A uniquely interesting picture. Everything about it is thoughtfully executed.

Oh, way to go taking the "every day" and making it look so elegant and exquisite! This is by far my favorite photo I've seen so far. It's flawless in every way: lighting, composition, and a great seasonal subject :)! My first 10! I expect this one to be in the winner's circle when it's all said and done!

Not sure the right side of the photo adds much. Try a tighter crop on the left half of the image.

the placing and final vote on this is crazy! I love it and was one of the 9s in your voting.

In fact, I've been impressed with your whole portfolio - another great photographer (me being the other :-) ) that doesn't shoot exactly what the crowd here is looking for - but I really admire your work!

Now you'll click through and see that my portfolio is in hiding - I got some very unsavory comments on what I had uploaded - so I pulled it. :-)

Link to my site in my profile if you're interested...

Hmmm. I really, really like the lighting and curves in the fabric. I think I would actually prefer it without the ornament though - the hardness of the details/glitter someone doesn't match the soft tones of the rest.

Very nice shot! Really gives a feeling of "Light on White". The only suggestion I have would be to try a bit more contrast to emphasize the light a bit more.

3/3 Creativity
3/3 Subject
1/2 Technical
1/2 WOW
8/10 Score
