Shermy.. . you are amazing. I long for the day when a picture I don't like and wish I didn't have to enter ends up this awesome and in 12th place. You are awesome :)
While this does convey emotion and the photo is well taken, it lacks originality. I'd suggest spending more time exploring different ways to convey a meaning.
nice idea but something seems amiss here. I really cant point that out very clearly but maybe its the lighting. I feel that either the half of vertical axis should have been lighted alike or half of horizontal axis. here all limbs seems to get a different light and that maybe creates some disharmony is an otherwise wonderful image 7
I like it, it as a real graphic abstract quality to it. If I had any suggestion it would be to maybe use a reflector placed low off camera to bring details to the model's back, but it may have changed the mood so who knows. It is pretty good the way it is.
