The background is a little distracting. The red candel seems to blend into the background since its the same color, I think a more definite edge would be better there.
I have looked and looked and I just don't get the message/ concept.
Though I'm starting to entertain thoughts of virgins in chastity belts being burned at the stake!!
I do really like the image and would be interested to learn what your idea/ challenge interpretation is.
Great diagonal and wonderful mix of red, yellow, bronze and black.
Visually highly appealing and very enigmatic.
One of my top 5.
This looks like it requires a good bit of set up. I like the lighting on the lock, and the dramatic background. While the angle is interesting, I keep feeling the candle flame is pointing the wrong way, and it distracts me.
Not quite getting the idea, chastity belt? Perhaps I'm being narrow minded.
The colors are good and the lock nice, layout ok, 7
Perhaps if having a woman in the background showing stomach would have raised your score to 10
