Meh, this should have been in the top three for sure. The warm tones exude warmth even though the gal is nude.

I like how you played with the horizontal and vertical. Almost like an optical illusion. Great stuff.
Probably even nicer without the shoes ;-).

Can't see, in my opinion, this image not taking the blue ribbon. It's moody, challenging, fascinatingly lit, spacious, nicely tinted, scratchy and absolutely appropriate for a square shape.
About this scratchiness, how is it achieved? I like the deliberate scruffiness and visual dissonance it imparts. My two favorite images in this challenge, this one and "it takes forever", utilize this effect.
