Neat idea, well executed except I wish the horizon was straight.

Nice setup and capture. good focus on the hands. Hard to tell the candle is lit (who cares) because of the great colors. The flash is just a touch to bright for me..toned down just a touch...perfect. Nice work

nice shot but it really needs a bit of CW rotation.

I like the concept, but the foreground lighting is too strong and makes the picture unnatural looking. I find the shirt to be a distraction too. Maybe grouping the objects tighter and cropping tighter would help.

This is great. I can see it in a travel magazine ad.

Nice use of fill-in flash

IMO, too much light on the hnads, the bacground should be more into focus or more out of focus. Good idea for the travel gudie theme.

A great scenic - lit with both backlight and flash. The border holds it together - coming from one who normally doesn't like them much. I wish you could tie it to a actual destination somehow.

very reminiscent of shots I've seen in a few "getaway" brochures, so well done on that aspect. I would have liked to have seen the wine bottle, glass, and candle bowl in focus more. It would have given the image a little more weight, and a better strength to lead your eye to the background... which, by the way, is stunning.
it's a beautifully crafted scene otherwise, so keep it up :)

Cool concept. Regarding composition the bottle is a little unworthy.The same about the streaky shirt. Maybe a cropping removing bottle would improve the picture.

The lighting on the hands is too harsh. I would have liked if the wine bottle was uncorked.

NIce idea, but the bottle, candle and glass also need to be in sharp focus for this to really work. Increase the dof just a little

Nice blurring of the background but I wish the glass on the table (middleground) were in focus too, but that could just be personal preference. Light from flash a little bright, creating harsh shadow between hands. A bounced or diffused flash would've worked nicely.

this pic has such promise but does not quite work out for me, lovely idea though
