What rating (0 - 10) would you give this SPAN photo?

Starting at 10 (perfection), I subtract a full rating point for each major negative I see, and a half rating point for minor issues.

No glaring negatives imo, just a few minor problems:

- foreground blur
- general pixelation
- unable to see eyes
- leg cut-off
- boob tease (what I see looks good, but feel shortchanged)

That's 2.5 points off, for a final rating of....

7.5

Classy nude pic!

This rating system of yours is a bit too complicated... I prefer hot or not kind of things for dummies and my answer is; she is not a too bad looking girl at all from this angle at least and with my rating system that is not too bad rating to have... in numeric format this would probably translate to 1 point, where 0 points would mean ugly, minus points would mean person being a man and 2 points or more would mean a superhot babe...

The one and only.
Arbitrary score of 6.

A nude ballerina stretching isn't really an artistic photo to me. What makes it artistic? The fact that she's not looking at the camera?
 
Thanks, Ace Bandage! Appreciate you submitting your rating.

Please don't get caught-up with the semantics. S-P-A-N is just a broad, convenient term for a type of
non-graphic (i.e. non-insertion, non-gape) photography that typically features a hot babe (usually nude or semi-nude) in a sexually provocative and/or artistic pose.

Are you sure you would consider this in your list to judge artistic nude?

Blur isn't wrong (All the pictures you have shown so far were all blurry). When a photographer takes a picture the foreground or background might be blurred because of the perspective and focus. It can be used as an advantage to accentuate something, create movement, something dynamic, accentuate vibrant colors, etc. In this picture foreground and background are blurred and so you'll guide your eyes to the girl. And since she's the main topic of this picture... The blur will also have this effect to make it more dynamic instead of static.

The colors are warm and complementary. Usually warm colors are associated with something lively, active, cheerful and in this picture this is accentuated by the use of the light: the light coming from the window shines on the front of the girl and leaves the rest in shadow. Since your eyes are already on the girl because of the focus, the first thing you're going to notice is this contrast in light in shadow. You'll look at her face and breasts.

It doesn't matter that her leg is "cut off" (well, it does when you create a portrait or a static picture but this picture isn't). Which brings us to the composition. The picture is dominated by lines: the bars against the wall and her leg. All these bars once again lead you to the main subject of the picture: the (front of the) girl. So for the third time it tells you what the main focus or subject of the picture is. The picture is well balanced with the cloth on the left, front of the girl in the middle, her lower body on the right. Since you have been focusing on the light (left), the girl (middle), her leg will guide your eyes to the right and the rest of her body (or the composition for that matter).

In other words: a very good picture. It does what it's supposed to do, and I can't see anything wrong with it. So when it comes to the artsy part of it: 10.
 
Have you considered creating a dedicated thread to this type of photo and discussion in the niche section?
http://board.freeones.com/forumdisplay.php?146-Niche-and-Fetish-Corner

That way people that would want to chime in and share your interest can subscribe and you can keep all the discussions in one place, I think you'd spark more conversation from people who are interested, rather than the individual "what do you think of this pic" threads.

Just a thought.

Quite impressive, GodsEmbryo - expert, in-depth analysis for sure... the sort of feedback I'm ultimately after.
Thanks for weighing in!
 
Ooooo heck, I give the pic a full 10 -hhhaaaa
Even allowing for the angle of the shot, I would still give it the 10
The model is a erotic beauty in the pic too who is doing her bit. So no, I would not penalise the pic in any way at all.
But that is just me.
