My photography club had an Art Nude evening, I drew the last lot and time was short by then. I had a window of 6 minutes to get this shot. Pretty happy with the result; it was quite a good exercise to have a shot in my head and a very limited time to get it.
(Wish it wasn't Basic editing though the highlight on her ribs bothered me and I wish I'd could have selectively suppressed it).

To be honest, some of the commenting bothered me a little. Of course she was comfortable.
Over 18? Again, of course she is - 26 actually.

I really like this, I think her wrist/hand movement gives it a twist from the rest of the golden soft look. Not sure why people think she looks under 18 though.
I tend to view nudes in challenges such as this as a shameless way to get a few more votes, but I actually loved this photo and feel on the contrary it should have scored higher. Very tastefully done and the lighting and cropping is just perfect. Probably my favourite photo of the challenge.
Crop near the hands is a great touch. While I've never taken a nude, when cropping other images, I'm usually scared I'm going "trap" them in ! Very nice work and use of gold.
I like where you were headed. The gold fabric should cover both breasts, at least the nipples, and the other should be lower to cover as well. Your lighting is pretty nice. May wanna soften the hand above her head or maybe put something in it giving it a purpose. Just my thoughts
