| how is your picture not cliche and how is it original...champagne toast is probably in the top ten cliche moments on new year's eve. in fact several of the top ten in this challenge represented champagne. second the arm isn't totally in focus. it looks soft when compared to the person's head. and it is overexposed and the huge shadow on the persons head is bad and the glass is tilted and the color is bad. |

On coming dead last:
Looking at the three absolute cliché’s that took the three ribbons, I actually don't feel so bad. I really like my picture and consider it a 10 regardless. The focus is perfect. (Funny how no one mentioned that) The colors are bold and rich; the garish light on her hand accurately portrays the moment. Most of all I can say without fear of being shot down, that this was an original idea. I didn't get this out of a photography manual, there weren't eight other people doing basically the same thing, you don't see it repeated everywhere. Who knows maybe one day you will.
Am I being arrogant, ungracious? Probably. But it's between that and caving into to someone else's vision, and I won̢۪t do that. |

| but i'd have loved to see her face to see the excitement of the moment. as it is, it is only an overexposed shot of her arm. better luck next time. |

| Shame that the hand is covering the face, also would have beeen good to have got the rest of the glass in the frame. |

| Would have liked to see a face or even the smile would have helped. |

| TOO MUCH SHADOW AND NOT ENOUGH OF THE SUBJECT |

The color cast (purpleblue) is very distracting. I guess it is the color of the flash (big hard shadows) fooling the white balance. Best to set a manual whitebalance, also to compensate for indoor lighting+flash combinations.
It would have been nice to see a face with a hand, now it is a big hand with a hidden face. |
