I didn´t vote on this challenge because i´ve had alot to do the last days but i´ve know this would have bin one of my fav.
The skin tone is perfect and the angel from both side is really nice.
I dont understand why some people didn´t gave it more time but than again.
I´m expirensing something like that with my hope pic.
(Not nearly as good and professonal as this one but people are commentig against things that i did for a reason, not seeing my point)
Congrats with the 9th place

love this my top pick for the challenge
but as someone else has posted I would love to see the same shot done in high key... heaven is suppose to be a light and airy place
with the wings and blonde hair and nice skin this would be a stunning high key shot
...please talk your model into a re-shoot please
Thank you for your comments, especially those who took the time to look a little longer at this image and understood what I was portraying.
This image depicts an unhappy angel who is sad because she is putting on weight, which of course she is not. The story here is that even angels are human and possess human characteristics.
Those who didn't understand it, it wasn't that difficult really, but I would recommend you spending a little more time studying a photo and asking yourself what is the meaning here, or what is the photographer saying through this photograph. And some comments were saying the wings are out of place. Angels do have wings!
I'm rather mixed about the angel wings here. I'm inclined to think that the angel's wings on a nude thing is kinda cheesy, but they do give the shot a bit more character and uniqueness. Either way, the execution is excellent. It's interesting that the skin color is a little different in the foreground than in the reflection.
Great image, my only complaint would be that it appears to be slightly overdone in something like neatimage. Just seem to loose a little defintion in the hair.... it looks a little smudged or something.... also it's a little blown out in the hair and the wings in the foreground image, other than that it is certainly a great image. Well done!
Good Luck, Todd.
A nice, inventive shot which has been well posed by your model. It's ever-so-slightly overexposed for my taste, especially the burnt out highlights on her hair. Other than that, this is well lit, and I like the way the body merges with shadow in her reflection.
Looks like your beautiful angel model is saying: "Heaven's kitchen is too good, I should loose weight from the weist." :-) Lighting is superb and I also love the colour tones! The angle and composition you have chosen for the photo is also amazing! It lets me see two dimension, one in real life and one in the mirror. Good luck! :-)
Very nice pose and composition - I like the way the vagina is just out of sight - with it may have cheapened it somewhat. The lighting is OK -I would prefer more shadows casting across for some definition, but that's just me.
Great job! Idea, model, and composition are awesome. I think that this photo would look good on a higher key white background too, because of the theme you have chosen. She looks like she could be Jessica Simpson's sister ...
The lighting and what seems to be a sepia tone work well for this shot. Your models expression tells me even angels have moments of doubt. Your Angel needs not though.;) a good looking Lady in a good looking shot. Good Luck!
Maybe the crop could be a bit wider on the top and right, or a bit tighter, this is a bit in between. Good idea, nice lighting and the model does a good job (expression on her face is fitting the pose). Great job.
I really like this one. The mirror is a very good idea- the skin tone is very nice, there is a silky, stockingy feels. I really like the wings, they add a great touch. My only problem is her expression- it makes her look kinda mad but otherwise this is awesome!
Just the woman critically examining her excellent figure for flaws would've been a powerful photo. I find the angel wings an unnecessary distraction, and not relevant to the message (as I perceive it). I love the composition of the photo. Nice lighting, with the exception of the overexposed wings. Nice entry, good luck!
