Congratulations on breaking into the +6 score range from a fellow R707 user! Great capture and colours in this one. Don't you just love it when you can actually catch that moment the way you knew you could?

she looks mesmerized! love the compostion of this, and the B&W works well. The reflection on her arm is a little hot though.

good focus on the main candles. I think a closer crop of the reflection, say about to about half of the longest flame may have reduced the distraction that the reflected flames take from the upper part of the image.

like the idea and the set up for the shot. don't like the noise pixels apparent in his face and hand or the object in the lower right corner covering the bottom piece of the guitar and his arm. (duh, I see it now, that's his leg!)

took me a while to distinguish what was in this shot. I like the blur outside the ring but the inside reflection needs to have a sharper focus, IMHO

This is a really compelling photo to go with the title. The desat of the colour really works well with this one. Good focus and composition.

like the melted candle and clock. Perhaps a shorter DOF to blkur the background more would have improved the imapct of the shot.

Love to see shots like this without any post processing. Just goes to show that composition and timing (as well as a great eye!) can still make awesome photos. Great job!

Some of our favorites from Cambridge

lovely plates, I can understand why they would be favourites. The background and lighting for this shot does not do them justice. The crystal stork (?) would be better viewed with a darker colour behind it that would bring out the features better. The detail on the plates would probably also be more eye-catching with a dark background.
