unfortunately if a picture isn't really well in focus and sharp (or soft for a reason) DPC voters will destroy it no matter how good lighting, composition, subject, or anything else is
Hi Hannah,
Is this a self-portrait? I do like what you have done with the lighting here - especially how the shadows curve around the arms and emphasise the ribs. Nice and soft, and an excellent angle. The pose seems to have met with mixed reactions - it that sense it has been effective in elliciting a response. I'm not sure what pp steps you went thought, but do agree with a number of commentors that it seems as it some detail has been lost.
this could be an awesome artsy photo, but I miss sharpness and it seems like you messed up a bit in post processing. the skin isn't "smooth" anymore (don't know how to say it different)
Nice capture but I feel this particular image may benefit from a "darker mood". A black background would help but I would not change the lighting a bit. Good job on lighting, focus seems a little soft.
