Since everyone has already commented on the technical aspects of the shot, I'll just note that your shoulders look like they could use a good scrub!

Wow, you are beautiful here! I agree with a lot of the comments other people have already made.
The pose is very feminine, which is such an interesting contrast to your other pictures where you're clearly very masculine. I really love the pose and the perspective of looking down at you though, and the interesting lines and angles of your arms and body where your collarbones, pecs and arms create a very nice flow of V shapes and your head, left arm, and left leg are all parallel to each other.
The lighting is wonderful here, highlighting your face, shoulders and thigh. I love the symmetry and the even proportion of the curves of the top of your head and forehead matching the curves of your shoulder and hip, all of which are highlighted with the same glow.
I like how you posed yourself so that you're so much wider from your shoulders and narrowing to your hands with your whole body curving gradually to that point, like driving a windy road along the side of a hill. You can see the path of this road down the line of your neck, between your pecs, along the line of your right arm to your hand. The perspective also emphasizes the narrowing even more.
And of course, I cannot ignore your face! I love the peaceful expression and the profile of your face. It just goes so well with the mood of the image.
This image has so much presence that I find your title intriguing. Are you thinking of yourself as nothing when you stand there hiding yourself, perhaps wishing that you were invisible? I think you can infer contradictory meanings from this image, which is pretty fun.
Beautiful, beautiful work!

I have been wanting to comment on this for quite some time. This was an amazing response to this shot! I dont even know what to say other than I really appreciate these perspectives and I am so glad you got into this piece. It was something that I really wanted to be seen considering it is my first real attempt at a self nude.

Thank you. Im glad you like this.
In regards to your boyfriend's jealousy, I think that is rather disturbing that he would be upset over a piece of art. There are wonderful male nudes within the artistic nude gallery and it would be quite a shame if you were to be detracted from that due to the insecurity of a significant other.

Its not like that exactly; He hides his jealousy when he gets it cuz he trusts me fully, But I know it bothers him a bit after all, he gets jealous over fictional characters i like. which i think is cute. so in regards to what i said before, it was kinda joking. If he was the kind of guy who would get so jealous and crazy over this type of stuff I would most likely be single, or i wouldn't have looked in the artistic nude gallery to begin with, let alone fav this or the other male nude that is currently in my fav.
