"Nude Beauty" is a good entry into the Nude IV challenge, l like it because it is something different. I am really impressed how creative everyone was during this challenge.
I think it is very interesting that you commented that you had taken this shot at night. I am just wondering if maybe you stated that because you would have shot it differently during the day. I really like the shape that has been created in this shot, the lines draw you in towards the center. The focus looks like maybe you were focusing more on the elbows, I think even if you used a shallow depth of field and focus on the glass it might have drawn in more voters. I like the glow that was created by the light, it feels like it is the lines are moving us into the shot. The over framing of the subject is very good, it doesn't feel over cropped.
The focus on the fingers, hair and wineglass seems very soft. I think your DOF was simply too shallow because the focus on the elbows seems pretty sharp.
I don't think I understand this shot. The lighting doesn't look quite right. On the top right, around the elbow there is either some bad editing or the background isn't covering the whole area the model took up. Also, for me, I would like to see the whole of the model in focus, as it is I am struggling to find a point of focus (just my humble opinion)
Needs to be much sharper, and it looks like parts (namely the right elbow) were cropped or something in photoshop poorly. If that's not the case, something is giving it that effect. The lighting could also be much better, and the glass should be more visible if that's what you're going for.
I don't like the straight on lighting here. the white finger nails also don't work for me. More side lighting to bring out more shadows and details would work much better.
You've lost the right elbow, the fingernails seem an odd colour, and the glass is lost against the hair. Bu tth eactual idea is nice and straightforward.
