Well, at the very least it's creative, eh? I do wonder a tiny bit about the subject. Is this usual to take a bath with flowers? I saw all the rose petals in the tub in American Beauty, but this is a bit different. ;)

But going with the shot, a few things. First, could you have actually reversed yourself in the tub and shot with your foot on the other end? That would remove the drain. I think it's an extraneous element and distracts. Removing as many unnecessary elements as possible is always a good thing in my mind. (With that in mind, the pink container in the background might qualify as well. I didn't find that nearly as bad though.)

I like the polish. But I guess that's my personal taste. ;) Here's a trick you can try. Use "Filter>Noise>Dust and scratches at a very low setting to try to remove some of those tiny highlights. Sometimes things can look a lot better after that. It's even basic legal (in case you need it for those challenges).

Very wrong choice in toenail polish...Just don't care for the flower angles or why you'd even set this one up. I just don't get it....sorry...

I would love to know how you did the whole setup. Did you use a tripod, get settled into bath, with just one dry hand sticking out to reach the shutter or remote?....Whatever, it's quirky, indulgent, colourful, different, fun,... and just great! Well thought out.

Good light and color. I'm not in love with the composition though. I think with the water on it detracts from the delicacy of the bubbles and flowers.

I'd like this a lot more without the black toenails. Maybe a purple to match the flowers? :) DOF and POV are good.

Hummmmmm...... I really don't know what to say on this one. it's quite messy looking the crop and everything. I'm not a fan of the black toenails either. But if you would have captured the flower itself in a nice macro with the toes or the bather out of focus in the backround it would be a winner

Wow! Good Job! What a pleasant change of pace from the sea of flowers that I've been looking at. My fav so far, and I'm 80% thru. Nice use of color and lighting. Wish the toenail paint was a different color, but hey, that's just the female tastes coming thru. Good one!
