This could be lovely, but you need to do some colour correcting, too loose some of the purple, and do upload a higher resolution.

friiskiwi is right. She is a lovely model, though

think i'd have paid closer attention to the nails at this sort of closeness. i mean...a fresh coat of paint and perhaps some filing is in order.

I was trying to create a stronger contrast between the fingernail and the skin. The skin is by nature very smooth and nice looking, so you cannot really change that. Therefore, it's easier to make the nail to look more "out of it" than the skin, which is why I chose not to have the nails done to the best they could be.

I actually think the rough edge works very well in this shot. Nice capture

I know what you mean author, but to me its distracting from the skin which is the focus of the picture. Perhaps its my own peeve, and no one else is distracted by the nail, unfortunately for me my eye keeps looking at the nail. :P

I kind of agree with jadedink... it's very nice focus and lighting etc. ... but the nail is kind of freakin' me out

I agree with jakedink too

nice shot.

Could crop a little tighter imo..

WOW! That's hot!

Well Done author!

Nicely done! 2 thumbs up!

This image is well within the guides and rules....there is nothing offensive here.

mmm, I wonder who's this might be...................stunning shot, well framed, lit, everything, well done author.

This is for sure eye candy...well done author

This is well posed and the lighting is very well done, the lady has a great bod for sure,but in my opinion this is good artistic photograpy but really not that sexy. nice shot.

She looks fantastic for just having had a baby (I think I recognize that little smile). Or, If I'm wrong, she just looks fantastic. Congrats

Excellent shot... Glockman I'm curious if this is "not really that sexy" then what is?

Kyricom, you are correct that's her Thank-you everyone for the compliments!

Oh, I'm sure if my mother was a member, she'd flag it. She's such a prude...

Glockman, seriously DO NOT AGREE. I guess you just don't get the fetish. (the Tie, the Hat) Just because of those two items and for the way it is posed. The fact you can't see her eyes also adds to the mystery and it's done just on the edge of censorship. It's the hat and tie that are a man's. A lot of men find women who dress up in men's clothes, especially there own, find it really arousing, and definite eye candy! I can recall Playboy doing spreads with the same idea.

Congrats for your second place!

I'm so glad this placed so high. Well done my friend, as always!

Congrats...

Beauty indeed!!!!!!

sexy pose indeed. does she have a black eye though or is that a shadow?

Thankyou for the kind comments and k5683 no black eye just a shadow from the way her hair is laying.

very nice shot...good luck

I like it

Very nnice image!
