I just read the comments. I don't notice things like cropping at joints, which may explain why I suck. But they seem to be good comments - seems to be a shot that especially the guys liked. I also don't see it as flat - color and contrast seem to be fine on my monitor.
Okay, yeah, the crop could've been a little less tight, but very nice shot! The 1, 2, and 3 voters are just nuts or don't like pictures of pretty women or something.
The overall photo is coming out flat. The colors, and the set-up in general just dont pop out there. I don't know how one would go about making it better. Still an overall success, I'm going with an 8.
good title. it hlps to convey what you were going for here. there is a mark on the window that is a little distracting and the ill fiting glove is also a slight annoyance but other than that good work.
