Just a thought... Maybe the model playing the instrument would have made a more beautiful shot. I do like this composition it is unique to the challenge.
the lines of her body seem to match the lines of the cello (if that is the right instrument). Given that, I wish her hips were not askew but actually mirrored the shape of the instrument since repetition can be very powerful and beautiful. I also would have liked it if some of her body were in shadow like the instrument for more mimicking.
Nice take on something that has been done before. I don't care for the selective desaturation, however, as it evokes a rather cold feeling where there should be warmth. Also, I think it would have been nicer if the model's hair weren't unkempt.
Very nice photo, and one of my favourites this challenge. My wife plays the cello, so I have a particular affinity for this one. Nice idea to selectively desaturate, and the result works well if a little unflattering to her skin tone. Her pose is relaxed and her body shape and size complements the cello perfectly. Great lighting, and good composition.
Nice idea, but I don't see why you have used selective desaturation here. There is a lot of potential here with the nude and instrumnet, I think a re pose coudl be better.
Nice shot- nice idea nice title- perhaps the red is a bit strong and the lighting is not dramaticenough- but I assure you- these are but small criticisms.
beutifull model.
Shadows form the model on the "violoncelle" are a bit destracting, might try haveing the light on the left side instead of the right.
Bit tightly croped.
this idea has been used so much - and why is the foot under the buttock visible, very distracting - the loghting is very nice and so are the colours - just find a NEW theme
