Hi Yanik: This is one image I thought would do a lot better than 22nd. My pick was in the top three, but there is no accounting for voter's tastes right?
The first thing that hit me when I looked at this pic is the vivid deep red you've managed to bring out. It seems almost at the point of being oversaturated but it isn't, you've kept it just under the borderline. I am sure this took a lot of work with the setting up and the post processing to get it right.
The composition is excellent. I love the humor aspect you've created here. I gave this photo a 9, the reason I didn't give it the full 10 is because of the lighting which appears to be a little overdone at the top left and around the back left of the glass. It creates an uneven effect on the whole background.
Other than that this is a fantastic photo which was one of my 3 favourites for the week. Well done.
Cute idea. I like the lips and the red vine and most of the background, but I get the feeling that the upper left is "blown out". It shouldn't matter, but grabs my attention, so that can't be good. Still, it's an appealing shot overall. 8 Rob the Swash
that's and interesting concept and design with the lines and shapes. although either your white balance or color processing has rendered the fleshtone a bit cold and grayish. not the most appealing because of that ...
I like the high key of this shot. The lighting on the background if more even so as to be completely white would really make this photo jump off the page. I like your crop and composition.
