by JimiRose, an image I marked as a favourite some months ago was my inspiration for this image.
I did another edit which I liked a little more, where the background had been taken down to black - but fearing a rule-break for loss of background, I've carefully editing this to include just a little of the backdrop.
Post Challenge: Woohoo, a PB and a red! That's the third time a picture of my wife has got me on the front page; perhaps I should only put pictures of Nic into challenges and not bother shooting anything else!

Very creative indeed, any one can find an X in the street and just point and shoot,
But coming with a wonderful composition like this one, takes creativity for sure, very well done and you should be proud :)
That's a very clever composition and well exectuted. Nice you left the bg showing up - it lends some movement to the whole image...
Congratulations on a very deserved ribbon!
WOW! I saw this on the front page and was a bit like hmmm... that's familiar... I take my hat off to you, excellent execution. Thanks for the credit but I probably wouldn't have come up with this for the challenge so I can't really take much, this came out of your head. This has helped me to realise that I was more creative once upon a time and that I really should start applying myself more, so thanks for that, I'm going to try to get more involved again.
My girlfriend thinks her head being there is distracting, but I disagree. The look on her face is great, though I can't think of how to put it into words. Is it "what ya' lookin' at, foo'?" Yeah, didn't think so... I'm not too good with these things. 9
The photo looks very bizarre to me - I like that. It's almost like separate body parts rather then a single person. There are some weird brownish lines in the background but it may be just my monitor or a purposeful part of the image: 10
This is definitely one of the best in the challenge, IMO. I like the lighting for the most part and you did a good job of meeting the challenge using an unique approach to portraiture. Couple nitpicks: model's left arm is slightly not parallel, and I would also like to see a little bit more light on her feet since they seem sorta cut off as is. Maybe it's just my monitor, but I can see a bit of your background as well, which I'd prefer not to. Either way, strong photo.
