nice idea, great lighting, but some remarks : this image in my opinion needs perfect symmetry, also in the background light, which is not the case. Also I see blue area's on the body which I find distracting, also because these are not symmetrical.

I really like the green light and the shadows on the face. Nice job.

I like this a lot. Firstly it was a cleaver idea. The editing really adds to the artistic feel of the photo. I am sure you will draw fire from many who will complain about photography vs digital art. Don't let it bog you down. I like this and it's among my top picks.

I don't know why, but I feel this image would've been so much more perfect had this been a man. This is one of my favorite images out of all the shots I've seen.

Now if I had to guess the photographer, I would hazard a guess that it was graphicfunk.

This has a real 70's glam rock vibe to it and I imagine to people that liked that style this would be a perfect ten.

For me it's a bit too unique for my tastes. The model pose is well executed - everything straight and in proportion. The elastic / rope is very well executed again.

the light i would like to see moved toward her front more, casting more light on her sides to give a hint f definition, as it is there isn't enough. the background really isn't to my tastes - but again i can give credit for it's apparent era ;)

I am very unsure about this - it really isn't the kind of photograph i go for (although I can see it's very well made)l, but there is something drawing me to it!!

Interesting. Dodging & Burning a little obvious here. Maybe a little more light on the model so it is not so dark, and just a sihlouette. Nice idea & well cropped.

I have been back to look at this photo numerous times, trying to decide exactly what to say. It's extremely powerful and emotional. The backlighting and background is very nice, but maybe a bit overprocessed. The pose is beautiful as is the use of the cord for the five-sided star. There is just a hint of silhoutted female genitalia visible, which is a bit of a distraction (at least to my male eye). But the overall impact of this photo is significant. Very good entry.
