Well look who's photo I get. :) I saw this one during voting and really liked it. I'm not sure what really it is that I love about the shot, but I think it's the sheer simplicity of it all. Dark shirt and skirt and light background and skin. I think it really works for the challenge.
The pattern on the skirt is pleasing and I love how you placed the subject to the right of the photo leaving the negative space to the left. I think that works really well here.
The lighting is perfect for the shot as well as the challenge. I think that the darks are perfect, and the whites are also perfect. Great contrast and nice range.
Focus and clarity are also right where they should be for the feel of the image.
I like the vertical grain filter. I'm not usually a fan of filters, but this one is so subtle that it looks like it could have came right from the camera itself.
I really do like this. My only nit pick is that we can't see the other foot, so it almost looks like it's been cut off at the bottom, although one can assume that the foot is just covered by the skirt, it also doesn't look like she's standing on anything, so kind of hovering. Still an A+ image. Great job.
