Great pose and idea. The over exposed area on her breast is unfortunate and detracts from an other wise very fine image.

"Pentacle" with Rope

Great idea.. very orginail and nicely executed. The only thing I find a little distracting is the purple. It does add an element of colour and helps define her shape. Possibly if there were more of it, it would seem more integrated than it does now..... just a thought

THanks... but I expected this. Dark doesn't do well here. I think too many people have uncalibrated monitors. But I was pleased with the shot so I entered it. I appreciate your 10!

! Oh mY GoD... too funny.. This one should win just for the humour... that said. the crop is questionable in my opion.. I think it would have been better with the entire camera back showing... now to wipe the Coke off my screen...

NIcely done, the best fireworks shot of the challenge. You obviously know how to use your exposure settings! It's a lovely abstract in it's own right.

Just saw your thread... My comments are, of course, just my opinion.

First let me say, she is stunning and I think this is a very good image.

My suggestions:
I think the light is a bit harsh andcould have benefited from some selective diffusion.

Is that her arm? Is she holding her arms above her head? I'm not sure why you chose to pose her that way.

A simple head study would have been stunning. If you were trying to use her clothing as an element, I would suggest having a second dress (?) draped as a background some distance away from your subject. Letting us focus on her facial details.

I feel the light being warm is a very good choice. The small bit of background that is grey, does not go with that theme though.

Still a very nice shot with a lot of potential.
