ElGordo,
I thank you for your comment .
But I don't believe there was any backlash from the voters here, because this is not my usual type of shot for one and also I am not that well known here .
I think it got crushed for 3 reasons.
1) The chessy backdrop,which I will never use again! LOL
2) The funky lighting which was an experiment,I lighted the front girls face with a goldreflector from a ceiling light and the angel in the back had two stropes with umbrellas covered in off white sheets . It all came out pretty much as I had planned ,I just did not have enough room to get back far enough to get the DOF to where I wanted it .
3)The title seemed to confuse some commenters ,there was no story behind the shot ,nor was I trying to make a statement.
It was just me spending good time with my family and all of us having fun with my hobby and that is what we came up with nothing more .
Thanks to everybody who took the time to comment on it .

There is a lot pure crap that the voters selected above this clearly superior image. I do not understand their obstinate stupidity! I can only think that there was a backlash against the obvious polish and perfection of this entry.

I like this photo.. but it would have really been awesome with just the girl with the hat against the purple background, really nice though

Great compliments but something seems to be off in the lighting. I'm not sure and I can't pinpoint exactly what it is. Great image. Good luck. 7

I personally would have liked this much better without the Angel in the Background.

The 'thing going on' strikes me as irrelevant and distracting from the challenge. It will be more popular with others, for sure.

Excellent..... a winner for sure.....

3 - Colors are quite nice. Think I get the concept, but not sure you've quite achieved it. Perhaps choice of clothing, attention to minor details like nail polish, etc and trying to create more 'fantasy' via more OOF, who knows, may have made this better in my opinion. Ultimately, for a viewer looking at this, especially 'quickly' during a Challenge, likely won't hold their attention nor hold the same meaning, as it may have for you - in my opinion.

This may have done better with out the background angel.

Nice idea, lovely models. The line in the background is distracting.

Ohmygoodness! This is so cute!! You could not have set up a more perfect complimentary colors photo :) LOVE IT!!!!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

a little more light on her face, a little more saturation in yellows and blues, a little less DOF and a more even background, then this would be a 10

interesting...you obviously went to a bit of trouble, so A for effort, but the shot is not really well lit, particularly the girl at the front...I like the dof

Love your idea, the background seems a tad over exposed, did you use a photo for the back drop? Also, there seems to be a vertical line that keeps distracting my eye. I do love your yellow and purple tones. Attractive model helps out too. ;-)
