Whooo! What an awful shot - I can't believe people post such crap on here. 1

I am, of course, joking. This is great stuff. I love black and white figures. Looking at the top 2/3 of this image it is a clear 10 from me -my gripe is with the lower 1/3rd (just under the navel) I feel it doesn't work and isn't necessary to have the female genitalia in the shot - her legs are bent over each other protecting herself from the camera, which in turn has made them extra thin in width - this looks odd with her body - almost as if she is tapering out of the frame.

I would also crop in on the top a bit more -overall a tighter crop I feel would be better.

Having said all that -this image is one of the best in the challenge and it very well done.

Best of luck

JP the stoopid one.

This shot has soo much emotion attatched to it. Its pure, angelic, peaceful. The way that the girl is tiling makes it look like she is about to fall down, but peacefully .. its as if she were taking her final breaths .. a little odd I know, but it does have that impression.
Good luck with this one .. its awesome.

Lovely and quite tasteful. Perhaps a tad less makeup- it may look more natural.
