This is a pretty good shot. My only complaint is that the crop at the top of the pic is waayyy too tight.

An 80's challenge outtake, perhaps? :) Love the lighting and colors on this. The expression is very jaded, though. not sure if it bothers me or not...

I love this - except for the background. She seems to be hovering in nothingness, like she was hanging in the void of space... I would far rather see her with a background...the front porch of a small farmhouse...in a large living room with a fireplace... in front of a window with a view, perhaps. Otherwise, this is a beautiful shot. The lighting is really great, her pose seems natural and comfortable, I like the B&W treatment. It's just the lack of a background (or perhaps it's a lack of context) is off-putting to me.

I like everything about this picture except for the hand placement. It looks as though she's trying to hold a wig on her head in a high wind! Having the hand placed more toward the back of her head would alleviate this look a bit.

Your whites seem overly bright, and there appears to be a little bleeding from the white shirt onto the black background. The pose isn't really flattering, and he looks really bored.

This image fits quite well with the challenge. I like the pose, good choice of outfit for this type of shot (even if she is popping out of it a bit!), and she seems very comfortable with the shot. The only thing I might think of to improve the shot would be to add a hair light or a high fill light to give some definition and detail to her hair and face.

The main detractors for me on this photo are the washed out color and the extremely awkward crop.

Very nice! I like to see an unusual concept executed well, and this does that to perfection. Love it.

The models is nice, subject placement is good, pose is good, lighting is good. However, this being a basic challenge where you knew you could not do spot editing, you could have taken 5 minutes and ironed the sheet. Or at least draped it to minimize or hide unintentional creases. Also, the crop is just a wee bit close at the top of the pic. About another quarter or half-inch of photo would have felt more natural. Because of the creases and the crop, this gets a 6 rather than an 8.

Even with all the colors on, the model is blending into the background. A lighter or more neutral colored background would have worked better to 'bring out' the model and separate her from the background.
