This looks like Sunday morning when you throw the sheets of and lie there for a minute trying to decide whether to pull them back on and ignore the world or get up in search of coffee.
It took me a while searching for the main subject before I discovered I'm looking at it :) I like the original attempt on the challenge theme. I like B&W also. It makes the picture a retro feel. Different textures also make the picture interesting. Definately something that leaves a lot to viewer imagination.
I really like this shot. It's one of the few images, in this challenge, that doesn't look like it was made just for the "Dappled Light" challenge. The lighting seems very natural.
While there may well be dappled light here, the rest of the image fails for me. The lack of any detail in the textures and lack of any real interest means that this image just doesn't grab me in any way. This is just my opinion of course and I am not sure what you were intending to portray.
