MULLIGAN! : should never have chosen to burn the left corner....
For those of you wondering, Pandora was the little girl in Greek Mythology who was charged with guarding a box with the bane of the world stored inside. She opened the box, letting all the demons/emotions escape(Despair, Hatred, Pestilence). The only thing remaining in the box was Hope.

I suspect that this is a classic example of a great 'art' photo which is just not voter friendly, but none the less a great photo. I gave it a '9' for what its worth...
This is an interesting take. The tones are not working for me, though. The grain adds interest, but the darker color in the lower left takes the thought of High Key away as the detail disappears.
I am not following the concept here. I think the over sat is just a bit much and the sideways crop doesn't in my opinion add to telling the story of the image.
I'm sure there's some deeper meaning to this image than what I'm seeing that relates to this challenge. It's very "artistic" with the high contrast and B/W approach. I do find the burned area of her shirt and pants to be distracting as it turned out grey and kind of jumps out - which is probably the opposite of the intended effect.
