someone mentioned Weston's &#039<img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w…" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" />eppers' images, which is the first thing I thought of when I saw this.
First, this is an exceptionally cool (and, I imagine, difficult) pose. It would be interesting to find out how long you had to hold it.
It appears as though your skin has some light oil on it, creating the bright highlights. I think this was a good idea, especially if the photographer was deliberately trying to reference the pepper images.
I would have liked to see a black or dark grey background for the purposes of greater contrast.
That said, the white background reminds me of another series of B&W nude images (I forget the photographer).
Also, I think the crop is a bit too tight, not a lot, just a bit.
All in all, though, a very good image - from conception to execution.
You are both to be commended.
