I don't see darkness in this theme.

for me this would have scored better if the light on her face and chest were not so harsh ..it takes away from the rope in her hands..i also dont care for the crop as it makes her look closed in and she needs room to be playful. hope i helped and good luck this scored a 6 from me on opening day...just going back to post comments

A little overexposed. The size of the file could have been bigger to see a better representation of the picture.

I'd like to see it full size. Next time use the full size allowed (640 pix).

Ropes, huh? A little kinky, but it sure meets the challenge!

This has a meaning in the word and the photo.

Unsure exactly what the message is here but this may be someone I'd like to spend time with this evening. :)

This has several technical flaws that will hold back it's score. The model's head, shoulder and chest is overexposed. Her skin color has unnatural yellowish skin as if the color balance is not right. It is unclear specifically what she is up to and the top of the little finger should not just tiouch the top of the frae the way it does. Make it either all in or all out but make concious composition decision one way or the other. The lighted area at the top of the frame above her leg is a distracting element in the image. The images small size does not help it score well.

i like the idea very much and i guess u have a few comments whats wrong with this so im not repeating this

the face, chest, and right hand are too bright. The area above the left knee is distracting - would have been better if the black background had covered this area also. You may try following the tutorial for resizing your DPC submissions too - just too small of an image here. Your idea of playtime in the darkness was a good one, just not executed very well.

Not really sure what this is trying to say on the subject of darkness. Poor composition, the eye is constantly drawn to the model's face, distracting from the rope in the centre, which is surely the portrayal of 'darkenss'? Good quality photo otherwise, though. 4

Face and torso too washed out

Lighting is too harsh. Interesting concept. The blow outs are very distracting.

sexy!

The short streak of bright on the top of the frame is very distracting... I'm also not keen on the blown highlights in combination with the completely lost shadow detail.
