Nice colors, challenge met, good modelling. Even cooler if sides had been straightm like lower elevated camera.

From the threads I've read, some voters are suggestig that peoople are not 'things'. I hope this doesn't stop this image grabbing a ribbon. It is far and away my fav of the challenge.

Wow, this is a really cool shot. What a great, creative idea. To me, that looks like maybe a self storage unit? Works good :-) Looks like it naturally creates a really interesting lighting effect. This is just a really engaging image. The placement of the subject is great. You've really made the centered comp work well here. In some way, the model works in this room, yet it still has this way surreal out of place feeling. Hehe, and I gotta know, what did you have to bribe 'em with to pose for you? :-) Actually, it looks like it was a real fun shoot. I really like this, great job!

What an interesting combination of subject and room. Looks more like a statue than a person to me. Something that's on my mind here is the very pale skin, which I presume was intentional. 7 for now.

Interesting concept. Good toning for your purpose.

Awesome photo ! I like the blues used. It balances the photo and makes it have that water feeling. Nice photo !
