For those looking for T&A, you'll be disappointed. This is a play of color & shape, so go from that point. I'm ready.

Doesn't work for me at all. Extremely discordant. It's not a portrait, not a person shot, not artistic or creative so I'm not sure what it's supposed to achieve or represent? Love to hear your interpretation.

I cropped out the bright( and to me distracting) lights in the upper right and lower middle. Focuses the eye more on the shapes and colors.

Looks like a shot taken on the sly with cellphone of a stripper in a club.
Real good way to get your ass beaten.

Yep, out of a series this one would probably be a throw-away. I see from your description what you were trying to show but there is not enough of the interplay of shape and colour to make that statement visually.

I agree with the other commenters, so dark I cant tell if its really a person... or maybe two

Looking at this a bit more I think the image has a lot more impact if you crop from the bottom to eliminate the bright light between her legs (as per Jwshelton's comment; the top-right spot light could stay in from my perspective). Perhaps brightening the image a little to show more of her body would also help.

The bar manager was a friend of mine, & encouraged me to try a few shots. He had one of the girls dance on our table, so instead of the same old shots, I tried something different. I took an extremely low angle & shot upwards. After taking the shot, I looked at it, the manager looked at it, & another friend looked at it. None of us could figure it out, which in itself made it interesting! It took awhile but we finally I.D.'d the pieces & parts.
To help you out, she was wearing a bikini w/cutoffs. You can see both breasts, arms & thighs.
Nothing sneaky about it; not with a NIKON D700 with a zoom lens. The subject found it interesting & even posed for more (normal) shots.
So if you're not into puzzles, this isn't for you.

It's not that I'm not into puzzles; I can see what it is. It just doesn't work

Initially you said, "This is a play of color and shape, so go from that point." Now you say, "If you're not into puzzles, this isn't for you." When I look at your photo just what is it that I'm suppose to look for, color and shape or puzzles?
As an aside, you had your NIKON D700 and zoom lens with you when you went into the bar. So, did the bar manager REALLY have to encourage you to try a few shots or was that your real motive for going there in the first place? Just curious.

Mike,
This images doesn't work, it seems the lighting, composition, etc is off. Not your best buddy.
