I loved this picture. The picture itself was eerie. This was one of two tens i voted challenge (the other being the first place shot). I thought this should have done better but a guess to first places in two challenges just wouldn’t be fair. Keep up the good work (please).
Very interesting...she is a biit pale...makes me wonder why. off center adds interest. Daring pic...overall I have to give you a high score. Creative, well done.
This is an interesting arrangement, but I am not sure what it is trying to show or convey. Maybe it is just a composition of interesting objects and I am not supposed to find a deeper meaning. I feel like I am missing something, though- like the candles, flute and head have some signifcance but I can't spot it. This photo does have impact, so kudos for that, but for me the impact is a kind of weird feeling! If that was your intention, then I'd say you achieved it.
The title explains the eerie face. If you could have got the background just a little darker it would have been perfect. My favourite of the challenge - should do well. I have come back to this on a darker monitor and now the effect is just perfect! Well done.
This scores high for originality and creativity. Artistically, I especially like the sharp distinction between the contrast in the flute and the female. Well done and tastefully executed in that regard. I think the lighting on the candles is a bit harsh and there is a distinct blue cast. Doesn't really detract too much, but I'm just noting that as a possibility for further refinement. One other issue from an artistic standpoint: there is a lot of drip on the table surface which creates some chaos in the overall presentation. I think a quick clean-up could have been in order for more refinement in the artistic aspect. One other suggestion which may, or may not work, is that the table surface could have been covered with a matte or non-reflective cloth which may add further mystery to this dramatic shot.
