We might have another winner here. I see a speck that shouldn't be there. Woops, that's just dust on my monitor. All that gorgeous black shows that I need to clean my monitor. Fantastic job.
Here I do like the black background, unlike most other pictures I see in this challenge. Here it works because the body is also black, leaving the contours of light to paint the lady.
I like the way the highlights define the shape rather than any actual detail in the nude herself. However with such low light, I find the head area and the hair a little confusing and not as clean and smooth as the rest. 7, Kavey
Nice job! At first, I thought this was black and white, but closer view shows her red hair. Nicely coy pose with great shadows. Not understanding the negative space, but I'm not grading on the challenge this week, so it's O.K. 9 Swash
When I look at this photo it basically says "lithe". It's very sexy and atmospheric, and DEFINITELY a great use of negative space to define those curves. Very beautiful.
Very nice. Just the right amount of light. You shows you a glimpse of the body without showing too much and becoming just another glamour shot. 9-Martin
very tasteful and pleasing image - love the almost abstract quality. Excellent interplay of contrasting b & w with a hint of red. I actually think the thumbnail version is appealing in its own right because it is even more abstract - almost like a pen and inksketch, whereas the discernible detail in the full-size image creates a very different effect.
Very nice... The lighting is working very well here... I think your model's red hair is a nice touch, but i would also love to see this one in black and white... good job = 10 - jmsetzler
Hmmmmmm........looks familiar.....Is this the same model from Forbidden Fruit? Beautiful!! I think I see another nude first place coming up. =10 syamjonimi
Wonderful image of a nude. The lighting is remarkable. I shoot mostly nudes too and I really appreciate a great image such as this. Tons of meaningful negative space as well.
this is beautifully balanced shot. and great use of negative space to create the "wow" in this image. the composition works well here... however, when i look at this i think it may have worked even better as a 427x640 image.

first of all, congrats for trying something different. we need more of this on this site. i love erotic photography and i know how hard it is to do it right. that said, great job. i would be more careful with her face, though. the hair is a bit messy too. see u next time. :)
ok, so we are going to see a nude on the front page 2 weeks running? what is this site coming to?! j/k. this photo is absolutely stunning and leaves everyone in the dust. perfect use of negative space, and perfect execution (revealing just the right amount of detail), plus beautiful model. -- gr8photos (10)
Great shot; the only thing that keeps it from being perfect for me is that I would have preferred to see her "head to toe". That being said, I realize that the distance created by doing that may not have given the shot as much impact. lhall-9
