I do not like or appreciate photographs of cats, but this one is an exception.  I like the color palette - the colors and tones compliment each other extremely well. Of course, as usual, your model is beautiful and is in an excellent pose. They say that every photograph should tell a story - for me the story is the tension between the cat and model for the viewer's attention. In addition the cat and its pose balances the composition very well. However, I go for the model. Very nice.

Sweid has said it best of all.  There is no sense in me adding to his critique other than to personally express my admiration and appreciation.

Another fine example of your skills as a photographer.  You constantly demonstrate that a photographer does not need a studio to produce excellent art. The juxtaposition of the model and the statue on the table works very well.

As usual you have captured the beauty of "the girl next door" while accentuating her innocence and sensuality - a difficult goal.  Very nicely done.

Beautiful photograph my friend.  The lighting and the pose remind me of classic nudes of the 1950's.  You can never go wrong being classy or classical.  Best wishes for the coming new year,  I look forward to your continued sharing of your mastery with us.

The eyes look unnatural and over processed.

I have one of those in my truck ... 3K Battery.

I like the photograph - vivid colors, models exhibiting a proper attitude, nice lighting - well done

Such a lovely and alluring woman.  Wonderful lighting and composition reminds me of classical Hollywood portraits.  Very nicely done.

That is what makes classics so classic.  They excel no matter the age, medium, or media.  You have honored the classics, this model, and yourself with this work.  Very well done ... as usual.

Wonderful lighting and overall ambiance.  The model has a very natural pose and an intriguing expression. Great job.

Composition is confusing and there does not appear to be any rules for the compostion of this photograph.  What are you trying to tell the viewer with this shot.  What is the focus, dominate element of the photograph?  The horizontal axis of the photo is also not horizontal. 

A very nice photograph - classic pose, nice soft lighting, and ... no body "art".

Thanks for the memories - memories of 1968 - 1970 stolen moments of a lost youth. I can almost taste the LaBatts 50 (Cinquante) and the fragrance of Celine from here, Thailand, some 45 years later - the power of a very good photograph.

Lovely photograph - a very welcoming and gracious pose, lovely model, overall relaxing atmosphere, great lighting, strong composition, sharp focus - anther impressive example of your work,  Thank you for your continued sharing with this community my friend.

I love the lighting in these photos.  It is also nice to see a beautful woman ... without body art!  The poses are very powerful yet still convey the flexibilty of the human body.  Vey well done - once again!

For me the term "Toxic Honey" also seems appropriate.  Such a lovely face and body, desecrated by tattoos - poor tattoos to make it even more sad.  What was she thinking?  Oh yes, she was not thinking.  Strangely I prefer the black and white version.  Your photograph, as usual, is excellant - exposure, focus, and lighting.

Another wonderful portrait.  I love her expression.  Very well done - Happy New Year my friend and I look forward to many more of your photographs in the new year.

For me, I prefer the color version.  I typically prefer color photographs because they are more realistic. I rated both photos the same due to the composition, focus, lighting but I do prefer the color.

I would suggest a series of this pose with moving the light at the same elevation and radius from the model.  My preference would be to move the light source more towards the front of the model's face to expose more of the other side of his face.

Very powerful and effective use of lighting to make a dramatic photograph.  Very well done my friend.

Great photograph - if it were to be available for rating, I would have given it a "6" With a little more depth of field around the neck and metal ring - it would be a "7".  I appreciate that unlike so many photographs of elderly ethnic people today, you did not over emphasize the wrinkles and textures of the skin by over post processing - contrast and sharpening.  I like the darker background which makes the blue stand out more and eliminates background distraction.  Of course the model is fantastic but you allowed her to be the subject to the maximum by not showing off (distracting) with your Post Processing skills.  Wonderful and thank you for sharing.

I do not like photographs of nude models and ropes.  I find them to be cliches.   Having said that, I really liked this photograph and gave it a "6"

The interaction of the ropes and the model is natural and at the same time creates tension as well as energy in the composition.  The lighting acentuates and drives focus to the composition.

Very nicely done.

I rated it a "5" based upon lighting, focus, and model/subject.

It could have been a "6", if so much of the top of her head had not been cropped off.  In my opinion the crop is too much of a distracting element of the composition.

Absolutely stunning my friend.  I particularly like the interplay bewteen the light and shadows.

Masterful. Excellent lighting.
