One Too Many Low Scores

Nikon? Oh, no :( Pick it up :) I give you my highest score - relative to other entries :) Seriously, I think this is the best idea in this challenge.

I'm not able to classify this as a language. Instinct - yes. From quality of image point of view - very nicely done - colors, focus, control of backgound.

Pomegranates

Comment:
Thank you all for your comments! and votes too!

To answer some of your comments:
- branch comes from pomegranate tree too - that's the state of it in January in California
- cloth in the background is not even intentionally - I feel that way it is more natural :)
- vase is really very light kind of bluish - that's the way my daughter painted it long ago
- here I made every effort to minimize postprocessing - so this is pretty much straight from the camera (if "pretty much straight" includes "Crop, Resize, Sharpen" ;)

Not sure what is it, but you created very appealing composition - colors, lines, reflections - all works very well together.

Pretty In Pink

Comment:
You did everything to present best way most beautiful features of this model - her face and eyes. That part I think is presented perfectly. However (to my taste!) few other things included are to some degree distracting. I read the title, I look at whole image, and I feel uncomfortable to say this is the best. But I want to :) I think potential is not completely realized here.

Very good portrait. This will work very well in black and white too.
