Beautiful
Prekrasnaya foto. Beautiful texture.

What is the intent of the photo? It doesn't draw me in. It is a photo of a muscular woman. OK, now what? The lighting and pose don't strike me as beautiful, bold, unique, shocking, etc. I'm left feeling nothing.

The veins in her hands are quite a contrast to her abdominal muscles. Was that the intent? The way the light strikes the tendon (?) on her inner left thigh bothers my eye. She has a good physique but IMHO, it is depicted in too masculine a way.

Thanx.
All is correct. My intentions are those.

Very striking, but not exactly my cup of tea. I prefer a more typically feminine nude, I guess. As the photo was loading on my screen, I was waiting for the penis. But oops, no, it's a woman. And with this little pubic hair, it might as well be a kid. Nothing about this photo is sensual or erotic to me, and why else photograph her nude?

Nice
Seems some of the criticism with your photo revolves on the muscularity of the subject, the athleticism of which I actually appreciate. Some people prefer soft and others hard bodies ... I think it is a wonderfully captivating photo, nice tones and texture. I suspect the ever increasing and positive rise of women's athletics will bring a sea change in classically subjective standards of female beauty. Good work :)

It looks like you took a page from Bitesnich. Pretty good.

Excellent shot

These remarks are scaring me. I like it personally. I'm not looking at pubic hair or for a penis or anything, but the tones look GREAT and the clarity is definitely a plus. 6/6

She is an Olimpic woman!

Awesome photo... I can understand guys being intimidated, but there's only one cure - get off your couches, get into the gym, and get in shape. Besides, she is pumped and ripped in this photo, and contrast adds to that appearance, I am sure she'd look much more feminine in a different lighting and if she skipped pumping iron before the shoot...

I'll use this pic to comment on your work as a whole - very well done. The black and white is rich even on my computer screen. The body of work is solid. Some striking images, unconventional approaches - coupled to the luscious tones. Thanks.

I don't understand others' criticisms. They seem to stem from the fact that they do not find this overly muscled woman sexually attractive or sensual. I would agree, she is quite unnatractive for a woman. But there's nothing actually wrong with the execution of the photo, it's a competent, if not a standout, shot.

This is a very beautiful photograph. The beauty of this photo lies in it's approch. The intent is not to highlight curves which is obvious in female body but a bit different. I think the intention is to show contrast - of subject, form, pose, tonal quality etc. I like it as it is not a traditional"supposed-to-be" female nude photograph. What irritates is the tinge which could have done away with. Good execution...
