Hi Summer,
Greetings from the Critique Club...
Congrats on your personal best with this shot. I think all your many shots and selection of this one helped to get you a good ranking.
I think the size of your image (I'll take the word of ohmark who's done the math) is 50% smaller than it could/should be. When I vote I like to see as much detail and a larger image helps this. I think that's the main reason your shot was lower that in should be in the challenge. Read through some of the forums for the technical details of getting better sizes. As for the challenge fit, you nailed the feel of an advertisement.
As for the technical elements and the mood of the shot... The lighting on the bottle is just right-- the shadows and highlights could not have been better placed. You didn't put much technical detail in your comments but I assume part of your many shots was tweaking the lighting. I'd like to see the backdrop lit a little more on the right and less on the left. Playing around with two lamps/flashlight might make the lighting even more interesting.
You've got the right idea with the backdrop - right color that adds to the "romantic" feel -- there isn't much romance in terry cloth :) Silk/velvet, if you had it on hand would be better (I know you're working with what you've got) for the mood and to lessen a bit of distracting texture. Hard to tell but your dof looks spot on.
Looking forward to seeing more of your work in future challenges. If you have any questions, feel free to pm me.
Regards,
Theresa |

| Simple, effective and believable as a real magazine ad. |

| A bit small to get a good feel for the image quality. The label is easily red so it looks like your focus is pretty good. I like the color, lighting and composition. I'm not sure about the background which appears to be either a towel or fleece blanket. Velvet would have worked much nicer. I just wish it were a bit bigger. |

| This is a great image, and could have been soo much better if it was larger. At 336x366 and only 17.5k it's not doing justice to what was quite a bit of effort in creating the image I imagine. |

| This image is a little small, but not too bad. I like the coloring and positioning. |

| Use the full 640 pixels unless you absolutely can't. I like this, but tilt it a little more towards the viewer. |
