very nice shadows, and the blanket adds nicely to the effect. minor gripes include the fact that you cropped out her foot on the edge there, and that the left side starts to go into a soft focus, which i'm not sure i like. if this shot were a little crisper and cropped a little better, it would have been even nicer than it is. good job, overall.
This is a nicely executed photo for sure... I like these shadows and how they highlight your model... There are two things that may improve this photo... First of all, allowing a little or all of her face to appear would be nice.. Secondly, this leapord skin comforter or what ever it is... I'm thinking that it makes this photo quite busy looking... another very minor and picky detail is that the shadows on yor model die at her foot.. not a big deal but it was just something that I noticed. I think I may have seen a similar shot on photosig this week... could be the same photographer and model maybe? I think you have some definite potential with this model... keep up the good work! I worked to a similar format this week and I hope to do more like it in the future... if you would like to share ideas sometime, let me know! Great shot... - jmsetzler
Her body is beautiful, and the shadows fall over her curves in a very sensual way. But her pose seems really fearful and closed up, and the sheets are distracting. I'd love to see her looking more relaxed and natural.
Normally nude is not in my top ten pick because they are seldom done well. The simple parallel striped shadows in contrast with the zebra/leopard busy black and white background turn this difficult subject into a striking photograph.
I wanted to do something with blinds on a body, too, but never got around to it. I like it, but IMO, a more plain bed cover would've highlighted the shadows not just on the female, but also on the bed. Also, reposition her a little if you try this shot again so that her foot is also 'striped'.
interesting...looks like she's wearing a sock because the shadow from the blinds suddenly ends. I'm confused as to what her body language is telling...a better pose would have improved the image for me. 6
I love nudes, but don't find this attractive to the model and I don't find it sexy or even pretty. HOWEVER.....this is about _shadows_ and you did catch them very well.
