Creative shot. Simple approach creating a nice atmosphere. However I feel the white area on the right is a bit overexpose which impacts the balance of the photo.

Good on the legs, but the sheets/background doesn't work for me.

meets the challenge rather noisy possibly from the editing.

Great smoothness in the legs, nice clarity and softness. I notice that your background is 2 different color tones, I am wondering how this was lit. Good luck in the challenge.
