A unique entry, with a creatuve use of sources, however the rug seems to have just a bit too much shadow of the bottom right and looks like is levetating off the ground. The boots may be just a hint too much as well but that's more opinion than anything.

Went with your shadow tip........Jaws, Thanks for the tip and compliments people.

Update: shadowed the one side of the magazine and added a little glow to the candle thanks for the great tip closedeyes.

wonderful image,lovely mood and a great idea but the perspective of the floor looks a bit odd

Oh yeah, it looks a lot better now, maybe stil a wee bit on the left side but you can see now how all that extra shadow just kind of gives it tehe illusion that it's hovering? Trust me, we probably all make that same mistake our first few shadow chops

very good

nice entry... gl

bet tht shoes does'nt belong to teddy author... nice colours... li'l nitpicking: book cover away from the lamp where the teddy has got dark shades can get little shades... little glow around the candle can make it more lively... like the touch of snow on shoes.... over all its really good image...

Nice entry author

Congrats for 4th place....
