This deserved a ribbon Gilles...great shot...congratulations on a good finish, but you deserved better...it just grabs your attention...I gave it a 10 and stick by that
This is very cool. How can I not give this shot a high vote? You're probably going to hear the, "blah blah blah - the lollipop should be in focus blah blah blah" but I think it's perfect the way it is. Lotta work. Great job.
This looks like it was fun.
Perfect focus on the eyes. I really like the DOF softening of the "candy" shoulders. The only criticism I can find is that there could be more light on the left eye (viewer's right). Nice pic. Bumping up.
Wonderful and playful. Brilliant eyes, great light. I actually would have liked to see more in focus and I would have whitened the eyes which would make them even more stunning. Really love it.
I find this really unattractive for some reason. I won't vote it down because of that but the shallow depth of field does affect it. The body is ok to be OOF but the lollipop needs to be.
Diffrent, diffrent diffrent... and a winner also. Loks like some crazy thing that Arnit would do to one of his girl-friends. At least you get 10 from me.
Wow, this is kind of creepy. But I like it. It would probably be better for me if you had more of her in focus, the blur on the lollipop and on her shoulders seems too extreme.
Yummy! Very nice and creative. I like the depth of field you used here and the super crisp eyes make this a very nice shot. I would like to see her tongue and the lolipop in focus. It looks almost like an artificial blur that you applied. Nice capture overall.
Great origianl photograph it has great whimsical appeal. Perfectly executed technicals. Maybe you're trying to force the attention to eyes, but I would of liked to see the DOF expanded to include the tongue and lollipop.
People will do anything to get their picture ont his site huh? This shot made me smile. The eyes do just as your title states without going overboard and the candy on the face and body go just enough overboard without feeling totally ridiculous. Very interesting shot - well done.
Now here is something I like, I tried something (not similar) once (somewhere in my challenge entry´s called candy) But I like this one much more.
Great. 10 for just making a fun photo, btw how did you manage to get the ´dip´ to stick to her face?
Wow! I was despairing of finding a single image that I REALLY liked in this challenge but here's one! Totally kinky and I love it! Eye's seem a touch dark against that blown out background. Love composition, love eye contact, love colour and love idea!
WOW, such a great photograph here!! Really like this one! This is the first shot I've opened, hope they aren't all as good as this :-)
This is one of those shots that just grabs a persons attention, there's so many things to look at here we just have to take time looking over it.
Firstly, what a great idea!! I could understand just doing her face, but as I can see it the coloured balls are all over her top half too, so much has gone into it...
Her pupils are so large, something else to look at in the shot.
The only thing I would pass comment on is the white space on the right. It's great that there is space there, maybe just a little too much for my liking. But, that's not going to effect the score.
A full 10 points here, couldn't give it any less :-) Well Done!
Don't know about the model but I bet this was fun for you. :) I like the attention to detail having your model with candies even in the soft focused background. Eyes look a little overdone.
This is the kind of idea I like to see here!!!! The striking "pop" art colors and in-your-face subject sorta blends with a post-modern ambiguity that makes the viewer question the purpose of the image altogether. I'm gonna give this lots of critique because I LOVE IT!!!! First of all the idea and set-up are exquisite .... I have been looking it over for several minutes. Technically-speaking, the photo is above average: The colors and white background make this a ggood studio quality shot. The shallow DOF misses the tongue, teeth/braces and lolly-pop - this isn't necessarilly bad, but my eye is disappointed when looking at it the bottom part of the image :) The nose is difficult to distinguish from the lip - again, this isn't necessarilly bad, just an observation ... The bokeh is beautiful and intriguing since the model seems covered in the sprinkles. The earing and bangs of the hair are merely distractions that keep this image frm being perfect. But If I were to do anything to this it would be to reduce the yellow overall especially in the eyes (which are well-lit and beautiful). This assumes the model has since removed the sprinkles and there's no re-shoot scheduled LOL. Overall, I love this and it's a favorite --literally. 8
Two great factors working here. Originality and a nice close up of the eyes. Also, great composition! With all of the work you did here hopefully you're rewarded for it. Good luck!
holy shit
im looking for a rikki photo
the problem is
they are all so different
this might be a guess
those are really blue eyes
damn
im in awe

the end
OMG! I can't believe she let you do that to her. Great composition and colours, (of course) my only suggestion would have been to have the lollypop in focus - My personal taste. Good luck. 7
