 I've always been a fan of Led Zeppelins music.
Everything they did was about getting laid and with that thought in mind, I tried to imagine what the prevailing attitude of the band members was towards women. Black Dog's lyrics don't really support the image but the title does and to me the image says alot about their body of work and general attitude.

I gave this a 7. It was just strange enough to intrigue me. :)

HAHA - I knew that was Susan. Excellent shot. Should've been top 5 for sure.

The eyes and expression lift this image from a "strange idea" to a "totally unique perspective"... Lighting works very well too. I can't seem to decide on the green color that's been kept on the iron...

LOL. Nice fit with the song, and looks like you put a fair amount of work into it. To me, the staring straight into the camera doesn't work quite as well, since it keeps the image a bit static and loses the sense of movement and voyeurism that the song is about.

I have to give props for the setup and originality.

This is mildly disturbing such that I find it fascinating. The tones, the contrast, the composition, all excellent. A very powerful image.

Excellent interpretation.

Like the concept and nice lighting. It took me a moment to realize what the green bars were supposed to be. Might be better if a little more of the cage was shown. Also don't really like the hand hanging on to the bar. Since it's the brightest thing in the photo that is what grabs my eye first.

Bizarre. Very striking photograph, but not sure how this illustrates or interprets the song. It's cool, though.

Damn you're ballsy! I have to say - that's flippin' awesome.

Truly surprising entry. I think it 'speaks'. Technically I'd have liked the lighting to work better on the eyes.

The texture on the hand is wonderful.

Just a fantastic striking image. I hope it scores well.

wow I'm really not sure what to make of this. It's a technically very nice portrait and then... I'm not sure what you are trying to make the viewer feel (such as an underlying message), or if you were just going for visual stimulation. Perplexing...
