I think this deserves a 10. Why?
1. A female body part always grabs my attention (I'm a guy, live with it)
2. The parallel lines of the her body and shadow are really interesting.
3. The 2 handles draw the eye to the other parallel lines mentioned in 2.
Great image.
So the parallel is suposed to be the edge of the shadow and the edge of her body, right? It's a nice shot with good colors and tones, but I don't think everyone's going to see the parallel lines or agree that they are 'parallel' and you will be marked down for not meeting the chllenge. Too bad, good shot although the door handle doesn't do anything for me.
I think its a great shot...great parallel lines with the girl and the shadow....but I am not sure I like the door handle and lock too much...still a nice photo.
I almost missed the parallel line in the curve of the shadow and waist. The door handles don't do it for me though - not enough parallel there to qualify, therefore distracting.
Those are some interesting lines - I like that the two lines you're presenting us with are parallel but not straight. Also like the inclusion of the door handle to add an extra point of interest though it's a particularly ugly plasticy handle. I nice modern chrome one would have looked great against the skin and wood. Quality of image isn't too good and colour seems overly orange. But I do like the image content and idea.
nice image but suffers since the tie to the challenge is so tenuous. still i like the way you balanced the curve with thw handle and thumb lock, centering the shadow make for a strong graphic.
