I think more color to the background would have been just the trick for his shot. The leading lines flow very well to the subject but beyond that there is just a dull feeling. I do however like the feeling of what could she be thinking or looking at. Good shot none the less. (8)
The lines of the bench lead in to the subject really well and the subject is certainly very pleasant, although I feel that the pose looks a little uneasy.
I like how the lines here seem to point to the curves of this woman's body, which contrast well with the straight lines of the railing and the bench. I'm kind of confused by your title, but that doesn't matter. The rotation of the shot is a little unusual to me, but that's up to you, really. Not bad at all.
I can see where you were going with the bench lines leading to the lady, but personally I just see a girl sitting there. I think to place hign in the challenge the lines are going to have ben very dominant in the image. I think what takes away from the line the most is the break in between the two benches.
model nicely in focus, leading lines are there but weak and spoiled by the bars going across the pic which give a sense of stop looking any further when the background looks interesting.
The woman's expression appears more grumpy than surreal. I don't really like that her leg was cut off. Nice idea for the challenge, however. Focus is great and I like the mute, earthtone colors. 5
"Surreal"? I really don't see anything surreal going on here...except maybe the fact that her leg is chopped off and a little selective desat. happening...but the bench creates pretty effective leading lines though.
