big fat cold dark shadow

The image is exceptionaly sharp and makes a good B&W. Tones are very nice. Wish mine were as nice. The use of shadow is weak in this composition for this particular challenge and the sky is unrealistically darkened.

Wonderful use of shadow to frame your young subjects and environment. Beatifully done. One of the best of the challenge.

I'm always amazed when people like you come up with such creative challenge ideas. The tones and sharpness are incredible and technical image quality outstanding. The wrinkles on the lower back are a little distracting but this is a fantastic image. Kudos for such a great picture.

Top notch technical quality and an incredibly creative way to mee this challenge. Should be a ribbon winner.

Framed in sandstone

Actually, if this was taken in the Page, Arizona area it would be Navajo Limestone, I believe. Nice colors, good lighting and a perspective you don't often see in a slot canyon image. Perhaps this is Lower Antelope Canyon? Looks a bit oversaturated red to me but it is always hard to tell with these lower light level shots. I really like slot canyon photography. I have some upper antelope canyon images here:

Nice concept, good use of shadow and nice framing and composition. Could use a bit more contrast and it is unfortunate many voters will score this low because of the small image size.

Fascinating title and one of the more interesting nudes around. Lighting and shadows are well done. Making this a toned image works well.

Very well concieved B&W with a creative shadow. It might work even better if the bottle label faced the camera. Some viewers will find it distracting this way.

Two things... I'm not at all surprised that such an incredibly high quality image like this would be yours. I'm blown away it scores only 5.6. DPC voters never cease to amaze me sometimes. :(
