For me, this is more leading lines than centered...

Having the light tent in the frame is a bit odd, but it somehow works. Just feel you lost detail in the highlight.

Salvador Dali did illustrations on this classic. Dreamy comes to mind.

The title brings this up a notch for sure. Are we not supposed to notice the square or what? Thanks for the smile.

Originally posted by bobnospum: I am confused with why this placed so low. While I did not think it was a top pick -- I had about in the middle with my scoring. The 3 ladies tell an interesting story and it meets the challenge, unlike several other submissions. The background and the hand blocking the face were slight detractions, but in no way is the a brown ribbon photo. Ahhh welll.... DPC.

Really the challenges (for me) are just suggestions to create the photos I believe in. Really I am not very interested in the scoring.
Anyway, thank you very much for your comment
