My thoughts on the image: This one nicely fits into the challenge, and I love the detail you captured on the skin. My mind can almost feel the smoothness and warmth that is surely contained there. I do not, however, like the plastic animals. This isn't to say that I don't like the idea. I like the penguins that Magnus used in his presentation, and Allan Teger's work is both amazing and inspiring to me. He really is brilliant in his imagination and ideas.
My ideas for improvement: I'd like to have seen this one presented with more of an Alan Teger style and a better choice of toy animals. I also think that a monochrome presentation would have served this one better than color.
Where I would have/did score this entry: I didn't vote in the nude challenge this round as I have spent far too much time at work lately. With that in mind, I would have most likely agreed with the voters. As you have presented the image here, I would have given it a 4 or 5. With more attention to the animals and monochrome post-processing, I think this one would have pulled a better score.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric
I have to say I love the lighting. The lighing here is great. The skin looks great. I love how you can see the goosebumps on the butt. And it could have been an amazing shot. It's just a litte weird and disturbing.
Hehe, pretty clever, I like it. Perhaps if the backround was a piece of paper with a gradient from yellow to orange, it would have looked more like a natural sunset scene.
I like the texture in your model's skin.. she must have been pretty chilly, you should have warmed the rocks first! (lol) An interesting take on the challenge and I gave you an extra point for creativity.
I looked at the wolf. I looked at the sheep. I looked at the rocks. And then I thought "Did they even know what the challenge topic was???" and as I was about to click the 2, I noticed something. :)
