    first off. i see this photo as a very "sensual" feeling mood. sooo i think i like the lighting on it. the DOF could use some tweeking. and *this might just be me and looking for a flaw* but it ruins the feel of the picure when there are some hairs sticking up in front of it. headscratch.gif lol.

    Nice shot that's ruined by the over saturation and heavy yellow cast, IMO.

    upside down?
    Interesting shot, but I think the dangly thingy should be on the bottom of the picture; IMO, it looks odd at the topheadscratch.gif

    I also agree w/ Daniel about the DOF, I think more of the navel pin and stuff should be in focus.

    is this a self "portrait"?

    Nice idea. I reckon the white balance is way off. You'll want to do a custom white balance for indoor lighting like that. The composition isn't really working either. And I agree about the hairs, they don't fit the mood of the shot.
