This involved a lot of layers and filters. The model is my daughter. I used a flashlight and some lightweight chains to cast a shadow on the wall behind her.
Probably will score badly, because I don't think the voters like images that look too much like graphic art. But I like it, so there :P

Thanks for the great comments. As I said above, I knew it wouldn't score well. But I achieved my purpose, and the people who matter to me got my message and appreciated the art. I am very happy with the response.

I gave this one a 9. I still think it is a great image. You should be very proud of this piece. You were right about the voters, but for those of us who appreciate images like this, we give you a tremendous THANKYOU.
This is awesome. I looked at it a long time when I was voting and gave it a high score. I forgot to go back and see who did it. Congrats on creating this beautiful piece of art!
Julianne, I honestly don't know what I would've done during voting. Looking at it now, though, it's a powerful piece of art that I really like. In fact, it's going in my favorites.
Ha! Looking at your post-challenge commenters, it's 100% team suckers!
Edited to add: WOW. Look at that score from commenters during the challenge! I think that's the largest difference between commenters and average score I've seen.
This is a stunning piece of art. Really no complaints. The issue with voters though that is hard to associate with photography. Still that doesn't take away from such a great piece. Nicely done.
Julianne,
You may not have received a high vote in this, but I think it is both artistic and lovely. In fact, I think this belongs in a gallery somewhere. Truly. I would have voted this very, very high had I voted in this challenge.
Oh yeah, this is very cool, maybe a bit conceptual for DPC but oh well, I really like it GREAT idea and execution in my book...and I agree with previous post about this being a GREAT poster. Way to go!!
