I'm so sorry to see you were disqualified. You are right, there will be other challenges. You've got some fine work in your portfolio, so keep it up and you'll rise to the top again.

Very nice lighting on this, and I like the contrast between the smoothness of her skin and the rought texture on the log. You brought it out quite well. 9
Wonderful picture with an excellent lighting giving exactly to the subject the awaited result ... smooth, very smooth !! The chosen perspective produces a rich balance of the subject position in the frame, and the pose of the model is really elegant, giving even an impression of quiteness and wellness ! Congratulations ! In my T2.
Nice contrast between the rough wood and smooth skin. Arm in foreground is dark, and distracts from the shot. Post & composition is unusual, but am not sure it is pleasing.
I really like the contrast between her and the bark on the tree. Though I think a (implied) nude would have been even better because the lines of the underwear seem to break the flow, but all and all really nice photo, lighting and concept. 9
the contrast between bark and smooth skin took me a minute.
bringing the subject forward to focalize on the contrast between the back of the upper arm and the bark with two front lights in 5200k would be perfect to demonstrate your concept. good
Well done. The rough log is an excellent contrast to her smooth skin. That is a very sensual pose, too. Her eyes engaging the lens adds even more softness.
She's very silk smooth, I love the lighting in this.
Two issues. First, what's up with the tree? I really don't understand how the tree fits in. Second, I think it would be tons better if it was cropped about a cenimeter past her foot. It would deffinately give more of an illusion with the tree instead of having that dead space at the end.
