Honest criticism, longer comments

Need comments? Recently scored lower than expected? New uploads?

In the spirit of elasapo's thread, if anyone wants longer comments and honest, hard criticism with no punches pulled, post your thumbnails here. I'm no expert, but I think I know what makes a good photograph, and I like giving well thought-out comments. I'm not sure I can be the workhorse elasapo is, who's been commenting for two days, but I'll do my best. This is not a one-for-one request, so no need to reciprocate. If you posted in elsapo's thread, let's have a different photo here.

Post your thumbs, if you dare.

Alright, I'm willing to take some criticism. :) Though the highlights from the candle are a bit blown out, I really enjoyed taking this shot and it is still one of my faves despite the fact that it didn't score very high. Must have been the dark theme I took on... Fire away! ;)

Wanted to enter something like this for the challenge but couldn't and this one was taken a day before Color on Color was announced.

Would love a long comment and know how it would have done!
Thank you in advance Louis :-)

I know why the challenge version of this shot suffered, and I think this is much better. It involved some of the most intricate PS work I've ever done, so I'd like to get some comments on it.

This is one I thought would have scored a little higher and didn't get much feedback. If you feel up to it I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Already a woefully inadequate member. :/ I neglect my duties there too much to be of much use.
