I don't know what catches my eye so much in this - I think it might be a combination of amazing exposure, tones, and the look on her face. The way that she has a slight shadow on her left eye and her right side is so well lit, the contrast between texture on the skin and the lack of it, I can't quite pin it. I love this photograph for one reason - some girls take photos were your eye goes directly onto the breasts, leaving little concern for the face. Not here, despite the fact that she's obviously a large woman, the first thing that you look at, because you want to and it's so much more interesting, is her face. Well accomplished! If there were prints for sale, I'd certainly buy this one.

This is fantastic.
It destroys any facade or pretention of art historical discussion and cuts right to the soul on a visceral level.
It conjurs lust, hope, and appreciation for one of the best parts of being alive and not necessarily in that order.
Well done.

Breathtaking beauty, superb lighting, amazing form and composition.
Outstanding work here, really; it is shocking in it's simplicity, and precisely because of that, shocking in its serene beauty.

I am extremely curious to see a comparison between the Polaroid print, and the print made from the negative. I almost feel guilty for getting the 55 instead of the 53, and making you stray away from your beloved Polaroid, but I just thought the negatives would be cool.

She seems to have a very cervaious(Did I just make my own word up or did I spell it wrong?) body. To be honest I almost feel sorry for her back.. Nice job on the photo. The contrast and subject placement is good.

the contrast in her face with the hair is great , and the refection is her lips is enchanting, as are the curves..
