 Minimal is a challenge in itself.

(post challenge) I'd like to whine about minimal editing but it's really all my fault... the shoot was tough as the girl's never modelled before so between laughing and covering herself I had to shoot and direct her into poses, plus the lighting was horribly tricky as we were in a hair-cutting studio so lights everywhere... My idea for this was much more glamour style and no iPad but as usual we had to adapt to the situation. Thanks for the votes and comments.

Someone else was asking for a critique and I see I was your sole 10. I thought this was the best of the challenge. Good job.

Not a bad shot, girls never modeled before? I think she's found a career...

good idea but execution needs a lot more work. Crop out the black sliver on left, have model's face visible and straight on to camera. Ghosting on right of frame too, light looks drab.

This would have scored higher from me without that black bit in the bottom left.

Do they use iPads for that now?

If your back wall had the measurement lines, this would be great.

Lovely model and good concept for the challenge. The black triangle lower left edge distracts -- minimal doesn't allow cropping, so in-camera quick look at all the edges becomes important (a composition skill I frequently forget, which makes me more aware of it). Could use a bit more exposure to make the whites more glaring (befitting the dramatized setting). If in an auto exposure mode (where the camera tries to make majority of picture neutral grey), exposure compensation can do that (tweak based on preview or histogram, if the camera has these features).

Great idea and a nice shot, but you forgot to crop out the black thing on the left side. Still one of my top picks.

The annoying bit of black to the bottom left works really well in its job. I however like the image and the model.
