Well this is a very interesting picture, I remember seeing this during the challenge. I think your idea is excellent. Things that I might have tried base on your shot, is if you have her topless I would probably try pjs or underwear the jeans seems just a little weird with being topless. Also the subject of the knife is a little hidden by the tattoo distractions. I might have tried to destaturate and have some shine coming from the knife to draw in more attention. Or I might have even tried a black and white to see if it draws the knife out a little more in the shot. I do like the position and overall composition of the shot. I think from a voters point, because the subject is lot and the glow is very orange it took away from the score. I think you had a great idea and looking at your work I think you have some awesome ideas that we will continue see.
The first word that comes to mind - "Exhibitionist" Just don't understand why anyone would look out a large window half dressed. Don't know why you want to show off your tattoo.
Lighting effects really destroy this image and seems a bit out of focus.
Very interesting concept! But the orange cast is a problem, makes her skin color very unnattural. Also, it would have been neat if you could have had the blade reflect a light source, to draw the eye to the blade.
as is, doesn't do much for me. maybe in bw. her pose seems forced. for that matter, the image as a whole is very contrived. seems to be more about showing off the tattoos than anything else.
Can't vote... but this is a very interseting pic. I'm not sure that the toplessness, by itself is good. I'd suggest something more "nighttime" such as pajamas or panties & bra. Color balance is a tad off also.
