm not sure why that is, maybe just a weird angle? 6.
The lighting on her face is wonderful. I like her expression too. The bra is a little oversaturated I think and maybe a little distracting. I'd almost prefer it gone completely, but I get the "inhibition" title. Bumping to a 7.
Nice and crisp on the eyes and face with a good dof. I think it might add to the image to have her look at the camera, but I'd have to see that to say one way or the other. I do like her expression.
The eyes are beautiful and sharp. The image portrays shyness well.
Crop is pretty harsh on the right. Colour seems pretty yellowish, but I am on my not well calibrated monitor at home.
this model has wonderful eyes. She would make for greta portraits. The exposed breast looks awkward in this photo, like the photographer said quick expose a nipple reaal fast. It does not seem to be part of the image. There is a lot of potential but the images is lacking a certain flow.
The model looks very uncomfortable and the lighting could be better. I'm not crazy about the orientation... maybe rotate 90 degrees. I do like the cropping though.
the color is way off on this models skin. looks like you are using the wrong kind of lighting. I'd suggest shooting next to a window for the natural tones. the composition/ crop is wonderful! the border just isn;t doing it for me. with such a simple beautiful photo it is kind of distracting.
(I just thought of something that might help the skin tone- selective color in the yellow channel. try messing around with that!)
Good focus on her left eye and nice lighting. The sparkle in her left eye really gives some life to the shot. I think I would like this shot a little more with a deeper DOF to keep her right eye, hair and shoulder in sharper focus.
