Indeed the most creative composition in this challenge as the image imparts a virtual graphical quality that is very pleasing to absorb with its lines. Congratulations on your 4th placing.
Very high technical quality on this beautiful B&W composition. Framing, lighting and contrast excellent. This should place high and win "best use of miniblinds" at the awards ceremony. ;)
Challenge: SHADOWS III
Description: Creatively capture a shadow Advanced Edit
Stripped and Striped
Fit: Epitomises the idea behind the challenge 2

A wonderful composition in so many ways that cleverly hints at so much more by allowing the shadows to tease by obscuring.
Technical: Technically well executed 2
Wow: Slaps you in face 3
Well, it just does!
Total Score = 9
The foot and show are a very nice combination with the stiped shadows. But the rest of the body confuses it a little. I wonder if bringing the other foot in and removing the body would have produced a more startlingly simple image?
Good use of black and white but not to sure about the thin line following the curves near the bottom of the screen. Maybe if you had moved the model over some to remove that line. But dont worry...I didn't deduct too much...LOL!
I really like the subject and the shadows ... the pose looks painful and it's hard to look at the image ... yet somehow easy ... um ... hope this helps :]
