When I saw this challenge announced I decided to make something that the other participants wouldn't do. First I thought of what the other participants would do. I think almost all of the other entries will be taken in a white room so I decided to have a black background. I also thought they would bring some stuff like their new guitar or something. That's why I decided to take this photo in a room with no gravity. My first idea was capture the moment I would grab a jar of peanut butter. When I saw my little sister lying on the floor in that pose I got this idea. I found a big black background, put it on the floor and photographed her on it. It was hard to work with her. All she wanted was candy so I gave her a little :). When she had eaten everything she had gotten she wanted more but I told her that she would get more if we could take a good photo. First she was well behaved but after a few shot she wanted more candy. I didn't take many photos of her but this one was the best. There are many things I would like to do better but she won't allow me to photograph her any more. I like the processing. She looks angelic. I'm happy with my results. I hope I won't be disqualified or underrated because my photograph isn't taken in a normal room.

This is so imaginative - and the the quality of the lighting, color, focus, composition are just great. There is a really lonely feel - it is more empty than an empty room.
Camera Work/Technical: There is absolutely nothing that I can find technically wrong with this photograph. Your tones are spot on and your focus is crisp. Everything is the frame is well focused.
Lighting: Again, flawless. Your subjects are perfectly lit and the background is perfectly dark. It would be really hard to find something wrong with the lighting.
Composition/Content: Very interesting. I get a true sense of loneliness by what you put together here. Her body position and outstretched limbs grab the viewer's eye and pull it into the image.
My Opinion: There would be no reason for a DQ, but you didn't hit the challenge according to the voters' scoring. I think this image is terrific, and in a different challenge, it would have been near the top. Even outside the challenge parameters, I think it's much better than 5.13.
Cute, but where's the room? This is well exposed and fun to look at, however I think you're going to get zapped by the DNMC voters (no room, and two items instead of one). Good luck!
Awesome. It makes me a little sad at the same time. I don't know why. Perhaps because the girl looks unhappy. I like the negative space around the girl and the doll. Added to favorites.
There are two very obvious seperate entities here, and no room visible. This definately DNMC. Thinking outside the box does count for something... but only to a certain extent. I give this a 4 because it is a good shot.
ok, i'll say it: DNMC! take ONE thing into an empty room. here you have two things, and no sense of a "room". it's a nice shot, but lucky for you, i'm only commenting and not voting ;-)
