A special thanks to my step-sister for allowing me to slather her in gold body paint, and to her boyfriend for being ever so patient and providing that golden touch.
Post editing: Curves, contrast, healing brish, skin-softening to make her look more statuesque, burned out part of the black backdrop that was illuminated more brightly than the rest.

I'll give you a ten just for getting the model to put all that junk in her hair. I'll bet it took forever to get clean! Very nice photo too. I like the lighting alot, but maybe the "touch" could be a little softer. jmo
a little blurry, which is a pity cause you obviously went through a lot of trouble...the lighting is also a little flat...sorry...I really wanted to be more positive
Finally a title that explains all this midas stuff. I don't know if its the gold paint or the brightness from the lights but it puts a very soft feel to the photo thats unwarrented. Subtle enough to almost be intentional. Well done and good luck in this challenge. <6>
very ambitious shot! the thought of doing something like this occured to me, but i didn't have the drive to get it together. congratulations and good luck!
this is very gorgeous, but the hand is totally superfluous - it just doesn't fit either in terms of composition or in stylistic terms - hate to say it, but it kind of undoes the fantastic work and obvious effort of getting your model just right. perhaps the hand doesn't look kingly enough, and the hand is too close to the bottom edge of the shot. it's still a great picture, but feel unbalaced. 8.
