Taken at the beach of the beatiful peninsula Kamenjak in Croatia. I believe the nudity is in good taste and hope it won't be considered offensive. I really like this image, and I cursed myself because this one was the only one taken with 5.6 aperture, others were all higher. But luckily only the frontmost part is a bit OOF.
Edit: crop, auto contrast, topaz adjust (i think it was Clarity preset) - it brought out details in the water nicely, resize, usm 0.2px/300%, fade to 30% using soft light mode, border, sfw.
Whoa, how lucky am I? just saw that there is a separate open challenge Nude V going on, when I almost closed the computer after submitting this one to the Deep DOF! *pinch* am I dreaming? of course, I'm going to submit here!
And the head is not photoshopped out of the reflected image, it's just a weird kind of reflection...

While I understand the considerations about posting nude photographs online, it's also little awkward to have a headless reflection, whether it was intentionally removed or by a strange situation of lighting. Doesn't work for me, sorry. /5
I like how even though her head is out of frame at top, one can see it in her full shadow. Beautiful reflection; pushes the boundaries of the no-genitalia rule. I'm also intrigued by her "missing" head in the water. It makes for a nice balance thematically and visually.
BFC: Creative shot, I'm drawn in by the juxtaposition of the landscape against the smoothness of the model. The rich golden tones are a perfect addition to the overall strength of this shot. I also applaud rour choice to use the reflection of the model which further adds to to creativity of the shot. Great work!
Interesting composition, a little disturbing how her head just disappears, but I understand why. Funny how the rock and skintones are all in the same narrow range. Nice.
A photo that has a few deeper layers than first appear. The reflection is like a statue bronzed, and one doesn't really notice the hint of more naturally toned legs unless one spends a little more time with the photo. Then, with a further study, you notice that the reflection has no head or face. An anonymity preserved, a mystery among the jagged rocks.
