I don't really see the need to have this validated but I really like the image. I think the model should have been moved to the right to emphasize negative space on the left. Right now she splits right down the center which leaves for two smaller static spaces.
Very pretty, but the pattern on the curtain is distracting. The bright light that makes the subject so nice also cluuters her background. I would suggest a sheer or plain white curtain for this. --Opinion only, still a lovely picture.
This must have been a difficult balance of light and shadow. I would have liked to see more detail in the curtain around her body (maybe D&B). I think the lighting on the body is well done. Composition okay but position looks awkward and unnatural. 7 - good luck in the challenge!
great backdrop, i like the difference in exposures, unfortunately the post work is noticeable and slightly distracting. if the edges of her body were slightly feathered it might not be so noticeable. 7
Beautiful shot, lighting on the model is just amazing. There's something going on around her butt, almost anti-aliased (sp?) or something. Model is beautiful, one of my favs!
good idea. The brightness of the window complements the model. Imo, the picture needs a little bit of lighting on the foreside to create some more modeling.
Unique pose. I keep looing at the hair and the edges of her body. They seem rought, as if the model was croped from another photo and placed on this background. Good effort!
Nice silhouette. I like the pose and lighting. The textures and shadows of the bg are nice, they add to the overall look. I'm wondering if a portrait crop might make this image zip. Good job.
lovely photo. the only thing that bothers me is the that some of the edges of the silhoette aren't smooth, especially at the lower stomach, hair and lower arm. i loved everything else about it.
Though I completely love the concept, I would have liked to have seen a little tighter crop on the right. It just looks like there is too much light space there - it keeps drawing my eyes away from the figure.
I do like the shot, love the silhouette look, and the expressiveness of the woman, and especially love the color treatment. 9
Very well done, great lighting and foreground/background contrast. The pose is lovely, but I keep thinking she is unbalanced. I don't think it's the pose, but rather the empty space in front of her. My guess is that vertical full-body framing would have turned this very good photo into a superb one. 8
I like the graceful pose of the model. I also like the backlighting as the sole light source for this shot. The composition is ok, though I wonder if placing her out of the center could create an interesting dynamic.
I love the lighting, the posing, and the shadows. There's some wierd fragmenting on the harsh edges that may be due to some processing issues, but could also just be from a reduction. Good luck.
Very nice take on the challenge. I think that the ever slightest more fill on this side of the model would make this pop even more. Not actual lighting, but more like a touch of bounce light from the window back to the model. I'm a little put off by the lack of detail in the face. I don't know if your model didn't want to be recognized or if this was an artistic choice. Either way I think the slightest amount of fill would not change your goal but would help greatly with the shot.

I really like this image....the model looks a little uncomfortable... maybe cropping just a touch higher and cropping out some of the window on the right so that the model is not so centered might make it seem a little more natural. Great capture though.
Great juxtaposition of definition on the model and sillouette. I like it. Some of the edges seem a bit pixelated though. Is this post-processing artifact? 8.
the pose is wonderful and the back light works well. I do think this image would have worked better in portrait orientation than landscape. The extra speac to the right of the model doesn't do much for me.
This is beautifully done, creative, nice pose, good lighting, maybe too hot on the center portion of the curtain but as I know its hard to control sunlight if you dont have the proper equipment.
