Critique Club Review:

An interesting twist to the challenge. I'm surprised this didn't do better in the voting. Too bad this wasn't an advanced editing challenge, you could have cloned out the writing that I and other commenters found a little distracting. Since you couldn't get rid of the writing, perhaps more writing added to the bag might have helped. (Who knows, "Contents 1 human" or something like that.

As it is this is a very creative take on the challenge, and a far cry from a simple back-lit exposure. I like the lighting, the pose, the bag really makes the whole thing work well. The noise in the picture adds to the scifi-horror-mystery atmosphere of the piece. I like the way everything else is eliminated from the piece.

I think the frame may have cost you votes. There is really nothing wrong with this one, but there are voters who hate frames. (They originally were not allowed.) And, while the frame does not detract, it does not add a lot to my eye. Hence it may be the source of some of your 1's and 2's. I can't think of any other reason why anyone would vote low on this picture.

Congratulations on a very creative, and nicely done entry.

Perfect, perfect...the writing did take away from the image just a tad..sort of destroyed my disbelief.

BUT!!!!!

The creativity and wonderful result deserve much better scores. This is a perfect example of great photography not being "DPC Centered"

Dont change a thing..except maybe the writing on the curtain :-D
