A landscape of the human body. I admire photographers who can bring the surface of the body to a form of visual art...it's so bloody hard to do!
Nice work!

Very artistic.
I would be inclined to crop up to her elbow and clone out the dark background.
All-in-all and excellent shot.

Very artistic Oz. I would agree with the clone out of the background distraction definitely improves the look. Might I be bold enough to suggest that the finger tip under the right elbow may be better cloned out also it tends to offer more distraction to the main relief feature of the main body.
cheers

Agree about the finger: was about to mention it when I came across Marco's post.
As to the title: there's nothing "implied" about the nudity in this photo. It's just not full-frontal, that's all.

I would have liked to see one eye gazing at the camera. This would have added a lovely sense of tension.

Great shot, I prefer the reworked image. Good use of DOF also.

That is just beautiful!! And I agree with the rest of the mob, the second looks far better for having removed the dark bar in the background
