This is great, stick to your own creativity and don't sway to the DPC masses, as a photographer you need your own style. Well done.

Would of been cool with a little front feel and to make the backlight more natural i.e. place the model on a roof top and have the sun behind her. Nice idea though but a little too staged for my taste.

p.s. The light is where my eyes go to straight away and I'm sure that was not your intention seeing as her upper body is more interesting.

p.p.s some subtle dodging and burning on that silk dress would of great.

Cool shot, my highest vote. Would of liked it if the higher quality of light carried on past the main character, or there was a low DOF used. Well done.

A keen eye you have, but, you can actually see the one on the right under the blood smear the light has blown it back a little but it's there and the one on the left (left side of picture) is actually just peeking into center at the bottom there, he has weird nipples. Ribs, his don't show, simple. I take your point about the chest being a little bare, it's eye catching and could do with a little more blood smearing like lower down. Thanks for the input.

Not to worry that's cool. I like just showing my style and if it wins then great! I'm also not too into gore so I understand, but knowing how it was done doesn't freak me out as much ; )

First post and missed a trick with the naming of the shot... oops!
