Very interesting, but not from a voyeuristic slant. The toning is unusual and technically competent. The composition is fine. I like it very much but I feel it will have it's detractors. Well done.

There is a lot of crap nude photography out there.
Problem is, that due to the nature of the subject we consciously or subconsciously get seduced,
which leads to an alteration of our judgement abilities.
This happens in every image, e.g. if we take a normal portrait of someone we're in love with we're most likely biased.

That said I find the presented image a valid attempt for a statement.
I find the use of a "cool color" for a "hot topic" interesting to some extent.
I associate meanings like solarium, alienation from our bodies, excessive sports abuse, frigidity, tension between drive and prohibition ...

What distracts me technically is the apparent banding and I also have a bit difficulties what the meaning should be.

What was your intention with this image/study?

No particular intention. It is left to the viewer to make of it what he/she will!
