The model's name is Natalie. I am currently taking classes at International Center of Photography. Right now I'm taking "The Body In Motion" Natalie's full-time job is a professional dancer. She is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous in motion. I like this photo a lot... amazing how this girl could contort herself. Stunning, and awesome! Hope you like the photo :-) Some of the contrasts that I see here, are the roundness of the upper body and the squareness of the lower, plus the darkness of her leotard against the pure white background, also the shadows in the body, and lack of at the top. I hope people get these less obvious contrasts... at the last minute I've decided to enter it in Black and White... hopefully it will do will!

That makes my toes hurt. Nice contrast between the arms and legs, and well balanced, too. Focus seems a bit soft to me, though it may just be me, I can't tell.
the way she portrays the opposite directions is just classic. maybe a tiny bit more squared off and symmetrical would have boosted this to the level of perfection. still, a great interpretation of this challenge.
I like your contrast "concept" - both the circle/square and the light/dark. I would have expected it to be a little more "high key", but all in all it works well in it's simplicity. Lovely shot.
This woman is in great shape and the pose selected represents contrast nicely, that coupled with the b/w treatment give this image a top score! Nicely done! 10 -danny
Excellent shot, in my top 5. Very good use of a neutral background focusing the viewer on what's important. I would suggest however that as you appear to be showing symmetry that the positioning of the model is slightly skewed. Also the legs appear slightly softer than the rest of the body. Very good submission.
Well, what i think is amazing about your shot is that this woman can stand like that. Is she related to that little girl in the round challenge that could roll herself into a backwards circle?? (just kidding they look nothing alike).
This is such an unusual interpretation of the challenge. Very nicely executed. The framing is just a TAD off center, but other than that I think it is very artistic. I can't give you a vote I'm afraid, but I'd have given you a 10 for sure.
Wow, that's amazing how she can stand like that on her toes. Two flaws: 1) Her right hand the index finger isn't lined up. 2) Overall the pic seems a little dark. Great composition and background however. Fits challenge well also.
