I get the indulgence, but I think it would have been just as effective with less objects, maybe even just the bubble bath. I think simpler would have been better. 6

I think a little less flat lighting would make this image more dynamic.

You very nicely depicts the theme and the photo certainly creates a feeling of true 'indulgence' I would however recommend showing a little more of the model's feet which tend to disappear in the surroundings. The vertical line in the backgroundbetween the two candles is somewhat distractive.

Great setup. The light seems too strong and takes away the candle feel. I would try a long exposure for the candles.

Took a long time till I saw those toes, this is actually the second time I come for a look-see and to comment. I like the shot, but would like to make two suggestions. I think it would render the atmosphere better if there was less light, it would be more sensual that way. And then there are almost too many things on display and they are spread out. But as I said, I like it.

darker background so bubbles and tub stand out? and composition has lots going on so it took me a minute to see the books and foot (basically just saw champagne bottle and flowers)

Nice shot, the foot is a touch too obscured by the bubble bath but the concept comes across loud and clear AND the shot works aesthetically too - something I feel the majority of entries in this challenge don't. In my top 20 this challenge.

I hope you didn't open that bottle of dom just for this shot. If you did, I hope you had a great time. A little critic on this shot would be to tone down the lighting a little bit. I think this picture would have a little more impact with more romantic mood lighting. You could have tried to paint light on the dom label and then let the candles do the rest. Other than that, looks great.

I like the concept you are going for. The lighting is very harsh and doesn't do a lot for the shot; the foot and bubbles are almost lost because of it.

Nice composition. The background objects don't stand out, specifically the roses in the vase. A little too busy for my taste.

Nice attention to details, even down to the title of the book. Good job, lighting seems a little dull though.
