Yeah, how DID he get out the door? LOL he probably went out the back door, right? What I like about this is the "victims" face. It looks great! She did a good posing job. Nice photo overall!!

Compositionally, I think you have done well to include enough context to help develop the story, but simiplified the shot enough that the "victim" isn't lost in the details.

Technically, the focus is good, and the lighting gives it that "almost morning, been here all night" feeling. I couldn't help but chuckle over the pose is very stiff comment. Woudln't that indicated that you succeeded in making her look really dead? I do agree that not being able to discern the edge of the model from the floor is a bit disconcerting. She looks dismembered. Maybe is she was wearing a different color, or if there was just a bit more light on her. If you were going for the dismembered look, you did well.

Overall, a good shot, and it definitely meets the challenge.

Yikes - one night not standing.
(sorry)
Body looks just a tad too posed. No matter, still a good shot for this challenge.

Good shot except for the lighting.

So he dressed her? How'd he get out the front door?

pose is very stiff I thought she was a mannequin at first.

very dark!!! but that's what you intended, right? I wish there would be just a little separation between the floor and the 'victim'

OK image. I am not digging how the blacks all dissapear into each other. But works well for the challenge overall.

I like the darkness of this image.

Lighting on the door distracts from the scene. The legs take up much of the photo, but the interesting details are on the arms and face. Perhaps having the body in a different position would help. I like the color/tone of the body. The cuts look interesting.

I like the concept and make up but the composition and setting could have been a bit more interesting - 7

to me this is more of a dead body than a scene, I would have enjoyed seeing more of the area and and something else to tell the story.

a bit dark for my liking but tells the story.

Love the mood for this type of shot. Like the dark and haziness over the legs. No vote, I'm in this one.
