I agree with TooCool that I would like to see some more detail in the hair. My chief concern is the floor - in addition to being a tad distracting, in some sense I find the clean, polished look of it to be contradictory to what I perceived the mood of the image to be. Somehow the 'neatness' of it just doesn't square with the stockings, tattoo and the 'falling from grace' idea. But hey, I didn't even notice there was a floor until 30 seconds of staring...
Personally, I love the way the tattoo leads you up and down the body. And speaking of that body... wow, is this a friend??! This might be the hottest shot on DPC :P Fav'd & Great work!
This is a great picture. Using black and white really makes her tattoo, stockngs, and hair all work together to bring the picture togther. Besides the artistic value this picture is just down right hot. Great model.
This is an incredibly emotive photograph but the wood floor just kills it i think. it takes this incredibly emotive pose and causes to relate it to their living room or kitchen.
I don't quite understand the title in this context, but that is maybe due to the fact that English is not my mother tongue. The picture is anyway fascinating.
I think this would have worked better on another kind of surface - and I think I would prefer it in color too (but that would probably make the floor look even worse). Besides that it's an interesting take on the challenge.
Woah! Really stunning. Kinda just going through the challenge and then BAM this hits me over the head. I don't... really have the right words to tell you what I think of this. It's amazing.
I like the idea of this. With the lace of the stockings and the tattoos along with the design of the wood grain, it's a tad busy for me. I'd prefer her on a solid black background, or perhaps in a diff position with it behind her, instead of under.
