Taken in my basement with my make-shift studio and lighting.
Cloned out harsh shadow around the body, blurred background a little, sharpened, resized, cropped rotated, burned, hue and saturation, brightness and contrast, curves, i think that's all!!

Wow 11th place, great job and congrats! What is even better is this is a great scoring shot and it is not even in your top four. You have been rocking. Ok... on the challenge itself you have captured the essence of an odd couple.
The image is a great idea. Two very different people who are obviously connected. The lighting you used is very nice. The soft feel is very appealing to be, it gives almost a mystical feel especially to her feet. The composition is very and feels complete. The only thing I could see people voting the phot higher for is a little less blur, but then again that is probably way some people voted the way they did. There is not much I can say but great job and keep up the excellent work.
"WOW" Angela.....Yes you are up their with me.....Actually I am so pleased to be in your presence, as we came 10th & 11th......"WOW" arn't we clever.....I knew this image was great, as I voted it a "10", and didn't realize it was yours? I just LOVE it, so well done my friend.....Thanks for my comment as well.....
She almost looks like she's levitating! - Great idea, nicely executed. There's a bit of funny blurring (post-processing?) going on though, around her legs and feet.
I like it, your photo fits the challenge, and the result is fine. Did you add blurr at post processing ? Its seems like the floor is a bit blurry comparing to the couple's feet... that would be my only remark.
put me in mind of the Johnny Cash/June Carter song..... "if I was a carpenter and you were a lady, would you marry me anyway.... and so on.. very nice photo, very well done
Sorry but the blurring of the backround is to obvious for my taste and just drags my attention from the copule. The rest of the shot is pretty good, love the suspended feeling from her and the lighting.
