Greetings from the Critique Club };-)
Initial thoughts
Fantastic shot, one of my faves this week, meets the challenge
Composition/ Content
Personally when I originally saw this shot I loved it. I really thought it was a ribbon winner. I like most everything about it. The softness of the lighting and tones give it a haunted look that is very appealing.
Background
The lighting is excellent but there is one spot just above you that is a bit hot. I'm not sure you could have done better though.
Camera Work - Technical
Focus seems good and the contrast is excellent for all of the white you have here. I know that some folks didn't like the squares in the cloth where you leaned against it but I think that adds to the shot.
Digital Processing - Technical
Once again, nothing of consequence to improve.
Fits The Challenge
Definitely fits the challenge well.
My Opinion On The Photo
I was tremendously surprised to see that my shot finished higher than this one. I am a big fan of yours and this shot in particular. Keep up the great work.
I would be happy to talk further about this shot if you would like to contact me.

Thanks a lot for the comments and votes.
The description of this photo tells how it's done. Just want to add to that, that I used a 500 Watt worklight on a stand at about 4 ft distance.
I did try some shots whith a more soft lighting and with the light at a longer distance, but it made the image look flat and less dramatic.

| You need to pay attention to details, such as a straight and smooth background. That would have improved this photo immensely. You need better, more evenly distributed light. Personally I don't like the way you hid Waldo. But that's just me. It's nothing like the Waldo books way of hiding him - out in the open but so hard to spot, among all the other people, places, and things. |

| My fav foto this week hands down. Love the folds in the draped sheet. A small thing , but I personally would like the hands portion a tad more off centre. Another very minor quibble is the squarish texture embedded in the sheet. I find this attracts my attention and diverts it away from the power of the delecate figure. The concept is superior to most of the shots of this week. Technically a very good shot. Tons of expressive power in this image that speaks well of your creative talent. |

| I like this effect, although there may be a bit much in the backlighting - the person is too visible for this type of shot. Nice work. |

| I like this a lot. Great lines, in both the conceled person and the sheet. |

| This is SO good! If people know anything about photography I´m sure you will win this week. Great composition. Perfect in b&w. The low contrast is perfect. One of the best for weeks. Good luck! |

| Awesome photo. Looks just like a ghost. I like the canvas texture too. I think the light should be a little more even to get rid of the harsh highlight. I would like to know how this effect was achieved. |

| Lovely! The gauzy quality is really powerful. Such an evocative image, could be interpreted as either sad or hide-and-seek-playfulness. |

| needs a tighter crop on top... I would like to play with the brightness and contrast a bit also, but I like the idea and set up |
