Hehehehe...I had heaps of fun with these shots...as they are just testers for something I have in mind in the future. I know I have used myself as a model for many of my shots but until I get the settings right for this area of photography then I will just have to keep going.

Camera Work/Technical: Excellent! Great focus and a really nice IR toned capture. I would like to see a touch more contrast and maybe some selective coloring with the panties, hair, and nipples. I think with just a touch of color in those areas, this image would have gained some amazing pop.
Lighting: The lighting is just a little harsh, but you did a fantastic job no losing detail in the bright areas. The highlight on your head competes with your face and body's features for the eye's attention.
Composition/Content: Wonderful composition and great content. You positioning and cropping work well together to make an image that allows the viewer to get into and become a part of. The disappearing shadow also does a fantastic job and pulling the eye through the frame.
My Opinion: I usually like nudes, and this is no exception. You do a fantastic job capturing yourself, and this is my favorite of you so far. I think with a touch more contrast and a little selective coloring using layer masks, this would have been a top 10. Great work, and I look forward to seeing the idea you are working on for the future.
Well she was just seventeen
You know what I mean
And the way she looked
Was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another,
Oh, when I saw her standing there
I think the nudity was unnecessary in this shot and perhaps took away from the idea. Even a similar pose but clothed would have been a nice picture, I just don't see what the nudity added here.... Just my opinion. Other than that I like the lighting, color, etc.
