A lovely nude study with great use of light and untold attention to the important detail required in body, head and hand placement. DPC voters are usually do not favor nudes unless the challenge is nudes. Rest assured that your talent is very well recognized and admired. A highly underrated study.
You did an excellent job with the lighting and focus. The use of shadows to hide the face makes the photo fit the challenge nicely. I think my only problem is that, even though it’s an excellent photo of a naked woman, it doesn’t seem to convey much emotion. I bet it scores well though. :D
Exquisite image. The lighting and pose is very good. I think I might have perferred the model look away from the camera since her face is not what is being lit.
Gary? Anastasia? This must be a shot from your excessive session you did recently ;) Remebered the model by her remarkable mouth. Yes, I see some parts of her face. Maybe that's just my monitor calibration. Anyway I don't yell "DNMC". I think it fits quite well and I love your shot: the lighting is outstanding, the high contrast adds depth to the photo. The atmosphere is intimate but a bit scary too (cause her face is so dark). You did an awesome job here. Can't wait to see further shots out of this session. Keep it up!
Very nicely done... I like the toning here and the simplicity of it all. My only minor gripe is that you can kinda make out her face. That's the only thing that keeps this from being a 10 for me.
The technicals look fabulous on this photo, and the image is nice. However I don't think it fully comes across. The image seems to lack emotion, and for some reason I have a pre-fab or (staged) taste in my mouth. Certainly above par don't get me wrong, and I adore this photo, I'm just trying to make a helpful comment. GL
This is very well done. Tasteful, beautiful lighting. I think you did a great job. I hope this is doing well. It seems dpc voters tend to vote nudes a little harshly unless its a nude challenge -- but I hope that's not the case here. You did a great job.
