This meets the challenge to the letter, but for me, it doesn't have enough interest - maybe if more of the ref's body, especially arms, were showing it would help. Crisp and clear image, though.
lol, great great shot. the comp is perfect the exposure is just right. you hit the dof perfect, there is only one major problem. there is alot alot of noise in this shot. crank down your iso and don't let the camera over heat. the noise in this shot is almost overwhelming and I think it robbed you of a top 10 finish here...8
