I see what you were trying for here, and the composition here is really effective. I think, thought, that the colours could be more interesting with some tweaking. It also seems like you used a little too much compression.

Beautiful composition on this photo. The soft light brings up all the details and subtelty of the old building. However, I think the border undermines the subtelty of the photo. A more neutral border would be more appropriate, I think.

Very lovely. Perfect composition and beautiful colours. I won't be surprised at all if this ends up in the top 10 (but then, I'm often wrong).

It's true! She discovered Neatimage and how to use the levels adjustment in the Gimp while processing this photo (from conversations with me and puppet10). I'm so proud... and jealous! :P

Well, Azrifel's CC comments are very in-depth and perceptive, but I'd just like to say some things. For Annida's first ever serious attempt at photography, she shows SO much flair it makes me jealous :P. And her score beat most of the photos I ever submitted using that camera.

From taking this photo and the one she has in the current challenge, Annida has learnt how to use the Gimp to crop, use levels, make borders, not compress too much, and sharpen.... all in two weeks! Watch out for her :).

Cheers!

Nice soft light, good composition, bright colours. This is a good photo, for what it is. It doesn't grab me thematically.

Nice study. I can't fault this technically. The subject matter is a little dull, but it's a very good photo.

Leche de Rosa

Very pretty. The colours are stunning. The symbolisim of this strikes me as being similar to this photo from a challenge a long time ago:

I reiterate what I said about that one... the symbolism seems sexual, like the Hindu shiva linga. It's very small in size, but that makes the rose petal seem 1:1. I'm giving this 10!

Hrrm.... strange colours. Looks like you used the flash, which is a nono for portraits. The expression on the woman's face seems to match the title perfectly though :).
