One of only two tens in the Nude III challenge for me (or was it three?) I'm revisiting and surprised to see you down at 24th.
What I most like about this shot is how it captures the real person. The freckles, skin tones, etc. are very well lit and exposed to my eye. It all seems much more natural/realistic than DPC voters at large seem to go for. Too much googling at fashion/glamour magazines maybe.
The pose is excellent too. As for "watch the tan lines -- nah -- it ads to this shot IMO.
Very nice shot. I hate to be picky, but the eyelashes are distracting. Everything else is soft and pretty, but they look phony, especially for bedtime.
I don't feel comfortable commenting on this one because I saw your outakes and feel, personally, that you lost the anonymity required for an unbiased vote.
Is the model supposed to look like a sleeping angel? If that's what you were going for it worked out cause that's what I see. I really like her hair too. 7.
I likely will steal this pose in the future. I love the lighting, and the pose.
I don't like the hair much, but the exposure captures it quite well. In the future, watch the tanlines a bit, and be careful not to loose the freckles. Makes the model look less real.
Nice composition and lighting. I like the tones and and tonal range. I wonder if a crop with less foreground might make the photo zing. Overall a very good job.
This doesn't look like a very natural pose... maybe if the model was facing more toward the camera it might appear more natural. Otherwise, the lighting is great. The lines in the sheet in the foreground also detract from the overall image.
My attention is really drawnto her fake eyelashes. The vest of the image is soft and demure and for me the harsh black density of the lashes ruin this illusion. Sometimews the tiniest detail can impact the image greatly.
The eyelashes are a real distraction for me. I think the fabric, had it been solid and not patterned would have showcased her hair and features a bit better. I hope you find this helpful.
