man, now I want reeses pieces!

awesome photo, maybe you should have jacked the sharpening up past normal levels to a DPC level, haha, and I'd like to see it a little brighter

other than that, I think you did an awesome job not getting any blown highlights or bright reflections in a basic editing challenge, and the green background looks really good with the colored candy and gray bits

Battery in Perspective

hmm, I'm not familiar with the program you're using, but it looks like you figured out the sizing thing.

as for the photo, I think it would have faired better if you had put the focus on the front side end of the closest battery instead of the left-side one. DPC likes a really sharp focus point, maybe try a sharpening tool.

another suggestion I might have for you would be to use a colored piece of paper as a background to give this shot more interest.

I really like the shallow depth of field and the composition that you used; this was a hard challenge to do for your first time

As a general piece of advice for a newbie, DPC seems to like very colorful, very sharp images...

Anyhow, a 4.6 is not a bad score for your first shot, this is a really tough crowd and if you take everything here with a grain of salt, you'll be a pro in no time!

just ran across this & I realize you've moved on from this photo and probably don't want to mess with it again, but... I'd have to say I didn't notice the hair thing or the reflection of her face as being a problem. maybe her face could be lightened to match her body and the horizon straightened out just a tad (and next time, no shoulder blocking face).

that said, I think her bare feet and the jeans sliding off her butt are very sexy, I love your colors and beautiful setup with the lighting, plexi and background... looks like a magazine ad

I like that the right (her left) side of her face is oof, but I'd have to agree that I'd like a little more in focus chin.

beautiful colors, love the darkened edges and she looks like a natural born model : )
