Nice lighting on the three foreground flowers. Could have used just a bit more painting on the purple flower, which fades into the background just a tad too much, imo.

The Wraith

I like the blue cast the light gives to this, with the red light coming through the windows. Still trying to figure out if the wraith by the door is you lighting the structure of something else ...

Hot tea

Cool idea ... sparklers behind the tea pot? I would have liked just a tad more light on the face of the pot, or seen the whole thing go to black as a silhouette. Looks kind of in between here. Still, one of the better shots in the challenge.

Love the soft light on this and the variable patterns of light on the petals, almost looks like it was shot underwater.

Hibiscus Illuminare

Beautiful job painting the flower, nice soft shadows and highlight details.

The Rock
by bryanbrazil

Comment:
Absolutely beautiful ... well composed, perfectly exposed for both the rich silhouettes of the trees and the soft reflections in the water. The use of a flashlight (?) to brighten the rock adds foreground interest and pulls everything together. Anyone who questions whether this is painting with light is simply out of their mind.

Nicely seen. Good colors and composition.

Why are you taking my photo?

Great eyes, but the background kills this for me.

The Departed

Comment:
Interesting idea, but the second image is kind of lost in the trees due to the heavy processing, though perhaps that's how you intended it to give it a more ghostly feel. Might have been better if the subject wasn't posing for or looking at the camera.

The Odd Couple

Interesting subject, but would like to see more of their faces or, from the angle you chose, more of the setting to put them in context. Nice BW conversion
