Nude in window light

I tried to balance the bright window with the light it cast and model. Not

sure if there is too much inconsequential material on the left.

You did a great job (again!) i think, everything in the perfect amount and place (light, color, body, shadows). Into my favorites Jack!

Excellent as is, you could crop a bit from the left, it wouldn't make a great deal of difference.  The light rays, composition, the skin tone perfect!

Very very nice! Ciao Gianni

fantastic composition + light, congrats !!!!!

An interesting effect of dark and light and shadow, Jack. I do wonder whether I would have let the drape hang by one hand and shown the model full length as that would have given more weight to offset the power of the window. Intriguing study this.

I do believe that the window light is special and this would make an excellent image even without the Nude.  However it's inclusion takes it to yet another level!  Excellent!

The nude form with its alluring sculptural shadows of flesh and bone, gives the picture its haunting quality. So much dark and a sensual display- to match the sunlight. Better than more than 90% of nudes for originality. That chiaroscura contrast is what delivers the goods, Jack.

 

Really a wonderful...Caravaggio style!!!

If anyone's not sure what is meant by the term 'tasteful art nude' take a look at this as an example. 

This is wonderful image.....the pose and light are exceptional

A truly artistic nude. Your use of available light is masterful.

Alike so many other works in the portfolio, the central figure to the theme is perfectly balanced with the surroundings not only int terms of composition, but also in that of light, colour and contrast, thus ensuring the impact of the result. Th is is no east feat, especially with a live model, and it takes and it requires a great deal of knowledge mixed with intuition and good taste.
