Hi - I like your original entry. It's a good, soft focus shot with decent shadow and reflection. Both takes are a little on the dark side. Neither photo shows enough light to make it any more dramatic than what it is. On the other hand, they both have a peacefulness about them. I had some issues with my entry too - I decided it might be a good time to let go of the ducky's - a new challenge is at the train station up head!

I went back and looked at my settings and somehow I had darkened it by .5 stops in the raw editor. I don't know why I did that, and based on the comments that contributed to the low score. Because I had everything set up for something entirely different, the focus issues and the darkness were due to the 4 watt light and long exposure time. I deleted some of the original idea shots, which led me to this:
Which I should have submitted but chickened out on.
Thanks for the comments. |

I'm surprised this didn't do better in the challenge. It was one of my favourites.
As usual, though, DPCers, generally speaking, seem to want things brightly lit, and in extra-crisp focus.
Oh well. Keep up the good work. |

The image is just too dark and I don't really associate the title to the image as far as making a fashion statement.
You've got a great closeup here and a good dark background, the subject just needs better lighting. |

| Nice angle, just under-exposed, even for low-key, but probably could be rescued with level adjustments. Also consider less-central composition. |

the focus is a tad bit lacking.
But i like the subtle reflection in the floor. |
