Comment by focus:
The idea definitely works (to meet the theme). The focus seems a bit blurred (I've looked at it on more than one monitor) and the colors a bit washed out. Take this into Photoshop (or whatever you use) and then sharpen and saturate.

I like the idea... a little too busy and lots of the colors seem to blend together too much.

Very nice. I really like the angle of this. Almost like I'm getting ready to blow out the candles myself. Beautiful focus on the cake and softer focus on the background. can still tell what it is, but it's almost like the background could be the "wishes" Lighting is beautiful. There is a small glare on the purple balloon in the back, but it does not distract from the photo, and i don't know if it could be avoided. Great framing. The curly ribbon on the right goes right along the side of the photo. Overall great photo. Congrats and good luck in the challenge.

Well, I'm a little surprised that there were two photos so similar and one placed 14th while the other placed 91st. Just shows that the idea was very good, but the voters are very picky about lighting.
The shadows were caused by a very old desk lamp. It was either that or overhead lighting so...
Congratulations to everyone. There were some great shots in this challenge. I managed to pick 4 of the final 5.

Perhaps my eyes are playing tricks on me, but I see a slight discoloration at the left side of the woman's head. Otherwise, great photo.

very nice composition... i like the use of the pencil in this shot quite a bit :) I believe the shadows that are traversing her back diagonally look slightly awkward... I'm not sure if there was a way to eliminate that or not... :) - jmsetzler

Great concept and lovely light and colour. There are just a couple of lines across her back that are a little distracting. Lovely pose and framing, though.

I like this idea, but find the image a little too dark. I think it's the lighting. Would like more on the hair so can see the pencils and shapes and have more definition of the hair texture.
