I had this idea for several days but couldn't go to the place where I wanted to do the shot, so I just stood in front of a bathroom door. I used one of my husband's white dress shirts, with the collar turned in, buttoned and then slipped over my head backwards. I kept my hands inside the sleeves. I put a belt up around my chest to create the buckles that were really used. I set the 10 second timer and voila.

You are just so creative and imaginative. I agree that this should have finished highter. I can easily see this on a movie poster!

Another creative effort! It always amazes me how you manage to take everyday objects and make them so special. Like the darkness. Good job.

Should have finished much higher. Still a very cool shot that fit the challenge perfectly.

I had this in my highest rated group. Hard to understand how this finished with just an average placing.

Excellent use of light and grain...nice and tense...I particularly like how we cannot see the face, just a vague outline of the hair...nice work.

This is wonderful! The darkness and the noise are perfect for this shot!

Nicely done but a poster type orientation (crop) would make this a slightly better score...

This is terrific. It has great lighting and composition, and the post processing is jagged-edged (i.e. just right). Maybe the most instructive thing is how much more convincing it is to not show the face, rather than to do the conventional thing and try to simulate a suitably manic and tortured facial expression. It's a fact well understood by exotic dancers; what you don't reveal can be much more stimulating and memorable than what you do expose.
I like this photo very much, and I'd no doubt like the movie, too. 9.

I think I would loved it more if it wasn't too dark and out of focus. I like the idea though.

Wicked...great work

Great entry. I probably would have bumped up the highlights a bit to be more eye catching like what movie photos tend to be but otherwise perfect.

Very disturbing. The angle of her head (or what seems like a tilt) adds to the drama. Well done.

my first impulse is that I'd like at least a hint of a face, but what the hell, I'm game for a daring indie movie that might be more psychologicall than physically violent. Good job. This poster is more exciting and raises more questions than most indie films.

I like it! It LOOKS like a movie poster, with an appropriate movie title. Love the mood. The sepia tones. GOOD LUCK!!!

very good...what I am looking for in this challenge is for a creative 'wow' shot that would go on a movie poster. I think that's what the challenge is all about...this one does well
