Somehow hipychick, you have managed to make this one of the best movement photos I have seen in a Low Key shot. It is amazing how you managed to engage the viewers eye throughout the frame. Very concentric circles, amazing. This is one of those special setups that is truly unique. Wonderful!
Nice shot for the challenge. The focus is good and the DOF is nice also. It just seems a tad busy. Maybe if the left arm was under the blanket. It just kind of pulls my eye down there being right in front. The Black and white is perfect. This just wouldn't be the same in color. Good work.
I think this is a beautiful photo, definitely underrated. The only thing that may have hurt you is the light area on the pillow vs. the face - but I personally like how subdued the face is. Great job!
