I won't even get into how hard it is to be your own model for a shot like this one. *small grin* I had a lot of fun and I believe I caught the essence of the shot. Orange always makes me think of a kind of vibrant sensuality.

To me, this isn't an appealing shot...it lacks something. I find that my eyes go back and forth between the red clothing and the yellow one and does not draw me in.
Lighting is too harsh. Not sure what the subject is nor do I understand what the mess of color on her tummy is suppose to represent. The cropping work is good, though, and I think this person posed in the same manner without the confusing orange/yellow gunk would make for a good composition, though not necessarily for this challenge. The rug/blanket underneath the person is distracting.
Funny idea, but not too well executed. (Get rid of the flash, it destroyes too many shots.... ) I like your composition. Keep on doing theese kinds of photographing. You've really got "something" !
This is not sexy, not good/attractive to look at. The yellow top is too pale on her fair skin better if it was not seen. I think it might of been a good idea at the get go..............but it ended in a mess. The bed/carpet is busy....there is no _one_ focal point here. What is the intention?? This girl has skin to die for...and a knock out figure....use it for better photos, I know you can do it!!

The lighting seems a bit harsh here. I think the background fabric is distracting too. I might have also tried to photograph from a more seductive angle.
This has got to be the most creative "between red and yellow" concepts in the challenge. The red underwear and yellow top is perfect and the positioning of your model between the purple background thingys (That is a technical photography term) adds to it. And it has great sex appeal. What more could we ask for?
