Nude in Cave

nice shot but where's the cave?

I used the word "cave" but I should better use "mine". This is an abandoned cement mine, and here we see a part of the refinishing industrial plant. Sorry for my bad translation...

Technically I think this is a very good shot in terms of sky, tones, detail etc but I don't think that the nude adds anything to it. It divides my attention. I have tried to imagine an industrial landscape setting in which a nude could add anything and so far I can't think of one.

As it is a posed picture and there is some interesting graffitti on the walls then someone like an artist with a aerosol spray can might be appropriate. You might even concentrate on the graffitti and the artist figure and exclude the larger scene but it would be a pity to exclude the sky and isolation it engenders.

I'd prefer the scene minus people or a person appropriate to the mine and the graffitti.

For me it works but it would improve if you would cut 2-3 cm of the foreground, the balance would get better for me!
Otherwise I really like it!

All in all, I like it. Completely opposite reaction from pentaxuser: I have always juxtaposed nudes with indutrial settings. This one works well-all (or at least most) of the lines actually lead to the nude as a focal point: roofline, mountians, the crack/seam in the foreground. Would like to see it with the shadow on the extreme left cropped out, and maybe a bit of the foreground.

Nice work.

Yes, tone A+, exposure, Perfect, but I agree with those that feel the nude detracts. Actually, I think the nude and the building are two photos fighting for my attention. So, I don't know whether to look at the nude or the..ah..whatever. Okay. If you are looking to juxtapose this very beautiful nude against something, place her next to the building where you have this garish lettering I don't need to see all that is written, just that she is soft and lovely and this lettering is rude, loud and intrusive. Then I think you'd have a better photo.

Thanks to all, especially who spent some time to make an analisys on the image, and explained me his/her reasons.
