Fabulous shot. Excellent use of negative space! This should have done much better!

I would have like this shot more if it was cropped a little more,too much black,and it would have been nice to see more of her muscle for strength and power.

A very powerful photo, I gave it a 10. To me it looks like you might have lost just a bit of sharpness when you resized it but this does not take away from the photo much if any.

The photo has potential but there is too much negative space IMO.

Wow, this is beautiful. I think you could have put her a LITTLE bit more centered, but just a little. Still incredible photo either way.

I think that the pic would look better if the woman was centered and if her body was more exposed and not curled up.

I like the captured movement and contrast.

I like this one. A little sharper focus on her would have helped, IMHO.

Excllent composition, meets the challenge beautifully, and good timing as well. Kind of a shame the "rope" (whatever it is) is lost in the blackness. Nonetheless a fine picture which I graded highly.

This is an odd arrangement. I think I know what you are getting at, you want to
give the feeling of space and movement, and space FOR movement, apart from the strength needed to do this work, but I think you have left a bit too much space on the left. But the picture is still effective.

Nice use of empty space (Black Background)

She's so far right...would like to see her more centered. Good action shot.

Her pose would definitely show strength, not quite sure about graceful the way it looks right there.

Nice photo. Her arms are a bit disturbing.. lol Just kidding. Love how she sticks out from the black background.

Nice idea, great pose, but all that negative space is just a bit too much. I am almost looking at the large, black void more than the subject.

this one deserves a ribbon, nice capture

I really like the composition and how well the photo fits the theme. Colors and contrast work well. The pose lends quite a bit of tension which I like. Nicely done. 7

Wonderful use of negative space, but I would move the model a bit to the left in the frame. Not much, but positioned using the rule of thirds, This image meets the challenge subject perfectly.
