looks great in the High Res

This looks like a nice photo, but with out a High Res, its hard to tell, what we see here has been down sampled to 600px x 400px. So is not showing at the best quality. You can change this;

Your image doesn't need to be enormous, anything between 2.5mg and 3.5mg is plenty big enough.
Good luck

great shot, lovely tones, DOF and details

Nice photo and take on the theme.

with the strange colours caused by the light, this one might be better in black and white

I really think you need to upload a High Res so we can see what this is.

Votes already entered before removal remain.

The version you see here, has been down sampled, so never show the true quality, which is why I keep asking for High Res images.
The only time it's not a good idea to upload a High Res is when the original is already a low quality.

Having a photo uploaded later, does not seem to be a disadvantage as far as votes are concerned, some even maintain it's an advantage.

I used to love that about 20 years ago when it was called Amaretto. Nice photo, but not sure black and white is the best choice for something that has such a beautiful colour.

That's a bit hard to swallow, great shot.

wonderful

great shot

The spotlight from the bottom right really makes this photo.

I do wish we had a High Res.

Your explanation makes the photo extra special.

I thought it was chocolate. Well done.

I don't think you need to see the stage, but the photo needs to have a look about it to show it was taken during an actual stage show.

Lovely, but do you really think, or know that she is in her 70th?

Nice shot

I feel the shadows are a little too dark.

Love the flower in the middle

Great DOF

Nice photo, not too sure about the colour treatment.

Nice capture

Love the energy in this one.

Nice idea, but I would crop it at the bottom of the bottom shelf to keep it cleaner

Great shot

So scary, you couldn't even keep the camera straight,

goal states;
Make sure it is an obvious 'on stage' photo and not a training sessions of your daughters ballet group in their local school, that will be considered off theme as will be street artists.

Powerful HDR

Life is so much easier with screw caps

Definitely the wine, unless I want to remove some paint. Nice photo.

great photo, but I would tone down the red

elegant

Wonderful detail in the High Res.

The high res looks great

Great for a holiday snapshot.

Great shot,

Definitely the gin, unless I have a cold, then I'll take the whiskey.

That looks much better, now if you just crop some off the road, it will be even better.

Of course, fair comment.

Good work, but I don't see much of the original source
