Compostition/Content Great composition. I really like the way you arranged the manequins stacked up in the corner. Great use of props: hats, pillow and material. Really meets the challenge well.
Lighting Absolutely fantastic lighting. I would like to know how you set up the lighting. The shadows on all of the figures really define the shapes yet none of the shadows are too dark. I also like the light areas behind the hat on the left and behind the two heads on the right. The lighting made this shot.
Camera Work/Technical Good exposure and focus. Nice camera angle.
Post Processing It's difficult to tell what caused the grain in the image. I like the way the grain and the sepia give the image an old look. It is a strange looking grain when I zoom in on the image. I don't know what caused it. I tried highest compression and lowest quality and still couldn't get the grain in my image to look like yours, so I don't think it was the compression.
My Opinion I wouldn't want to see the image without any grain because it adds to the look of the image, but I would like to see what it would look like with maybe half the grain that it has now. Really great setup and execution. I ran your image through NeatImage and is really cleaned up the grain, you might try it.

| All those naked models!!! Very good job of hiding "Waldo" and let him be seen too. Good lighting and tone. One of my favorites this week. |

| Interesting composition. The use of black and white really works well for this picture. |

| Nice idea. The sepia tone helps hiding her. Seems a bit overcompressed. |

| very nice concept, but it seems compression has ruined the photo leaving artifacts and even blurring it some. |

| I realize that a color shot would have made the subject easier to spot, but the colors here look almost yellow rather than true B/W. |

| Very good! What would have been really cool is expose her more, but use real white makeup to disguise her more like the manicans. 8. |

| Nice concept and composition. The exposure gives an "old" feeling. Was that what you were going for? |

| Picture is a bit over-compressed (or is it your camera?) but you've done a great job with this one. |

| I really like the abstract idea for this photo. Teh color and set up was very nicely chosen as well. Great job with this photo! |

| This is the one I wanted to do but none of the shops around here had any manequins!! I am also surprised that you are the only person who did this. And you did it well too, you met the challlenge for sure. I see some artifacts here, coming from saving for the web at a too low a setting. Oh yes and I spotted Waldo in your photo :-) |

| Nice work - black and white is essential in hiding the person here I believe. Focus and composition are good, although the image does feel slightly lop-sided - too much on the right but not enough to appear deliberate. |

| Good job, i really like the colaboration of the staues and dummies. the brown really gives it a stone texture! |

| I think you really captured the essence of the challenge with this photo! |

| yes, i can! that's pretty good! i like sepia tone of the picture, too, but it is a little "noisy" and "pixellated"... |
|

| I like the idea, but a clearer picture would have been better. I think this may be over sharpened or possible it is just grainy. |

| I thought of doing something like this! But I never had a chance! Great job! |
