A pair of great tiger-striped pants, about 4 sizes too small for even to think of wearing, atop a bedspread with a zebra-print on the pillows and running its length. Shot with a desklamp and a reflector propped up against my left leg.

Those have to be the most fun pants I have seen. You nailed the challenge description very well with your position.
I like how you have lined up the pants lines with the bedspread lines on the left hand side. I gave this a 6 when I voted and here is why.
WHen I looked at the shot, I automatically tilted my head to make the bedspread stripes go in a straight line down the center. I also felt that the pillow wrinkles didn't add to the overall picture and could have been left out or pulled tight to get rid of the wrinkles. The lighting is all focused on the top of the photo, I think an overall bright exposure on the whole strip line would have made this snap off the page at you. I believe that some of this could have been achieved in post processing.
This photo flows pretty good too with the exception of the color tones separating the two objects. If the color tones matched this would have been a great illusional photo of two objects blending to make a fluid scene.
