A nice spin on an eye shot. It becomes a story here instead of merely a documentary shot of the eye. Love the color, and intent look. Mystical.

Hi Karmat!!!

ahem.. Okay..

Initial: cute idea.

Composition: Excellent. Use of Negative Space works in that the "kisses" tag leads my eye into the white space, and the white space pushes my eye back to the green wrapping.

Technical: I like the use of lighting... no harsh shadows, although I do wish I could better see the outline of the tag.. Sometimes wishes cannot come true - I realize this - but with the background so white, I wonder if any other lighting position would boost the less white outline of the tag. (does this make sense?). I even wonder if you could have 'cheated' by lighting touching the edge of the tag all the way around with a green or light blue marker. (Okay. I'll let it go.. now I sound obsessed).
The use of the slight shadow grounds the subject - so that it doesn't look like it is floating.

Overall good. Limited in keeping my interest, but cute.

Hi Nards!!
Okay,

Initial: Nice! I like how my eye "wooshes" into the deepest part of the photo following the lines of the guitar strings. I like the rich natural wood tones. (Personal thing).

Composition/Technical: The composition works for me. I think it is perfectly place/framed. The colors and detail are good. I think there is a bit of over-sharpening perhaps? Doesn't look grainy or dithered, just a bit stair-stepped especially around the knobs in the foreground, and a bit on the strings. The use of DOF is excellent.

Can't say I'd do anything else to this. I would only suggest to clean up the quality.. although it isn't horrible, just not 'perfect' ;0)

Great use of motion, and this is elevated above others in that it also tells a story too many are familiar with! ;0)
Great set up.. great tones...excellent use of imagination and imagery.

neat idea. slow down the shutter speed just a tad to show the moving ones in motion and the virtually still ones in the midst of the chaos.
