Two things... I'm not at all surprised that such an incredibly high quality image like this would be yours. I'm blown away it scores only 5.6. DPC voters never cease to amaze me sometimes. :(
What beautifully done, professional quality imagery. Lighting, tonality, posture and expression, use of the red background wall with the white curtain, and the effect of a breeze blowing the curtain are all perfect. This should be a top finisher and ribbon unless voters somehow think you are trying to "cheat" by emptying only part of a room. Hope not though. This is terrific in every way.
This came in mind when I saw this well done picture:

"You're Beautiful"
My life is brilliant.
My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Flying high, [ - video/radio edited version]
Fucking high, [ - CD version]
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.
I'm sure you're getting a lot of "views" on this - going after the sex appeal crowd will certainly get it loaded in the browser. Not sure why this image is in this challenge - I guess the lady is your one "item" to add to an empty room? Speaking of empty rooms, I'm not seeing enough empty room to know that it is a room. Looks more like a corner of the room. I'm not voting on this, but I can't imagine giving it more than an average score based on the above comments. Best of luck to you in the challenge.
nice idea, but would have been better with a different pose. maybe back to the camera with arms up in the air, dancing/swaying, enjoying the breeze, as opposed to awkwardly covering up.
Cool shot. Very chic looking. Great lighting. I like how you've gone with the pov from down low. I really like how the curtain is 'echoing' the curves of the model. Cool idea. Nice job.
This looks familiar, the face but also the color of the wall, not to mention the quality: The Kapluggin clan. :)
I like it how the flow of the curtain follows the line of the leg/body but the straight arm follows the edge of the wall line. The light is very good, except for the curtain. Nice work.
Nice concept. Love the red wall. I am wondering if it would have more sense of an empty room, if you'd backed up to show more of it. Good perspective and lighting.
