rebirth

Beautiful pose and colours. Great use of lighting. In my opinion this needs a little crop from behind the model. Congrats.

Perhaps not the most original of poses but lovely nonetheles. I am not sure I like the subdued colours or not. Quite a fine image!

i agree with raymond

A very nice shot Nikolai... great skin tone and texture, and she has great eyes!

Regardless of state of dishabille, the face here carries the full emotion of the image.  And it is a state of mixed message.  There is an implied touch of modesty (because of the pose) but the face shows resentment, dislike, lack of trust, emotional reaction to something we do not know about.  Had it been titled something like "Uncertainty" I would give it the highest ratings.  But I do not understand "Rebirth" at all.  I see the concept of birth as an unfolding, entirely self contained occurance, not reactive to observers at all.

the image is lovely, but does in my opinion appear a bit "flat".   I am not crazy about the curtain texture in back , but love it up front.   I upped the contrast in the above example .
