this one, like most of my work, was shot in my tent studio. comments welcome --

especially from those who give ratings of "3".

Wow the skin tones are amazing! This reminds me of a Still life of peppers or something Weston like! Beautiful!

Very orginal work - geometry of a body - wonderfuly composed.

I like the idea--an abstraction of a Rubenesque female body--but your artistic intent is betrayed by a want of craft.

 

For instance, remove the giant blob of black crap 2/3 up the photo above her navel (you wouldn't go to work with mustard on your shirt, why post an image that is supposed to represent what you're capable of without doing at least some cleaning!); crop or clone out the hot-burned right upper corner; go a bit easier with the smoothing/smudging all over and do it by manipulating depth of field in-camera instead. You'll then have more leeway to diffuse a bit more in post-processing without it looking so artificial.

First of all, I like this image a lot. I think it's well thought out and creative and I find it kinda pretty. Secondly, regardless of the merit (and it did have merit) of Michael Sebastian's above criticism of this image I like the author's frankness and honesty.
