This is my first submission, a friend just told me about this site, and I've really been enjoying it. I have been doing all the challenges myself, to get warmed up. I'm just getting into photography. I'm a 3D artist and digital painter by trade, and photography is just another addictive and beautiful art form.
I don't have any light rigs yet, so this was lit with my cheap Ikea lamps. But it gathered a pretty cool vintage-ish style along the way. Enjoy!

I dont get the concept of safety on this, but coming back and looking at it before I remembered what challenge it was I was thinking that this is a cool shot. Just has a cool, odd kind of gritty feel to it. Very interesting.
I dont see the safety aspect of this. (Although if I think waaaaay outside the box I can imagine its to do with a drink being spiked?)
I like the image though and it would have benefitted from a stronger focus on the glass.
7/10
I'll admit freely that I don't get this at all. I see the safety pin on the strap, but I don't know what the focal point is. I see the martini glass, then the stripes of the mini-blinds, then the shadows of the drink against her dress, then the safety pin. I suppose that the fact that my eye was actually brought into the story in such a fashion is actually a good thing. But the subtly in this one is really obtuse.
In a pinch...what? I'm guessing that's a safety pin holing your shoulder strap up. Or maybe a bread tie. Maybe it's not even a dress: maybe it's a garbage bag? Maybe it's not even a girl. But, I get your idea, it's an interesting photo and in my opinion very artistic which I totally respect. Against my better judgment I'm scoring your photo a 10.
Back to comment and bump: Safety is a tough subject for a challenge and after a second look; I can appreciate your take on the subject. Hopefully, the DNMC Police don't hit you too hard, as the connection doesn't hit you over the head. I love the post processing on this image and I believe you executed your idea about as well as could be done. Good luck with your score.
