Self-portrait. It's red because my walls are red..a slow shutter and flash will fill your frame with whatever color happens to be around. It was very much night time.

Levels and I actually cropped.

i really like your approach , but the red tone (which suits the photo IMO) doesnt fit with the title/challenge.

Unique coloring, action pose and good use of the rule of thirds. Different interpretation of the challenge topic. Overall photographic quality is good.

Your presentation very interesting. The use of blur to convey the sense of action by your model is a very interesting idea that wil work for some viewers but not for others.

I like this shot and technique. For a second I thought I saw a face in the "shadows" on the left. I may need help.

I don't really like the effect here. It reminds me of fogged film.

I think I just lost the huge comment I left about your image by making it a favorite! Boo! Alright here we go again. I'm not seeing a connection to darkness other than the title, so I'm not sure what aspect you're trying to portray. Perhaps she's a dream girl? So someone you see dancing while you're asleep? That's the best I can come up with, but its likely not the interpretation you were looking for. That said, I really enjoy this image. It has a wonderful sultry look to it, which the use of the red and the model's expression helps boost. My one suggestion would be to crop a bit off the left side. While I think the red there does make for some interesting negative space, it just seems a bit too much, a bit too unbalanced. Perhaps cropping right where that dark triangle at the bottom left begins to form.. that way you still have an expanse of red but it isn't quite as much or as overpowering. So all in all I'm giving a 7, but I would've given a point higher if I was able to understand your darkness connection from what I was seeing. Still, very well done, thank you!
