OK, well I hope this does well. I wasn't giong to enter this challenge 'cause I don't really have models, all of my pics are self portraits for the most part and I felt uncomfortable about this but I decided why not. i probably took like 120 pictures in different positions, etc but then decided that having a little of clothing would make for a better picture- hopefully I won't get marked down f or it.
In the post-processing I made like three seperate layers. On one the pic was black and white and burned the hell out of it and defind all the muscles and edges. On another I had the color version and another I sepiaed it but on the color and sepia one I made them like 40% transparent so youl could get the definition to shine through.
I'm afriad that people are going to mark down because the torso isn't very defined, that it kinda runs into t he background or that I'm wearing jeans but whateva', I think it looks pretty cool and more delicate. I'm hoping for a personal best, like 5.6ish, just to get me out of my 4ish slump.

Really surprised this didn;t come higher (only just spotted the placing) as it was one of my favourites from the challenge. Love the crop, the curves, everything.
Jealous as hell that you can be your own model for a lovely shot like this *laugh*
Excellent photo that suffered from the lack of visible private parts for some people I guess. Just great as it is, no need for unbutton the pants, the button adds a lot as I mentioned before. I find it one of the best in this challenge and would have given it a ribbon if I could :-). Very underrated imo, shame! Congrats on your PB!
My original kneejerk reaction here was- not nude. :) But coming back and pondering it a bit, I'm drawn in to the subtle nature of the image. I like the toning and slightly high key look. The curve of the body creates a great leading line in the image. The more I look, the more I like. From a 5 to a 9. :)
This is such a great picture and I love the desaturation. It's just a little hot along the waist, but that's a minor flaw in a truly beautiful shot. Great job.
i like this shot because of the contrast of the jeans against the background and how her skin is so creamy it almost gets lost in the background. Very well done.
Very sexy and a nice curve. I really enjoy the feel of the soft light, I don't personally like the pants on, but that's just my opinion, I don't think it compromises your image. Great shot!
a classic, I remember something like this from advertisements (Levi's ?, with the button loose ?). Nice contrast between body and jeans, bit soft on the top right.
I like this shot a lot, I think it will be in top ten and should have a ribbon imo. Very good composition, great use of toning. Some people might say that they wanted to see more flesh, but imo the jeans add a lot to it, the large button especially.
I love this! I think the crop is perfect. It doesn't show too much and that leaves a bit of a mystery for the guys. Her great curves (mine are under there somewhere, I'm sure of it! haha) and the pink tint are great. Super job!
Very nicely done indeed, especially the crop at the top which in on the perfect place. Would like to also see the full model in this shot as well as I think that would also be a great shot.
I imagine a lot of people will mark you down for not being nude - but i think this is good enough at suggesting nude as it is.
I think it's too soft though, and too much attention to denim rather than that very pretty waist line. - there seems to be a lot of noise under the breasts which really isn't god.
nice color. crop is nice. unbutton the pants in a V shape next time for more dramatic effect and crop slightly higher to see more of the under cleavage (no need to see the nipples). cheers!
