    I like it. Curvy, suggestive.....And i love the selective colour on that one particular curve!

    cool... the only thing that bugs me is the straps on her back...
    I guess there was no way of avoiding those. The curves look nice, and I love the little red border.

    Your subject matter was my first thought when I read the challenge topic mwink.gif !

    Good approach using the selective color. I think it works well in your pic. I wonder if the crop is a little too tight. And I don't mind the strap on her back - it helps give a visual reference to the viewer in a somewhat abstract shot.

    I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

    I think the second one has a lot of potential but the lighting is off. Seems like you need more of it. Also, I think the image would have more effect if the subject was more clearly an outline of a person. I think you can do this while still providing emphasis on the curved aspect of the human form.

    Perhaps this outline would better suit the curves theme?

    Hmmm. Like the curveyness and compo. The background is just a tad dark for me. Looks like you were going for the moodiness in this shot, but the model's outline could be better defined with more light on the background. Perhaps you could use the curves tool to bring out the midtones in the background a little more?
