This has an artistic feeling and I could see it in a gallery or as a backdrop to a magazine piece.

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: Very interesting image. The unusual POV really works and the wrap / fabric is fascinating. There are a few good example of off focus images in this challenge and this is right up there.

Critical stuff: Not a lot really - some of the positive stuff above means that we are a little confounded and because of that the image is a little difficult to interpret.

Overall: A very unusual image but one which I am pleased to have had the opportunity to view.

for me I like the softness that you have put on her head/upper body...but I don't like what it did to the plastic in the picture...kind of makes it look funny to me...sorry

I like the softness of this image. I like the way you processed it for B&W.

The power to create life should never be underestimated. Beautiful image - perfect lighting. A clear message. No doubt a 10 from me.
