 The Magical web entangles Bad Dreams, which are then evaporated by the morning sun like dewdrops on a spiders web, allowing the good dreams to pass through

Odd juxtaposition of the Native American dream catcher and the oriental symbols. lhall

I don't like that you had something running horizontally thru the middle of the dream catcher. It is really distracting. We lose the continuity of the piece. - Inspzil

I like the blue lighting (UV?;)), prehaps an extra light on the subject itself could have enhanced the shot.

interesting lighting. I think better framing of the dream catcher(so there wasn't a line running through it) would have made this a stronger shot.

Good theme. I like this. Something about a native dream catcher in juxtaposition with the Asian writing...

aha! it loaded today. Almost makes it. The asian characters on the pillow(?) are distracting and confuse the native american theme, makes te picture busy. The curtains are lovley and the mood is dreamy but the dreamcatcher could have been lowered so it is framed in the white headbord curtan and not half lost in the shadow. otherwise the lighting is nice. 7

Shot is a little dark, a little more light on the suject would be nice. DOF is good. Composition is good.
