Simply beautiful and crisp. Only fault I find with it is the van makes you realize this isn't 1940. But seriously nit picking aside I really like this. I wasn't sure where this photo was from but first thing I thought of was Richmond and Raliegh, then I noticed the Fells Point Sign and I know I'm not to far off, its a very nice capture of the southern charm. I'm still expecting to see one of the Walton's come out a store. 10 from me for capturing so much charm.

I saw your post in the forum and I understand completely your reasons for being upset. This is simply beautiful and seriously I think you would have done a lot better had it been a members challenge rather than an open one.

All the 1's probably came from those who just don't get art and dislike nudes. Don't let this stop you though. keep up the beautiful work.

Cute image...Definately a delicate job to create your "cheese" so obviously it fits the challenge.

I really like this but I think it would do better with a little more lighting just seems a little to dark and you have a really strong shadow in the background. Aside from the darkness everything looks good. You have a good focus and lots of detail.

Very creative and nicely done.

Nice image. It's crisp well in focus. Nice detail to the dogwood.

Your composition however is so so. First try cropping in on the right side to get rid of the extra stem. Doing that will eliminate your biggest distraction.

There is something else I am seeing going on with your background and I can't really say what it is but I'm seeing stripes of two different shades of white. Not sure what it is but seems to take away from the berries.

I do though like this image, and yes it does fit the challenge.

Beautiful. Simply stunning. Its hard to say what could be done to improve something so pretty I have to actually get nit picky to even find flaw with it. There are two small spots just left of center near the bottom that just look almost like a hot pixel. Both spots easily retouched, and like I said I was gettig nit picky just to find that.

This is a beautiful image right down to the lighting everything was executed well.

Nice composition very creative.

Now as for lighting its to strong...you have too much shadowing going on. Also not sure what is up with your background but it doesn't work too bad you don't have the same black in the back as you have under the pencil.

As for being delicate I can see it here. It fits the challenge.

Hope to see a lot more of this type of creativity from you in the future.
