Top notch technical quality and an incredibly creative way to mee this challenge. Should be a ribbon winner.

Actually, if this was taken in the Page, Arizona area it would be Navajo Limestone, I believe. Nice colors, good lighting and a perspective you don't often see in a slot canyon image. Perhaps this is Lower Antelope Canyon? Looks a bit oversaturated red to me but it is always hard to tell with these lower light level shots. I really like slot canyon photography. I have some upper antelope canyon images here:

Fascinating title and one of the more interesting nudes around. Lighting and shadows are well done. Making this a toned image works well.

Very well concieved B&W with a creative shadow. It might work even better if the bottle label faced the camera. Some viewers will find it distracting this way.

Two things... I'm not at all surprised that such an incredibly high quality image like this would be yours. I'm blown away it scores only 5.6. DPC voters never cease to amaze me sometimes. :(

After Settlement...

Good concept... champagne to celebrate buying or selling a house... but the technical implementation leaves much to be desired. Almost looks like the picture sufferes from camera movement during the exposure. The shadow of the bottle is distracting. The bottle needs to be in tack sharp focus to work. An idea worth considering would have been to have the bottl open with two champaigne glass filled nearby being held by two hands each coming in from a different side.

Not a bad idea. Brown tones and natural light selection is good. The huge overexposed reflection on that beautiful wood floor hurts this composition. Avoid overexposed ares in images unless it directly contributes to the theme of the image.

A marvelous composition. Wonderful perspective and pose. Subtle use of selective desat. The only defect is the face is slightly out of focus, but perfect otherwise.

Drying The Umbrella

Though not a big fan of desat shots since they are way overdone on this site it works well in this composition. The sharpness and bright colors of the umbrella makes anice contrast to the black and white background. Glad you did not go with a sepia or toned image, that would not have worked nearly so well. The technical quality of this image is outstanding. It should be a top finisher. Definite ribbon potential.
