I stood on a coffee table with glass top and clicked the shutter with remote (2-sec delay). I really wish I had a model with nicer looking body parts. These rock-climber limbs are not very visually appealing :)
PP: crop, bw conversion, curves, little burning, resize, usm, frame
I used a small piece of black velvet cloth to cover my legs. some parts of it showed up a little shiny because of flash and had to burn them in pp.
I just got the blue shirt and this is my first member challenge. Hope i don't get embarrassingly low score.
Post Challenge: Shoot!!!
I let someone borrow my camera a week before. I need to check the date/time setting after I get home.
Update: The camera date says "2008"...aaahhh!!!
My friend must have accidentally changed the year while adjusting the time for daylight savings.
Lesson Learned: ALWAYS check the camera date before shooting for the challenge.
Thank you very much for all for comments.

Ouch, I did the same thing in table shot II, right day wrong year, must be something about those darn table shots... Very nice image, sorry to hear about the DQ.
Still a winner in my book. A very cool and imaginative shot. I like the cut off feet effect. Reminds me of the hand in the Adam's Family movie. I didn't vote in the challenge but this shot definitly caught my eye. Easily made my top5 picks from the challenge.
Geez, seems I completely forgot to vote this beautiful table shot.
Congrats on the Red Ribbon, well done, one of my favorites.
Nothing wrong with your limbs.
Nothing to be embarrassed about! This is so cool and very visually interesting! Put it on some wall in your house or office and show it off proudly. It's a conversation starter.
This is going to get some serious attention. Excellent attention to detail. Immaculate reflections and great sharpness. the reflections make these every day body parts look like objects from another world. Great work.
A very different type of table reflection, the perfect surface allowed for exact replication with one fault - the tops of the feet are not exactly replicated on the bottom reflection - there is a difference that while not noticable at first, that becomes more prominent and distracting the longer it's viewed. While minor, it does affect the image negatively. Technically, given the flaw, the conversion is perfect and shows a indepth knowledge of how to handle the zone system for maximum impact. From an artistic standpoint, it conveys a positive impression on first viewing. Well done.
Creative idea and well executed. Being that this is advanced editing, I would have done something about the shadows of the pant leg on that one leg. Still, good job.
