Reminds me of 'Tea Bag'. an abominable character in the TV series 'Prison Break'.

I can easily appreciate this entry on its own two feet, outside the challenge.

I took a lot of criticsm on this one for being "fake looking" but, in reality, I photographed a CONTACT LENS which was.....fake looking! *grin* And, while a number of people commented on the "pixilized" look to it, in fact, this shot was really not very pixilated. The model had very shiney eyeshadow on with very different coloring to it, including specks of gold and silver. Another lesson I have learned in this. Don't take too close a shot on someone wearing "reflective" makeup!

I think a lot of voters didn't like this shot because it wasn't realistic looking. I've now learned that the voters in DPChallenge don't care as much for anything outside of the natural type of shot. That's ok. Ya live and ya learn.

Nice composure (except for the reflection in the glass on the left) and exposure... resolution could seriously be improved to make this a "cleaner" image.

The composition and exposure are OK but it looks like a much smaller photo blown up too far. There are jaggies in the wine glass and eye glasses and sharpening halos around the chair back and some of the leaves.

Nice reflection but the overall quality of the image is grainy. The image composition is too busy.

There is too much noise. Contrast is too low for my taste.
