Yeah, how DID he get out the door? LOL he probably went out the back door, right? What I like about this is the "victims" face. It looks great! She did a good posing job. Nice photo overall!!
Compositionally, I think you have done well to include enough context to help develop the story, but simiplified the shot enough that the "victim" isn't lost in the details.
Technically, the focus is good, and the lighting gives it that "almost morning, been here all night" feeling. I couldn't help but chuckle over the pose is very stiff comment. Woudln't that indicated that you succeeded in making her look really dead? I do agree that not being able to discern the edge of the model from the floor is a bit disconcerting. She looks dismembered. Maybe is she was wearing a different color, or if there was just a bit more light on her. If you were going for the dismembered look, you did well.
Overall, a good shot, and it definitely meets the challenge.
Karma
Lighting on the door distracts from the scene. The legs take up much of the photo, but the interesting details are on the arms and face. Perhaps having the body in a different position would help. I like the color/tone of the body. The cuts look interesting.
