I like the lighting effects on your subject, and unlike many of the "photographs" in this challenge, yours actually reflects a song. Very nicely done.

Good lighting on the model that shows off the body form - Model's sultry pose matches the sultry sound of Santana's song/music. Good choice in going with the B&W for it really shows off the way the light falls (shadows and highlights) plus it ties in nicely with the 'color' of the song it alludes to. I think that the composition just needed one little thing that would give it a stronger tie to Halloween WITHIN the shot rather than relying on the title so much....not sure what I could suggest perhaps a small bottle that reads 'witch's brew' or a small temporary tattoo of a witch's cauldron or the words Salam. A witch's hat would have been too much - a subtle touch is what I think would work best so as not to overpower the model.

Straight on well taken image. I just wish you'd Halloweened it up a bit! Where's the blood & gore? Where's her pointy hat? LOL!

Thanks Roseann! I'm not unhappy with my score, I didn't get any votes of 1 or 2. Just surprised it dropped so much in the final hours.
