OK, here we go... outside the box again. I expect this image will get hammered, but I thought I'd give it a go. Love it or hate it!

I love the concept - it definitely meets the challenge with the sophistication of the different elements. I feel like this would have been so much better without the bra on the left - it just doesn't seem to add anything to the image. Also, I would probably prefer a looser crop on the right. It doesn't seem necessary with the way you have it here, since the bra theme is obvious, but if you had just one bra, it might be that a looser crop would have helped emphasize the it. I love the way that the bra on the left isn't just sitting there perfectly, but is "dented" a bit, that the glass is mostly empty, and the candle looks non-newly lit. These all help to add the sense that we have stepped into the middle of a beautiful story.

Thought this was excellent! One of my favorites from the challenge. Love the two bras and the reflections on the glass. Great set up & execution! Surprised it didn't finish higher.

the two bras in this photo make it stand out against all the others in a similar vein. great color treatment and composition. the lighting works well with the glass and candle. nicely done.
