An amazing capture. A photo that provokes more emotion, looks better, and is more alluring than if the model were actually in the same room - all without revealing any of those body parts that our instincts want us to see. You have created an image that will make me unhappy with any attempt on my own part from now until eternity. DAMN YOU :-)
Great expression! Wish her face were really sharp. I would also have gone with a looser crop at the top of the frame, getting the curve of bottom in the frame. But lighting and shallow DOF is very good. 7
Very sexy and playfull image. The focus could stand to be a little sharper on her eyes. It looks like it focused on the top of her hair. Still a great image and one of the better in this challenge. 9
In my 3 favourites. Impacting picture.!!!
Superb use of DOP!, great composition and evocative face expresion of the beautiful model become the picture extremely appealing. Excelent!!
This is a great shot of a beautiful model, because it brings a very playful mood to the challenge. The texture and colors in the hair are very delightful, and the overall colors are very nice. The only thing that seems a little 'not right' is her eye, maybe too much make up or something by her iris seems to blend right in to her eyelashes. Otherwise, beautiful lighting, and a great use of DOF make this an outstanding image. This image tells a lot about this lovely model, even the tan lines would indicate she is completely in charactor as a fun and playful person to be around. This would be a great shot to be used as a portrait as well. Certainly will be added to my favorites. <9>
Focus and use of shallow dept of field is really great here. Her exprsiion is genuine. If I had one negative comment to do, it would be the crop that should have included her buttock. 9
I like this shot because it looks like you sneaked up on her while she was sunbathing. Nice light. I like the expression on her face, she just looks natural.
Fantastic DOF, a very fun photograph, which oddly enough doesn't have that much nudity. Guess that shows you don't have to reveal much to bare it all. :)
Very interesting shot. I think I might have wanted to see a deeper depth of field to make the shoulder in focus, and the tattoo slightly LESS in focus than not. I think that likely would have brought up my score the remainder of the way. Good luck.
This is a great image.
Very beautiful, erotic etc.
Maybe the eye whites are a little over white, and the DOF could have been increased a little so at least the shoulder was sharp, but still A top finisher.
DOF is understandable, but doesn't add to the appeal of this photo. Both cheeks being cropped flat also hurts the image. Good looking model. Focus seems to be clearest on the top of her head.
great facial expression. Superb detail in the hair. It is really unfortunate that the crop cuts of the curves of her derriere. I think it would have added a lot to this playful nude. Nice composition. 7
Tattoo on back is distracting, and depth of field seems a tad bit shallow... I think it would have looked better if the mouth had been sharper. Other than that, great pose, and great expression! It must have been fun getting this shot!
bumping second time through quite a bit. I love the model's expression and her hair. I'd have preferred the tattoo was in focus if it was in there at all, otherwise it's distracting.
interesting composition. too bad the buttcheeks are cute half-way. I would've prefered seeing everything or no 'Crap'. Throws off the composition a little. Focus is off or soft on the face and since this could be considered a portrait, the eyes could've used some more sparkle. Skin is very faded (use of a gold umbrella to bounce light would greatly help). Model's expression is quite good. 7
This looks like Pedro's model. :) Her face, more than her nudity, seem to be the subject here. Crop, composition, lighting, well done. Tones excellent. 7 - good luck in the challenge!
If this isn't a ribbon winner I'll be disappointed. Very well done (tastefully I might add). Her face grabs your attention...with the DOF as it is you want to wander, then you are pulled back. Only negative is the pupil of her eye seems unusually large and dark - like a reflection was cloned out...a soft catchlight would be good.
Her face is focused with her body too blurred for my taste. I like her sexy expression and her one eye with the hair over it very alluring, but since this is more about nude and not portrait, that's just my personal take on it. Maybe have her tattoo as the focus and not her face - a fun idea you might want to try instead. Hope this is found helpful.
Excellent focus and DOF. Her expression is wonderful and fits the title very well. I like this composition that runs bottom left to top right. The inclusion of her tatoo and top of her (is there a more official way to say this?) butt crack gives a nice balance to the shot.
