Hey, I just came across an identical pose in a photo by Lev Dolgachov. It's on the sixth page of his portfolio. So which one of you got the idea first? Either way, very well done!
Oh, I claim no originality with this photo. Clear copy of a cliche photo. Just amazed I could pull it off.

Well, what is there to say about a 6.5 13th place shot:)
On the positive side, I would say that it was a very good idea and very bold considering DPC generally dislikes nudes. I mean 9 votes of 3 and under is too many but not bad for a nude. I like the composition allot.
The only thing that prevented me from voting higher was the look on her skin and the shoe. I see now that the shadows/highlights is the reason for the look. Without seeing the original I have no way of knowing if it was necessary.
Either way it is a great shot. congrats on the nice finish.
Fantastic shot! I have been away and unable to participate and vote in challenges but if I were around I would have given it an 8 or 9. Why not 10? I partially agree with the comments that noted that it would have been better to highlight the shoe but at the same time I understand why you chose to focus on the string (can't tell if it is a thong or merely string :) My recommendation would have been to take off the shoes entirely and run the string through her toes. First, because me sense is that the shoes are not exactly the same color as the string and to highlight the shoe also would have detracted from the image. Second, I really like the contrast of the wonderful black & white of the skin against the string. All that being said, it is still a wonderful image.
It's a good thing I joined DPC to learn about photography.
I thought that this pic was the best in the challenge and would win the first place. turns out I was wrong and have a lot to learn.
Oooh Jeez! This really oozes appeal of all sorts! I absolutely love the pose the desat, the lighting, in fact I think it's flawless, very well captured. Without a doubt my highest scorer, in fact one of my very rare 10s, you must win or at least ribbon with this. Good luck
Very creative and striking use of the selective desat. The skin tones seem a little odd, though... kind of like there's too much shadow, or too much contrast. I'm not sure, it just seems a bit off to me.
Not very original (have been done a lot of times - here and elsewhere) - but you've done a good job in your postprocessing. And I like that you only kept the panties saturated and not the shoes as I believe most people would have done. 7 for now...
