Comment by Qiki:
Ouch for the 12 1's that I got. Was it really that bad to deserve a 1?

I didn't vote in this challenge, but completely agree with Robert's comment and share your obvious frustration. Anyone who's ever examined Weston's shots realises that nudes were a significant part of his body of work. So for folks to vote in this challenge and then dole out 1s to nude shots is plainly idiotic IMO. Without the 1s you'd have finished with a 6+ score, which is what this shot deserved.

ETA: Glad to see the ridiculous 1s removed with the recalculation of votes. That's helped your score somewhat. :)

the 12 1's are presumably the nude-haters. All the nudes that finished above you got exactly 12 1's... I was one of your 10's. Totally one of the most faithful Weston images in the challenge. Original? No... But you nailed the tonalities to perfection.

Thank you all for the comments! After about 120 out takes for this shot, I finally got one that was worthy enough to get me.. well.. a 5.6. The highlights are a bit distracting and confusing with the DVD outlines as well as the focus being off a little. It was also hard to get the lighting right for the effect but not wash it out more than it did, but it was fun to do and a cool learning experience
