can't get much more of a still life than this… I did a more traditional morgue toe tag shot as well during this shoot (this was for a "Feet" challenge), but my model suggested we try this casual pose cause it was funny.

You have obviously taken time and care over this compostion (unless of course you are actually a mortician, in which case get back to work and stop messin' with the bodys!) This picture works very well, the label is key to the success I think. Well done, deserves to do very well
Nice concept, good title and neat execution. Detail on tag is a nice touch and of course the twist of the legs crossed is a master stroke.
My only negatives are: 1. the feet look a little out of shape (sorry) but then I thought - why not? Why the hell does everything have to be just perfect on this site? It could be anyone under there - so that's now a positive! 2. The overxposure is just a little to 'styleless' if you forgive the expression. I'd like to have seen either a more clinical feel to the feet also, or a bit more depth (through some sensitive burning) to darker areas with some higher contrast.
For me though it's one of my favourites and I hope it does well (though not too well!!).
; )
I like the lighting and all white background and shroud...it gives the appearance of death but I assume that with your model's feet crossed this image is more tongue-in-cheek. Yet, if you read the tag it's message is sobering and sad (blunt head trauma) and so I think you're message is kind of confusing.
finally someone with a wicked sense of humour and not just another corny title! nice lighting and composition, too - I really love the parallel toe arrangement
A little graveyard humor : )
I think though that morgues are usually more dimly-lit than this ... It might be more realistic with different lighting, but you've definitely captured the main subject well.
