I like the hair and the green background. Neat effects. The body, though, strikes me as Barbie, and is not as interesting. Points for trying something different, though.

Going through and commenting on all my 5 votes, as I find this type of photo usually receives the least amount.

Even given the challenge subject, I feel this photograph has been far too over-processed for my tastes, entering the realm of digital art.

Most viewers will see nothing wrong with this mage that even hints that it needs to be disqualified. Midtones are good and the framing using the lower wall is an excellent idea.

This does not look like a true B&W. It looks more toned. Contrast seems slightly weak but not bad. Photographically, the placement of objects in the frame is fine. and the curtained enclosure is well placed.

Voters will have difficulty making a strong connection to the darkness theme and probably will vote it lower because of it. It is fascinating to have an outdoor bed complete with formal lighting in a cave-like enclosure. It certain should give voters plenty to think about. :)

The main technical flaw is the overexposed part of the curatin that is in direct sunlight. It would have been better if you had went and pulled that out of the sunshine before taking the picture.

Wow....she is definitely "out of this world!". Most won't care for the PS treatment but it is entirely appropriate for this challenge, I feel. 7

I guess this is one of those love it / hate it photographs, unfortunately I'm in the latter category.

I have a number of pet hates in DPC, one being toys, another being excessive post processing. You just happened to hit both. At least you didn't have a pet cat in there too ;-)

Afraid you lost me with this one. I'm sure there's a photo in there someplace. But the post processing is beyond the pale for me.

somebody SAVE Barbie!!!! I think you may have overdone it on the effects. I have been guilty of that in the Darkness Challenge myself. Don't feel bad, but this is way tooooo much.
