 This is the most pathetic decoration we have and it's the most prominent...nice. It's a plastic angel, which I tilted to make it look even more sad, and to give it a sense of flight, hahaha.

a fallen angel on top a tree.....

two things i would change about the photo:
the photographs in the background (i would have either moved the tree or taken the photographs temporarily off the wall....i'm pretty sure they are easily put back in place)

and the uncropping of the angels halo and wings.....

Strange composition, she looks more like falling down than sitting. I think crop is too tight thought and the picture in the background distracts me a bit (the shadow of the wings, too).

Technical: fits the challenge- definitely tacky. Exposure- looks flashed, which is rarely attractive. Composition is a little too tight and the picture frame in the background doesn't add to the photo- turning the angel so that a blank wall was behind it might have helped along with using a long exposure instead of flash. Focus okay.

Personal: Gerat for theme, not my favorite technically.

Great concept only you cut off part of her halo.
