Beautiful. You and the work. The light is wonderful. The only thing I would mention is I can see the folds in the background on the right hand side behind you. Well done absolutely lovely.
I really like the sharp line on the top of your upper leg vs. the softer vertical shadow lines. Also, I'm not sure if it's your hair, maybe combined with the slight sepia tone, but it has cool old fashioned look to it. (and you have absolutely no need to feel nervous - the pic and the model are both very pleasing)
Beautiful, well done. It is so nerve-wracking uploading something like this of yourself but you look beautiful and its artistic. The lighting is fantastic and faced away from it the shadows play wonderfully.
This is really great! I just wish I could work out what that was in her hand. Your lighting placement, pose etc. are perfect. Model id stunning. Great B&W conversion.
I really like this shot. It has a very vintage feel to it. A classic beauty and wonderful lighting combined with the warm sepia tones make this one of my favorites.
I really like this image it has an ethereal feel to it, but that very same thing is what gave me pause to begin with..at first it felt too smooth (neat imaged maybe?)
I kept coming back to it and spending time really trying to discover why it appealed and or didnt. May I just say now (of course I may i'm the one typing afterall lol) that "Art" should make the viewer stop and question what it is they like or dont like, how it moves them, relatedness to our lives or not.. so many things and out of all the images in the challenge..that is what yours did for me. Bravo for that.
The pose is sincere, lighting is great. Would have liked to see the warmer tones brought into the back and head/face a bit more.
I love your direction here, and the tones you set. Actually the photo is a 10 without the distraction of whatever is in her hands. Its coming across way to dark (above her hands), and it really distracts from the otherwise amazing photo. I'm still giving it a 7, and suspecting you will finish in the upper half of the challenge.
Wow, what a beautiful model - both she and the pose you've selected put me in mind of Victorian portraits, not that nudes were quite as common then! Lovely lighting - the strong shadows are great. However they do hide what she's holding to the point that I think it would be stronger without her holding anything (or with sufficient light falling on it to make it relevant for inclusion).
Beautiful shot... one of my favorites in the challenge... the lighting is great... and the composition of the model is excellent! her look priceless! well done!
very nice. Gentle lighting and soft expression. won't be surprised to see this in the top ten. The toning is nice too...though I'd like it if it were more consistent.
(as an aside, if the inconsistent toning wasn't intentional, next time try dodging and burning before you convert it to duotone...then once you convert it will be more even.)
Normally i don't like noise reduction tools like neat image, but in this case it adds a silky texture to your skin, which is an asset to the photo.
I like this shot. It has a very 'antique' feel about it. My only questions would be on the lighting as her back ends up a different colour to her legs and feet, whilst the front is so dark that I cannot make out what she is holding. I don't know she actually needs to be holding anything - but if she is, then it should be clearer what it is. That said I still like the shot.
