I've been wanting to do some nudes on white paper for a while now. Finally got it and shot some.

Model: PENTAX K20D
ISO: 200
Exposure: 1/160 sec
Aperture: 6.3
Focal Length: 43mm
Flash Used: No

This a nice, neat and effective G-rated nude shot.
It's nicely rendered and converted, the lighting is my main point of interest here.
It's nicely arranged, with good exposure all over, though the front shadow from a rear light is not my favoured look. I'd have gone for a more textured effect with less lighting (but granted the white paper doesn't make this an aesthetically easy concept). Nevertheless it does look great.

I like it too.
Minor nit would be the loss of detail in her hair on the shadow side.
The forward shadow might be more effective if it weren't cut off.

I agree. Nice work.

It evokes many thoughts for me and I could envision it on my wall reminding me of the tensions between privacy and pride I imagine in a real woman.
