These are images from my recent Fine Art Nude Workshop, taken by Richard.  After every workshop attendees can submit images for critique and follow-up.
 

 
Lovely.  Only comment is that I would bring up the light levels in the left corners just to balance the overall light tones of the image.
 
 
Equally lovely, the drape looks great, the pose is lovely, Leah looks lovely.
 
In this case the dark base works because it provides a base for the image.
 
 
 
 
 
These two images are of course the same just rotated, I understand the thinking about …

These are Ian’s pictures taken during the recent RPS workshop with myself, Graham Whistler and Clive Haynes.   After every workshop I run attendees can send me images for review once they’ve had a chance to edit and post-process them.

 Hmm, this lighting is really setup for a full length body image and with this close-up of the face it really highlights the flaws as well as being in a slightly odd direction.
 
The pose on this, maybe combined with a wider-angle zoom has led this pose to look very big around the hips.  I do love the soft gentle wrap of the right …
