Tough decision, but my vote goes to the flawless Mermaid Fantasy!
The derriere of model in Majestic seems unnaturally smooth to me.
Although her assets have been earlier authenticated by other photos as definitely "above average", this photo [imo] seems to attempt a further enhancement via digital means.

WCN.... celebrating thevery best in nude photographic arts!
Majestic Mood gets my vote as the picture is better as a whole and has better lighting than Mermaid Fantasy.
The other thing that bugged me about Mermaid Fantasy was the horizon not being straight even though the model is squared up nicely. I take a lot of landscape pictures myself at that is something I always try to get right first time. I would do the same if I were taking pictures of models in landscapes like this one!
I-KON 3 is the culmination of 4 years of intense playoff competition among an elite pool of 550+ world-class candidates.
The winner of this championship bout represents [arguably] the greatest nude and/or sexually artistic photo ever discovered, as documented by World Class Nudes
and Prime Time Teasers photo tournaments!

Well, "Majestic Mood" is exactly that: Majestic.Many other pictures have models look cute, or dreamy, or even shy. This one looks bold, yet not in an unfriendly way. she knows she is the champion, I imagine

That facial expression, the superb contrast and use of shadowing, the long black hair on the hip, the "strong" nipple, the pristine and crisp visual quality,
all contribute in justifying Majestic Mood's retention of the I-KON crown!
The panel has spoken. Capturing a whopping 71% of the vote, the judges select Majestic Mood over Mermaid Fantasy, thereby retaining the I-KON crown as arguably the greatest nude and/or sexually-artistic photo ever discovered!
