Classic fine art nude, minimal post - black clipping, SilverEFX B&W conversion.
POST
My thanks to everyone who commented on this image. Contrary to popular perception this was one of those perfect moments when everything just came together. RAW conversion with black clipping adjustment, NIK Silver EFX for B&W, no skin smoothing at all.
Lighting was by means of a large striplight behind her as she lay on a black velvet cloth.
Tina was a beautiful model and needed only to be portrayed as best as I could for that beauty to shine through.
For the T & A brigade who gave me a score of under 4 - up yours!

Marvelous light and shapes of human landscapes. I particularly like the valley of her neck and shoulders, her looking expression gives it such lifewell done
Fantastic lighting and great exposure. Glad you kept some texture in the skin and didnt soften it too much. Face is beautifully sharp without being unflattering.
Don't usually care much for nudes. Just not a genre that interests me. However, I think the lighting on this is simply gorgeouse, and the lines are quite striking. -9-
I had to watch for a while to make sure I don't vote just on the model... Fantastic balance of light/shadows and contours. I guess it's the first time I give a 10 for a pure human subject.
Man, I love boobies, and these boobies are great! And if I could just get past looking at those boobies, I'd notice a photo that accentuates the really great lines and soft gradients. Black and white was a good choice.
Beautiful image. I'm sure you are probably being hammered by the ol' T&A Police, but it's lit so beautifuly and so gorgeously composed that I hope it'll overcome that
Lovely lighting and processing. I can’t help getting a feeling with the way you have captured her eye and mouth combination that she appears dead. I know that is just the way I’m interpreting this but it actually adds even more interest to the whole image for me. Overall, very well done.
Very pretty image, the lighting is perfect. It's nice to see a bodyscape-esque image with a face in view. Brilliant focus, nice and sharp. Good luck with this, faving!
