not sure what the two bars are, but the really take away from the image
those two bars where the support of a alogen lamp. i know they are a little bit distracting, but what i was to communicate was a sensation of intimity, a sort of spontaneous situation.. the truth is that i've tryied to remake this photography:
that i've made just 2 days before the opening of the contest :( i think the original one have and intensity and color wonderful so i've tryied to recreate it but it hasn't worked :(
i would very appreciate the comment on the original one by the people who didn't like the remake.. what do you think about it?
p.s.: this was my first partecipation to a photo challenge in all my life(in fact i've got my reflex less than a months..)! thanks for everyone who give my high votes and who has posted comments.. i really need them!
7 - Nice. Nice colors and capture. Don't mind the effect created by the object in the foreground. Perhaps the other eye more visible, as the outline of it is there yet no color appearing and just a little sharper too. Perhaps also, the book/whatever Pearl is sitting on, a tighter crop to eliminate that a little more or else 'use' it more, may have also given this an edge.
