Taken outdoors in dim light. contrast and shadows added in

Photoshop. Model was balancing on rocks while bathing in a stream.

I love the motion! Sadly, you will probably find much opposition to a "blurry" photo here. But the dynamic is great. I wish the hilights were a little brighter, and maybe the blacks a little less dense- you've got a great, stark image, but I feel like I'm missing out on additional content. Anyway, very nice.

Best of your "nudes." This is very evocative.

Not fan of blurred images with little apparent purpose.

 

Interesting that you think comments are not always subjective :-)

Not a fan of vague critiques with little apparent purpose other than to state a very subjective opinion in a nasty way.

Actually, I think that critiques can be, at least somewhat, objective. This means putting aside one's personal opinions regarding the subject matter and critiquing the photo for what it is...a photo. For example, if you don't like portraits of men, photos that involve motion, etc, then it is necessary to get past that to give a helpful critique. Are you just trying to say that the blur is a little too much, or that the story in this picture is far too vague? If so, then these are points that would be of benefit for me to think about in future shoots. Pardon the abruptness of my last comment; maybe you weren't really trying to be mean.

Art for art's sake, now there's a concept! Another beautiful shot Jenny. I didn't realise the Little Black Dress was yours too. Again this image has a lovely mood to it. There's an early 20th century feel, and the blur and shadow give a floating, dreamlike quality. Lovely composition with an arc curving from bottom left to top right.

I had wondered about more luminscence to the highlights, but that may draw the figure out from the shadows a little too much. As is, he melts beautifully into the background. Another one I would hang on my wall. Well done.
