Positives:
Tonality is the strength of this composition. Duotone light blue works well. It is obvious that you took care deciding how to compose the image and deciding to include the ribbon. You really did a great job with the use of natural and/or natural looking lighting. Nicely done. It is a good try.
Technicals:
Again, tonality and lighting are what makes this a good image. The main technical fault is digital "jaggies" on the edges of the ribbon in various places. That always acts as a distraction. Composition, though not really bad at all, is not strong. Perspective is kinda 'average'. ;)
The challenge:
DPC voters want to be hit over the head with dazzling technicals, a strong unmistakable connection to the challenge topic and/or strong message. Your image fails in that because voters cannot figure out why you included the ribbon. Though it is obviously a bed, voters are not strongly associating your image to the challenge topic.
Suggestions:
There are a couple things you might consider for a better score with this image. Try a different perspective. Add another element to the composition to better explain the inclusion of the ribbon. And, of course, redo sharpness to eliminate the digital "jaggies". |

IMHO, I think there is enough detail in the photo (aside from the brilliant composition & lighting)to warrant the use of the ribbon, is there something subliminal in that? LOL j/k.
Seriously, I am curious about your use of the ribbon...let me know after the challenge if you care to. |

| I'm not sure what the black strap is... I think a piece of lingerie or something similar might have appealed to me more as I don't get the context. However, it is still a wonderful picture. Love the textures here with the use of different types of blankets. The lines you created in the folds of the blankets are superb. The wonderful soft light coming adds a nice touch, makes me want to jump in and take a nap. |
