This is a really nice shot. Great lighting and composition. But... I don't see "triangle." Hexagon could be made of a series of triangles, do we use our imagination for it?

I had assumed it was Greek as well, which is one of the reasons I was a little confused when I saw Lenin. My mistake. Pretty cool with your explanation... good luck

there is so much in this photo that in my opinion, the contents of the jar is not the focus of this photo. It is a very well put together photo though

No wonder I couldn't translate the title, I assumed it to be Greek, worked much better once I realised it was Russian, fantastic set up and photo.

Very nice lighting and colors. I'm not sure I understand the relationship between the items (if any). Wish the jar with the doll's head wasn't quite so centered. But I like it a lot

Awesome lighting, though the shadow under her lip looks like a smudge - maybe a tad heavy on the skin smoothing/noise removal ? And the stray hair on her forehead bothers me a little, but it's a killer shot! Wonder how long it takes to get all the sequins off lol

Author if you see it this way: you are correct! It's an angle I didn't expect but if you explain - see it that way it's perfect

Since the word means what it means it would have been a great composition to have the word a bit smaller and in the lower right corner IMHO. That way you would have used the force of the word in a visual representation. I (reading from top to bottom, left to right) would expect a closure there.

Nevertheless: great photo and perfect match for the contest IMHO.

This is so wierd for me because I have block of ice in the freezer right now that I made about 5 weeks ago for this very same setup. My wife keeps asking me what the hell you gonna do with this thing, its in the way. I tried to explain but I don't think she got it, so NOW I can show her what I was talking about. Great job.....GL
