I went back and forth all week about entering. I thought it might be more of me than anyone would want to see. And I had no idea how it would be received. Thanks for not laughing -- out loud, anyway.
This is a digital capture inside a homemade camera obscura (the cardboard box). The lighting is the modeling lamp of an Alien Bees strobe.

Interesting, quite beautiful, makes me think of something from a dream you can't fully remember when you've just woken up. I like the light on the model, it defines the muscle well. You've still managed to get a good focus on the torso depsite the ghostly effect of the long exposure. Nice warm tones too, great job.
This image is just haunting enough to keep me looking, studying it. I imagine that the reflection to the left is your light source, but it almost looks like a burning effigy. If a photo makes me wonder "what is happening?" I already am more interested in it than most composed shots out there. Well done.
