Taken today, no cropping. Just a bit of color adjustments.
Postchallenge: thanks for your comments this was really a last minute submission as you can see. Next nude challenge I will do better, a promise to myself atleast.

While I feel this is an image shoe-horned in, I also feel it's a very great PJ shot. The detail in the henna painting is wonderful, and the artist did a great job on it as well.
If you'd cropped in a bit tighter on just the hand and the image, and eliminated the slight glare on the henna itself, it may have improved your overall score, and decrease the "shoe horn" feeling of the shot
The background in this shot is very busy with a mishmosh of colors. This seems less of a nude and more of an editorial shot on what was offered at the local fair.
The background is a little distracting, and I feel like this shot doesn't fit the challenge very well. Seeing the upper right side of a guy's back doesn't say "nude" to me.
