 I pretty much immediately thought of a white towel. And wanted to incorporate a model. So, this is the pose I came up with. Whatcha think? I think white is equated with purity, and purity can be related to freshness. So that is my correlation to this subject matter. I am very fond of this composition as I had another pose and crop that came in very close second. Thanks for all the views and votes ahead of time.

Beautiful shot. I love the angle and her expression. The best shot I've seen in this challenge so far.

I like this photo a lot ie. model, her eye really jumps out of the photo, composition, soft skin tones.
The backgound isn't quite white enough ?

Teriffic, I really want to find something wrong with this. Ok, maybe the towel is blown out a little, but (explitive deleted)!

really like this one....though it looks like soft image was used strongly I think it gives a very "porcelain doll" effect which is nice in this case

Nice balance in terms of retaining detail in the skin and achieving a high-key tonal range but the blow out/ loss of detail along the edge of the towel is a shame. Strong composition and the lack of eye contact works to create an enigmatic mood.

Clever and imaginative. I'm a big fan of the "half face" type shot. I like her upswept glance too.
