This is almost last minute for me ... in Iceland the time is 01:33 and I took these photos two hours ago. I have been changing my mind every minute, what picture I should submit but finaly I desided to submit this one ... hope that people will like how the film rolls up in the end and also that people like that white spot under her back...
I also want to thank this girl thousend times for being my model and her name will be kept secret.

The film I used was Fujifilm 800 ASA ;)

Greatly underrated image. Beautifully done. I do agree that it should be 640 pixels wide, though.

Greetings from the Critique Club@@@

First of all, let me congratulate you on your originality and imaginative take on the challenge. I think the white skin with the black film wrapped around certainly suits the challenge. The natural wrapped in the man-made even creates the contrast on a 2nd level. The composition is great. The shadowing under the body adds to the contrast. The curl of the film adds a fun nuance to the overall abstract sense of the shot.

My main critique would be that the image is just too small. You could have 640 as your largest pixelation and could make it up to 150 kb as well, so it would make for a much crisper, impactful image.

I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future! Judy

I like this concept, you need to explore it some more.

Good contrast between background and film strip (ha ha - I think I just got some subtle humor in your photo? or not). Not a real fan of nudes such as this, but I'm sure it will do well with the male voters.

Interesting subject and title. Nice clean high key shot, with good highlights. Lighting feels a little flat to me. 8.

Interesting idea, nice black and white.

Good balance between light and dark. It is a bit small and it lacks a bit of emotion for me. 7

This is my blue ribbon winner. I love it. Too bad the pic is small, but the idea is neat. What is that celluloid stuff wrapped around her though? It stirs something in me, but I haven't seen stuff like that for years.... 10

Very nice black and white. Interesting composition. The simplicity really adds a nice dimension to the image. I gave a 6.

This is just bloody great! Fantastic composition, contrast, focus, lighting. Excellent entry - and an image I'd be proud to have in my Portfolio. My favorite entry for this challenge.

Wonderful shot, though (how many times have you heard this one so far?) could be a bit larger.
