like it - colours are strong within the context of the asymmetry of the basic composition - way cool

Any of these photos that made me laugh were good. I remember making macarroni ashtrays for my parents...who didn't smoke. Maybe a bit too much highligh on her chest. Just a tad of a burn for that? The cropping is nice though. 8

Nothing special about the color. Nothing special about the subject matter. Poor image quality. Poor choice of composition. - 4

I really like this idea. I am sure that the reason you cropped the picture this way is to draw attention to the necklace. I would rather have seen the whole face as well. It would have been nice to see the full facial expression on the mother. Her simple smile and a loving look in her eyes would have really added to the overall message you trying to get across to the viewer.

Decent effort here. The lighting is almost good enough, but fails to properly illuminate the models chin. I think some hair light from the right side would help this image immensely, highlighting the neckline and leading the eye to the necklace. Also, the light source is too low and close to the subject, causing the light "fall upward", fading in intensity from bottom to top. This is unnatural to my eye and casts a funny upward shadow on the necklace.

Still, it's a nifty idea and good execution. The cropping work is spot on and the necklace being nearly centered in the image works.

Can't vote on the member's challenges YET, but I'd give this a 10 if I could. Too funny! and oh so true what a mother will do for her child.

Put a smile on my face :) ... A little bit to red I think, the necklace kind of blends in with the skin.
