lol. Well, it is a nice photo of it. I can see this printed as an almost abstract piece of art next to other pieces (maybe not on its own). The only thing distracting me is the shadow on the top right.

Hiding In Plain Sight

Just passing through at the moment. This is very beautiful. Just when sharpening, use a layer mask to not sharpen the bokeh. I can also see the halo of sharpening, especially on the foot. I believe this can be avoided to an extent by using a smaller radius (say 0.3 or 0.4) and then increasing the amount (assuming you used USM). This looks like it was already sharp, so the oversharpening was probably not that necessary. But a stunning photo and excellent colours! I really like it!

I'm assuming that's you on the left, and if so, the editing is the most seamless in the challenge (or that I've ever seen).

Well done! The lighting is perfect and as a portrait this is also perfect.

Now that I told you how things turn out, are you sure you don't want a drink?

Excellent edit, and I like the expression you took now because it tells the story perfectly (compliments your expression then). Great humour and story.

First, got to say that the editing is perfect. Then, being photogenic helps a lot! The pose is perfect. What makes this stand out for me is that I can see you were ten in the photo. I don't know why, but I think it's because it adds a whole lot of context and story. :)

I would have liked to see the whole light bulb in the frame. Beautiful background!

This image captured me. Original and engaging. The fire is heavy, but how the photo is put together is great. The model's glance and pose is what really makes this great for me.

I like the painting with light entry more, but this is still awesome!
