I've had this image swimming around in my head all summer - actually wanted to shoot it for the "afterlife" challenge months ago but couldn't find a model.
Shot right at sunset with no fill -

Excellent pose, interesting lighting, good exposure and composition. I'm ambivalent about the flare and torn hose, and think that it would look better without these somewhat distracting features, at least the color streak. Hope it does well.
perfect expression, perfect pose, perfect colors and perfect composition, with a title to match it and to fit the challenge. i am giving it a 10. although the pink beam of light is a bit distracting, i think its ok not to have cropped it off because a sunless photo wouldnt have the same effect.
The torn hosiery is a nice touch. Gutsy call on leaving the sun flare in. I like it, but I imagine you're going to get called out on it by others. :D
This could be VERY enticing if the composition was to exclude the part just above the hill at the end of the visible road. Just a touch more mystery, that's all. But then you would have had to do something about the flare (at the time of image capture).
Great shot. Love the emotion. The torn stockings. Was she left there by someone? Was she running after someone? Great concept. I'm sure others will be bothered by the light flare but I say it adds to the contrast of the picture. The torment of the woman is met by the warmth of the sun. Excellent job. A 10 from me
