Well what can I say...it was freezing in Photoland that day, also rainy and foggy :)
Don't expect this one doing that well, mostly because of the shadows on the back. Sill, I feel obligated to send this in after that hard and cold shoot.
The lightning is simple, a single Bowens light with a softlite reflector.
Post process was B/W in RAW, curves and some USM. Was going for a dark and contrasty look.

I really like the lighting on this and the soft background. I may have turned her head a little more into the light to cut down on the harsh shadow of the nose. Beautiful model. Good luck.
Very nice. A beautiful image of a beautiful model. Composition is great and I like the lighting. Probably lots will say it looks unnatural, but I think it makes the person stand out against the darker background. Bumping up to 8
Nice candid shot. I particularly like the chill bump textures you captured on your models skin. Thank you for not smoothing those out, they really add to the image.
I really like the dof on this shot! Photos is very clear, I can see the goosebumps! Pose and lighting suggest seductiveness. I would suggest maybe lightening the eyes a tad and maybe burning the edges of the photos to draw the eye inwards more...overall a great photos, I rated it a qo! :)
Nice interesting composition. A bit overblown on the foearm where i feel that the skintones are lost. Good focus. It looks like a outdoor shot to me, if it is- maybe it would have been better without desat. Nice expression and the overall feel
I've come back to this several times. It's almost like you caught her unaware. She looks slightly surprised or not quite comfortable. I do love the focus, composition and light though.
Very nice composition. The stray hairs seem distracting (or maybe I'm just picky!) - I think maybe if the hair were completely wet and the expression slightly more natural, this could go from a "good" photo to a "great" photo.
Lovely pose. (And Model). It's REALLY tough to see that she's cold. I kinda see a goosebump texture in that middle area of shadow on her back, and arm, but it's not that detailed in this size. In a full size print. It's probably well defined though. THe ring on her middle finger is slightly distracting, but that's the only distraction.
top left quadrant is a flattering and interesting portrait. left hand ws distracting and could be placed differently as it appears a tad harsh, not in keeping with the rest
