I love the consistency of the rules here.

Comment by Denielle:
I think the title of this works. But for me, the way she is standing is just odd. Perhaps a different pose and I would have scored this higher.
And I'm not fond of the coloring of the photograph. I guess the intention was for it to be "aged", especially since it's such an old story... but I don't like it (JMO).
Gave it a 5

Nice toning and yes, her clothes are gone wtw. Shame you didn't feature her beautiful hair and face more, the hips and abdomen get first look because her stance is a little awkward. 5.

I cannot imagine how this novel inspired you to take this picture unless you found the title suitable for some kind of image of abandon (that again does not have one thing in common with the novel).
The photo is ambitious but I find a few details very distracting such as the white lighting (halo) on her right arm and dress. The tattoo is another unfortunate thing that does not have to do with you.
I am in 2 minds about score here. I do not like the staging, the lack of expression ...
I give it a 5 in this context - a lot of lesser shots get 5 for different reasons, but I try to look at each image without comparing to the entire pool

Loose connection to the chosen book, but I'll give it to you. Wish the image was a little better thought out in terms of lighting (flat), composition (distracting fence and building) and processing (brownish/yellow monotone isn't very effective).

She's lovely, and nicely set off by the DOF.

This cat reminds me of one of our beloved "Miss Kitty". She was part of our family for 14 years. Sweet looking cat.

This is a cute photo. I think the DOF is a bit off. The sand and leafs in the foreground are in focus which throws me off a bit. If you can play around with your camera and DOF your could get the cat in focus, foreground out and still achieve a good looking photo. Not sure on your set up though...
