I have been sitting at about a 6.9 all week. I am quite surprised that a nude has done so well in a free study. I expect some low votes, however, I did not expect the score to be in the high 6's. I was secretly hoping for 6.3.
Thank you to those that have commented. I appreicate it very much. And techo your comment made my day.
Dropped one whole tenth at rollover. Still tickled it did so well.

I'm curious about why most of the comments you have received have not been marked as helpful, yet you specifically say that they are. Just wondering...
Big congrats on Top Ten! It's a beautiful image.
In all honesty....I always forget to mark them. Thanks for the reminder.

I found this photo on 1x.com. I found it prior to this competition. 1x.com posts the photographer's name. Of course anyone seeing it can immediately know who shot the photo and vote accordingly. This is another example of why I did not vote in this competition. I think this is an awesome photo, but I feel it is unfair from a competitive standpoint to allow photos to be entered that have been used in competition here before, or posted on other sites. Just my two cents.
So extremely well shot and posed for. It's all about the lines and shapes. A very tastefully shot nude. There is this slight feeling like the model is hovering in space, not a bad thing at all, especially in this case. It's an interesting element which doesn't detract at all. The lighting is wonderful as is the low sat toning. I expect to see this in the top5. Good luck! :)
That's the most amazing looking model... I love the muscle definition and the depth of colors in the hair. I also really like the contrast and the pose - great job!
Beauty and grace combined in a very effective image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it has significant impact being richly colored with excellant detail. This image would have worked as a black and white as well. A perfect demonstration of the power of properly controlled light and focus. Well done.
