Artistic Nude Ahead - NSFW

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

I love the circular catchlights in #2 and totally agree with that #3 is pretty smart.

I'll play devils advocate here and say that (right or wrong) perhaps everyone is so used to your images being of the highest quality they expect to see nothing less than that every time you post here? I can only really talk for myself but I know every time I see a post from you without opening it, I already know its going to be of the highest quality, and far better than I could do.

#2 the color of the eyes kinda look funny to me, and detract from the overall image i think.
#3 great image with awesome composition and idea behind it, that color in the eyes is still there tho, just... lol.

Thanks again for the replies :)

I guess what i am trying to say is i am along way of being 'quality' there are many areas i can improve on and when i do get crit here it helps me enormously.

Thanks again for taking the time to see my imagery.

hi dan,

not sure of the words to use, but #1, personally I dont like it. I usually dont like nudes, so that may be half of the reason. then I also dont like anything kind of S&M and the rusty mesh introduces that for me. prudish arent I? :D

#2 left me wanting to see her left eye, but I like the lighting.

#3 I love. I like the light in the shot, and the simple blue and white walls. two things bother me some, her bright scalp (maybe, just maybe paint over that a touch???), and the corner of the wall just above her head draws my eyes to that, cutting into her head, rather than her eyes. the catchlights in this one are a little freaky too, maybe because I can only see the lower side of the ring light in her eyes...

what kind of ring light is it?
