I cannot believe this is a plastic bag. When I voted on it I thought, scarf, maybe a bridal veil. Well done.

I really like this idea. I think I would've liked it better if the surface had been pure white. The lighting is perfect.

This is why I loved the 80's. I can remember being a young man walking by the local aerobics studio and just standing and staring. Deserved to be at least a 6 overall. I probably would have given you a 7, two bonus points for the girl- 9.

Lighting is good. Almost a couple of blown highlights, but controlled very well. Nicely set up, nice PP.

Body & Lines

I like this shot. Dark, lighting is great, leaves alot to the imagination- maybe too much for some people.

I think one thing that may have hurt it a little in the challenge is that it is a little out of the box for lines. Don't get me wrong, I think it is a great entry for this challenge (certainly meets challenge), but somehow I'd bet that a few of those two's, three's or fours were looking for "LINES!!!" and didn't find them here.

I didn't vote in this challenge- Lazy, lazy, lazy. I would've probably given you an 8 on this. In looking at the challenge there are at least 6 images that scored way too low (at the same time I see that many that think scored high).

Since you were nice enough to mark my last comment as helpful, I'll give a real comment on this one.

I'd probably take out the light pole in the back. I think it would still be okay, even with a phantom light source at the back- might even be the moon, who would know. In addition I'd probably play with levels a little, go for a little overall darker and tighten up the contrast a little. I like the framing, nice shot, fairly moody as is (hazy night?) Just some of my personal opinions.
