Thought this was a great, humorous, take on the Challenge...somewhat abstract...focused on the Zipper...for the Freedom of release and relaxation, Hope it brought a smile to your face.... :)

I like the idea of this shot, but there are a couple of things that IMHO could make it just a bit more powerful...a discernable body instead of the blackness, and making the diagonal just a bit more angled up on the right end (corner to corner). The lightest parts of the jeans are a bit bright on the bottom right corner. Good idea...:o)
Boy do I know that feeling. The bottom of the shot appears a little blown out and perahaps a color other than black might have worked better, but the point is well made.
Love the focus on such a small detail. Composition is just prefect. Great choice to have model wear black Tshirt so that shadows and Tshirt merge. Texture and colour are excellent. Given how often I have to slip open the top button when eating too much in one or another restaurant I can really identify with the feeling of freedom this image conveys! 8
