It's always so much fun to comment on the excellent photos. I love everything about this: the lighting, the composition, the creatiivity, the tones, the clarity. Beautiful! Good luck.
I love the tones and the textures in this image. Composition seems just a bit awkward but I'm not used to looking at things from straight over head. The white on the right is a little harsh to my eye. Focus is great. Honestly, I'm torn. I want to give you a 6 for POV and highlight but I want to give you an 8 for tones, mood, and texture. Okay, 8 it is. Good luck in the challenge!
