THEME: I think the picture does meet the challenge but in my opinion stock photography should represent and focus on 1 object and here we have a flower and a lamp. I don't even see a link between the two objects... a common theme.
FOCUS and LIGHTING: Good focus and lighting. I think that the graininess (especially in the lamp shade)in the pic is due to the color over-saturation.
COMPOSITION: The cropping is good and the shadows on the wall gives depth to the photo. The pink is too bright for me but that's a personal statement. :-) But I do think that going on the edge with the color would limit the sell of your pic in a stock catalogue as most people look for something more common.
Grrr - what is this doing way down here? Now I feel badly that I only gave you a nine - I subtracted a point for the light swtitch. This is a waaay under reated photo. Probaby it is in the wrong challenge, maybe people couldn't see stock possibilites/
I like this unusual image VERY much. The coloring is rich and vibrant, the orchid is beautiful, and the lamp and shadow go so well. Very, very nice. 10!
Oooh, Orchid! I almost called it pink but it's definately orchid. I like the shadow play. I would have liked more detail in ghe beautiful flower though and I don't understand what the flower and the lamp have to do with one another. Sorry for being dense.
