I disagree. I really like this one.And it looks overexposed because of the yellow tint added, when it's actually perfectly exposed.It is a bit brighter, but that is probably because the artist increased contrast.

Fantastic job!! You blended to two photos very well!

I'm not too keen on the job. It's not horrible, but you do need to work on you're blending. The cut and pasting is a bit too sharp, you have a slight bokeh in the background, but where you photoshoped, some details are not blurry. You might want to try a slight gausian blur to blend the background a but more

The post editing and dof is good, but the composition need some work. There is too much dead space to the left, and it's hard to tell at first what the focus of the photo is. You might want to crop the photo a bit so the orchid is more prominent

Love this photo!

The composition and lighting is good, but you really need to work on your focus, most of the flower is blurry

You do realize that isn't a lilac flower?

I actually like it with the people in the photo. It gives the building scale, and makes it seem much larger

I'm not a big fan of the overburned clouds. The blacks are way to dark, and your whites are gray, you need less contrast to to brighten the image

Great job with the photoshopping, but I like the original better

I love how vibrant the colors are!!! Great job!!

It takes a while for a piece to get votes. I've had my work up for 2 hours before it got a single vote. Be patient

I agree, this photo is focused on the tree, not the building. I can barely make out the features of the building. This photo all around is not that good. It's way to busy, it's hard to make out any detail, and you don't have an object that is the main focus of the photo.

There is a bit too much post-editing to this photo. I don't know what you did, but her skin looks waxy, and unreal and her eyebrows are almost nonexistent

You could adjust the exposure a bit and brighten up her face

I'm not to fond of the hair in the face

and it shows

So far they only pictures the four profiles commented on and faved, and probably voted on, were your photos. Either you have really loyal friends or you created fake profiles.

You've already submitted this photo to a contest http://www.pxleyes.com/photography-picture/4d9cbdf22561f/rays.html

I'm not a huge fan of the desaturation, but nice mage otherwise

I love the focus on the flag!

I think you entered this into the wrong contest

I think having it in color would make it a lot easier to see.

Much better, we can see a lot more of her face now, lol

the saturation blotches the skin, it look like you used a diffused filter on it, but that's probably due to all the other editing. The selective editing would have been better, this editing doesn't flatter the photo at all. The saturation definitely needs to come down.I would increase the contrast as well, and to be honest, you don't need perfect skin to have a perfect photo. I've taken portraits of dirty faces that were beautiful. Perfect skin is just societies ideal

Watch out for your focus, it seems like she's in focus, but if you look real close you can tell she isn't

dreadwolf1, when you only fav photos from one person, praise only their photos, and just because they are your friend, that's not what this site is about. This isn't facebook, where you like a photo because you are init, this site tries to be a place to showcase artistic work. This photo is good to look back on her prom and remember it, as an artistic shot, I see nothing here. It looks like something a mother took of her daughter just to capture the memories, not be artistic or well balanced. For one, I would have not chosen this shot because it cuts off the bottom of her dress at an awkward angle, and it's exposed for the sun, not the shadows, her posture isn't the best, and I love the color of the dress, just dark green and brown do not flatter it.

I really like it, I would increase the contrast a bit more, but it is quite beautiful!

The colors are simply amazing!

Hasn't a similar photo been recently used in the national emblem photos?

I love the moment you've captured here, also, great lighing and composition!

I love it, it's a bit dark, but still a beautiful shot

Perfect timing!

lol, he looks a bit demonic

Love this photo! perfect light, perfect timing, I just think it would be really cool if she were sitting on the bench with a guy, but besides that this is still a great photo!

I would disagree with you author, this photo is WAY too muddy, you need to increase the contrast or something so there isn't so much gray!

Creepy

Great Lighting!

I agree. For one, this shot is taken at a very unflattering angle, the lighting is very poor and the dress is an eyesore in contrast with the environment. Beautiful girl, beautiful dress, but you could have taken a much better shot

Nice photo, I don't like the editing though. The diffused affect doesn't suit this photo, also, her skin is quite blotchy

This is a nice photo, but I wouldn't use it for this contest. It's supposed to show off the make up, not hide it

I really like it, I just wish it wasn't so wide

I'm sorry, the last time I checked Yin Yang had one meaning, not a thousand. Last time I checked the flag of the united states stood only for the united states. Certain symbols are not up for interpretation. Anyone who sees the Yin Yang knows what it means like they know what the United State's flag means. Trying to twist such a widely known symbol to a knew meaning means your photo is going to be misread. Without your explanation, I thought you avatar deal with peace or something along those lines.

Interesting shot, but your focus seems to be off and you have major motion blur. If you could I would try to retake the shot because I love how her hair flows into the reflection, it's a beautiful effect!

The concept is neat, but I think you have your symbolisms wrong. Yin Yang in itself is about opposites. Using it to represent a single idea is improper seeing as it represents at least two, light AND dark. Using it to represent only one is just an improper use of the symbol. Also, I would have cropped the shoe it, it makes your photo look careless and that you didn't put a lot of effort into it

Your focus in the photo isn't all that great

I believe the name of the Band is THE Doors. Being a huge fan of them, I'll be impressed if you can tell me where they came up with their band name? There's an awesome story behind it

Lol, nice one!

Love the focus! And the black and white really accents the man

Not a huge fan of HDR, and I think your contrast is too steep, but to composition and subject are very good, I just don't agree with your choice of editing
