kind of wish the vignetting was even in all the corners, but still it's a 10

... is that you, heida?

Nice collection of browns, but something about it feels too setup rather than pulling us in to a shot making us ask what has happened. The overblown highlights don't quite work for me, although it does almost look deliberate.

Wonderful tones and I really like the pose of your model but I'm not sure that cutting off her legs was the right thing to do. Looks like your lighting did not cover the entire image area and left a couple of dark spots in the upper corners. I'm sure the teddy bear has some symbolic meaning, but for me, it's inclusion in the photo makes the image less poignant and reduces it's impact.

Very raw, emotional image.... the teddy bear adds a nice dimension.

Oh... Wow! The model's pose is terrific. The shot itself is really not that bad but something is missing... The tones are off a bit. Good luck!

Comment by ergo:
evocative piece, with the pose and the color tones. sight vignet in upper right and left corners are very small flaws here. and were it not for the high contrasty wall, i'd give this a 10. but a 9 for an effort that I feel exceeded 95 percent of the shots entered in the challenge.

hmmmmmmm what to say about this image...I generally like it..tones nice, set up ok, angle of body a bit awkward (feet chopped off) and dark areas in the top right and left corners distracting 5

Very moody, the light feels as though it just needs toning down a little to match the mood. For me this is stark
