I can't believe that my picture did so badly. I was really hoping for at least a top 50. Anyway thanks everyone for the comments and all the votes. Congrats to the top 10...
Very soft, and comforting pose, along with the higher contrast of the stones along her back, The curve of her skin on the table/bed is also nice. The hair looks doctored, but I'll take the benifit of the doubt. The only improvement I can list, is the whole image looks desaturated. It's just missing a little bit of punch that I think would make the image better. Good luck.
I like the idea but there are a few dislikes. The contrast is too subdued for my taste and I'm not a fan of the "grainy" feel. The background and foreground seem to be dodged in and give your model a dark halo. It seems as if you are going for a "dreamy" feel on an image that looks more like a stock photography shot for a day spa. I think it's that conflict that doesn't do this image the justice it deserves.
I do like the texture you used in this photo, it works well with the props. However, I don't think you nailed the over the top appeal. Its still effective, and very pleasing to the eye.
I like the composition and editing but think I would prefer the two ideas seperatly. By this I mean the old fashioned feel I get from the editing you have done works nicely with the model but the stones some how add a touch of modern that doesn't quite fit. Just my humble opinion :o)
the composition and setup are nice, it looks like you were going for dreamy, but it seems grainy and over brightened (not enough contrast), relaxing though
seems to me there is a lot of degredation in the photo but it lacks punch and while the subject matter iis good it doesnt measure up to others in the challenge
