Thanks for your critique.

Beautiful, great colors !!! 7/7

Beautiful photograph, in many ways!

It is very symetrical in her pose and the colors in the background, which is a good thing.

Great colors too.

Great photo. Very original, with those colours. The model is gorgeous and the capture is perfect. The colours work really well.

If anything, I would have cropped right below the grey area on the top of the photo. It?s a bit distracting. Still, a 7/7.

Thanks for sharing.

 

Cheers

 

I agree with Nacho. Crop right below the gray horizontal piece. It's distracting

Me too agree about cropping the picture !

A part that, the pic is very good to me :-)

Have to agree with most of the above comments. However, I must add that this one of the best nude photos I have seen. Real natural and very classy.

I disagree with the above comments and I would keep it as it is! Excellent shot. As usual!!!

Ahhhh.... must be tired. I didn't notice the gray bar. I kept seeing this pic in the gallery and it kept striking me. I love the wild watery colors framing and backing the model, her hand positions, the slickness of her hair. I suspect the crop would help also - but nonetheless a striking image.

The gray band above her head bothers me, it really breaks up the photo for me.

Great shot with interesting reflections !

Little bit more crop at the top, for me.

Croping not croping....That is the question.

I had it in mind before posting the picture...and I choose not to.

After most of your comments asking for a croping, I tried again, but still prefer it as it is.Sorry !!

I think if you stare at the model in the eyes, but widening your field to include the kind of cross (cross of a sword) hanging over her head!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????? the picture takes another dimension.

What do you think ??

Very nice shot!

Beautiful portrait. Doesn`t really make you think of a nude shot. Incredible colors on the background.

First, this a a top notch photo as are all your nudes...world class. I too did not notice the grey blob until reading the comments. That is because the focal point is the amazing depth you get out of your nude models. Her eye contact, the classy way you hit the sweet spot on nudes without ever being pinup-like or maxim like or over the top towards revealing too much. You simply nail every nude.

 

BUT, you might love your big grey blob but I did your open focus look and quite frankly, it is a useless and distracting element. Don't take this the wrong way as I think your nudes are among the best I have ever seen. Think your your grey blob this way....you have an epic photo of a women in the water and someone comes along and hacks a big grey lugie on it...now you have a different grey blob...distracting now that it is not your personal grey blob? Let it go...the grey blob is absolutely distracting and out of harmony with the photo. All artists fall in love with their work and lack objectivity at times, even those who are are talented as you. My writer friends all love their little scenes in screenplays they write at first...call them their 'favorite grey blob scense"...and after the editors go over and after a couple of rewrites, they get some distance from those grey blob cute scense that are not congruent with the plot and edit them out...

 

So to reiterate for the gang...grey blob must go...adios gris...bye bye grey! Keep you work pure and world class and blobless!

 

Moving on..I find the colors interesting. I assume they are altered. I was wondering what steps or processes you did to achieve that in Photoshop...was is just a Curve shift? or?

 

Keep up the great work, all your nudes are 6 or 7s...in fact I will hold off rating this one...with blob I would give a point or two lower and to me this pic is close to 7 so I don't want my blob aversion to affect it.
