Thanks for the comments. Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to write something before the competition started. I probably was much more excited right after I took it, before the scores started coming in. Interesting how many people hated it or I'm assuming didn't think it met the challenge. I'm glad most who commented liked the angle and composition. It will help me to continue to look at stuff from a fresh perspective. Thanks to Jess for not chugging her martini and putting up with the picture taking even after it passed the "fun" stage.

Really a great picture, like it very much. However, it doesn't really make me wonder what is out of the picture, seems more complete unto itself.

Nice picture, well done, I start wondering, does he knows her? What does she wants? Does not happen very often, I looked more than once at your picture.
The story behind this picture is very good as is the composition.

sorry for my bad English

Great colors. Interesting angle, but in terms of the challenge, I guess I know what's off screen, it's just not all that interesting. 6.

Great idea, great capture. The light on the face, the strong look, the bar atmosphere, the angle of view, the colors, all contribute to a strong image. If further editing was allowed, I would tone down the yellow, but I don't think any other changes are needed.

The yellow is a bit bright, hurts my eyes, but this overall is a great photo. Love the fluid lines, shadows and the moment you chose to capture. All works well. 6.

Great composition, but it took me a couple views to catch the hands lighting her cigarette. At first glance, I thoght it was an intense glow from the lite end!

Nice set up - the colors are so great and the angle of view adds so much. Great shot. :) - 8

What a great perspective, and an original idea :) The color, and focus are both great, and it definately fits this week's theme.

Interesting point of perspective. Unique shot with a jarring mix of colors. I think her eyes need to be seen better to see the expectation though.

Only thing i can picture off screen is the rest of the man offering the light. Interesting use of colours, particularly the red. Will be interested to read your explanation behind this
