I don't actually see a nude form here - I simply feel a nude form - it has that sense to it, even without knowing it was in a "nude" challenge. More of an elemental thing, really. Works for me. Keep doing whatever it is you do - works more often than not.
p.s. Love the magic flowers bit from Steve. :-)
That's the best kind of abstract, IMO. The shapes look like what they are supposed to be, but at the same time they aren't what they appear to be.
I would love to see a shot of this shot from a different angle that revealed what you were shooting (the same applies to most all of your work). You have a great eye for shape, texture, and color.

This is probably the most interesting entry to look at in the competition. Don't get me wrong, some of the other entries are beautiful and have more of a 'wow' [or a 'phwoar'] to them, but this certainly provokes a different reaction - as good abstracts do. I like it for that reason as well as the textures and colours.
If i could have voted in this challenge it would have scored highly, probably a 9 or 10.
Although I apreciate the pleasant composition and balance of shapes, textures and colors in this beautiful abstract I still fail to see the nude subject or even the visual clues that would hint to nudity. So, at the risk of looking like a complete idiot and art blind, would someone please point them out?
Andres, I'm sure other interpretations will vary greatly, this is mine:

No dpc-friendly (imo) but for this challenge it is the image I looked at longest - that alone counts for a lot. Abstract and interesting, serendipitous or intentional, this does very well in my book.
It took me a great deal of viewing before I saw the body. I love the feel of the image, and the sense of some sort of truly vast scale. A quite extraordinary piece of art that needs to be viewed again and again.
Sorry but I have never been a fan of abstract art and I don't have a clue on what I am looking at here, images like this just do not appeal to me personally, just thought I'd explain the low vote.
I enjoy abstracts and really like how you used the angular black border to define the image. The suggestion of a nude silhouette is intriguing but arguably a bit of a stretch in satisfying the challenge.
My mind is playing tricks on me. I see about three different images when looking at this, and I'm not sure any of them are what others see (at least not all of them).
