Very interesting, and perhaps more a portrait than a nude. Yes, it reveals something of the subject, but more an attitude or lifestyle than just how light falls on body parts. It has... a certain je ne sais quoi, revelaton and mystery together.
Now that's interesting lighting! But it would have been a much more powerful photo as a true nude, without the swimtrunks (with the water ripples, it could still have been PG).
unique image. the reflection inthe glasses doesn't work for me - it's too bright against the shadowed face (maybe it was intentional - if so, that wouldn't have been my choice). I like the high contrast and the blown out part where the light hits...it works well with the negative space on the right.
Fantastic use of single light source, adding strong focus on the eye. Lovely composition. Unfortunately, I don't feel this image fits in the nude challenge... Nice effort though. 5
I like this image, but I'm not sure how well it suits (no pun intended) the nude challenge. The harsh lighting is very effective as is the mysterious single eyed reflection.
Did you remove the lens from the right side of the glasses? What a great idea this is... Really enhances the "dark to light" effect of the face shot. Great job!
