Hey! Very nice shot.
The frame works well with this. Composition is good. I actually like the square crop and the placement of the bear within the frame. If there were a way to move the bear closer and angle the roses so that they are on a different plane, then it might be worth trying.
Focus is good. It's a very clear, crisp image. The black and white with the red works to create a classic, professional looking shot.
Lighting is good. There is a bright area on the bear's face that has lost some detail and the shadows on the left side of the roses and the side of the bear's ribbon are too dark, but fill lighting could be tricky. I really like the drama created by this lighting setup - the tonal range is great - so I'm not sure it's worth the tradeoff.
High quality shot with no distractions. Nice, seamless background. I don't think you could take a much better shot of this subject.
There is something a little sad about the photo. The desaturation along with the wilted roses suggest a bitter sweet sort of love. If this were on a card, I'd expect it to say I miss you.
Great shot although I'm a little surprised that it got the high score it deserves just because it is a stuffed animal.
Challenge met. I like how you saturated everything but red and then repeated the red in the border. Works well. The flowers look a little sad, maybe that's because they are dried (?) or just because they are lying down. The teddy with the heart and bow-tie and red nose is just too cute. A little reflected ligthing from the left would've helped lighten up the dark shadows. Overall a good entry :)
I love the simplicity of the gray, white and red here. Excellent contrast, I think, maybe needs jsut a touch of light on the left, but still very well done.
Wow that really does look like a Hallmark card! More I look at it the more I like it.... The red really stands out since the rest is desaturated. Great job. 9.
Very nice presentation. I really like the red contrasted against the black and white. My only nit pick would be a tiny bit of blownout exposure on the bear's face, but so farI like this image the best yet.
This is a beautiful shot... the desaturation of the color works beautifully here and the composition is excellent as well... great work :) = 10 - setzler
Great colours on this shot. Good composition and lighting. I like this very much. Perhaps a tighter crop at the top would have helped make the composition a bit stronger. -Annida
