Those are wedding rings that two ppl are gonna wear in their fingers for the rest of their life.
A better b/g (satin or something more elegant) would be a better choice IMHO.

I knew who you are before voting.

Great equipment you got there.

The blue back light gives an ancient temple feeling(like the light is coming from a small opening on a cave or something) & i really like it but i only wish the body or the face (at least) was a little bit brighter.

Very nice,except of the flower on the left.It gives away the scale of your horse.If it wasn't there it would be more realistic!

A wider frame would be better(to include the top of the glass & tea pot's neck).

It would be great if the yellow sheet was all over the table or not at all.
Still a nice photo!

Next time you set up a composition be careful with some small details f.e
The corner of he table on the left side of your frame.
It would be better if the "horizon" was across the background (would be technically correct).
All so include the top & the bottom of the pills pile IMHO.

Excellent light metering & exposure.
You captured every detail in the room with out blowing out the highlights on the window....

A wider frame was needed on the right of the photo so you don't loose the handle of the tea pot...Besides that great lighting & vivid colors!

Nice low key photo,but the focus isn't that sharp...

Very much better!!!

karaflazz says:

A wooden or stone b/g would make this even better (since this is old stuff).
Try to "complete" your composition with the best b/g or items you can find to give the right mood next time.
Did you use 2 light sources?If yes try with only one just to see the result.
A low key technique would be better for this type of composition IMHO.

Beautiful capture author.
I would crop the bottom of the frame,right on the diagonal curve of the concrete bench (leading line) to be technically perfect IMHO.

Next time maybe...

karaflazz says:

It looks like you used a flash for this shot.
An other angle/direction of the light would have been better.The way it is now it is too harsh!
A nice idea tho...

A beautiful old face that lost it's beauty by over processing!!!
I would do the same here ( b/w , sharpening,to bring out the texture of her face )but i think you over did it here IMHO!!!

There where at least 2 comments in this entry saying that the bubbles are not the main focus here but the girl 2 hours ago & now they are missing!!!
I agree with that,
This is a low key fine art nude photo that has nothing to do with bubbles!!!

You should be more careful with your framing next time so you can avoid things like the one on the lower right corner.

You can easily create a fill fight using a small mirror.Place the mirror on the exact oposite direction of your ligh source & the dark parts ot your subject will be more visible without nusty shadows

I think you crop your photo toooo much.A wider frame would look better IMHO!

karaflazz says:

Since you made all this effort you should cut off the windows & doors & put some light in the box to make it look more realistic.Very nice thinking tho...

I really like the texture of the table (or is it a wooden box or something) & the color in this but the bakground is a litle messy for my taste!
Nevertheless a great entry.

No one said they are not.
If this was a "paint" contest this set up would be perfect.
It's a writing tools contest so i think that a letter or some sort of writing would be more fitting instead of a paint but that's just me Adam!
