Nice idea, well executed. Would be better if the shoes weren't chopped off.

this is a cool, fun picture, but I don't consider it a portrait. Clearly, your model is just another prop putting across your concept. still, I'll give you a 6.

Interesting take on the challenge. Title is great. The positioning of her legs looks a little akward to me.

Great concept and layout. I would have liked to see all of the bed or crop it more. There is a bad tangency with the front post and the edge. The same with the model's right foot.

Yes it does, good shot, cool idea

I love this! the idea is unique, the setup is well executed. I do wish that your model had a more interesting look on her face, maybe a raised eyebrow while holding and looking at a too-small-teacup.

It's definitely a photo that makes me say "why didn't I think of that!?" ;o)

That must be the biggest woman I have ever seen.

Nice job with the background...no lines and you still got some shadow.

I would have her toes showing on her left, like she just kicked off her shoe. Creative idea, well done, good looking model.

Very cool! I like the perspective and composition very much.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The pose looks really awkward and her feet aren't fully in the frame. But that is the point. Great job. Bumping to a 9.

Great crop. How funny is this? Lighting really works well.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/01/2006 02:42:43 PM
I find the model has too many shadows on her face and neck. I also find the close foot to be too distracting. My eye always ends up wandering over to it and I don't find the bottom of the shoe is visually appealing. But on the plus side, I very much like the idea - keep working on it.
