I havent done a nude in a while so this was fun. Predicting lots of 1s, 2s and 3s :-)
The setup was a white bed sheet on the floor with the camera attached to a beam held up by two chairs about 4 feet off the floor. The shot was taken with my tokina 12-24mm at 12mm, what would i do without that wideangle!

Critique Club Review:
Nice tight composition. Taking the background to white works well. However, there are a couple of spots on the model (just below the left hand and midthigh on the right leg, where the detail has burned out. Great depth of field, and except for the two small areas mentioned, very good tonal control. Nudes are always risky in a challenge. Should have scored higher.
His feet . . . for someone who is asleep his feet are too tense, it throws the whole image off for me. Besides that I like it, especially because you used a man for the image. I don't think I would've liked it as much had you used a woman.
sorry, but this just doesn't get it for me. as an image, it's all right, as a challenge entry, it doesn't really grab me, either. might make for an interesting series of prints, though.
This is a really great shot, great lighting and contrast. My only complaint(in the comment, not the score) is that is awfully birght for the 4-5 a.m feel.
Even a college student could afford a blanket. Nice job. I'm not a fan of this sort of pic, but you are good at it, no denying, and the people eat it up. Just looking at the thumbnails, I can confidently say congratulations on another ribbon, Nico. :)
...I will be so emabrassed if I am wrong about whose this is, but I can always come back and edit it - like it never even happened. ;-) Now the question is do you know who has left you such a verbose, sarcastic, probably-not-helpful comment? heehee.
