I'm with those that thought this was pretty good actually (and even as a female, you know, not really my kind of subject...)
It was a good play on the word industrial, I guess some didn't really follow that. The model is nice, the pose is good, I like the expression on her face, I like the setting a lot. Criticisms include it being a tiny smidge overexposed on her ass and thighs, and I would have removed the black thing hanging down (ribbon? whip? I can't really tell what it is.)
Good effort, don't let people on this site get you down. I hope you continue to enter challenges.
good lighting, good focus, good subject choice. :)
some people just don't know what they are talking about. congrats on a getting such a low score with such a fine image. always something to be said for that...taking a risk and all...
Definitly a great erotic/fetish/fashion shot, the lighting is great, the composition is not bad at all, a little more pop would have been better, that is unless you were going for that soft look.
Even though this is a great portrait, it's definitly, unfortuantly not DPC sytle. I wish I had voted, you would have gotten an 8 from me.
Rarely does an image like this make it close to the ribbon area, Poor lighting, poor focus, and poor subject choice. Perhaps browse through challeng archives and see what has won in the past. May get the imagination working in a more positive direction.
