Very warm lighting. I like how it highlights the grapes.

Wonderful. It's got burst, it's got color, it's a burst of color! You did it! 10 from me.

The desaturated image makes a great image. This image is all about the softness and emotion (love, sultry, seduction, sadness, something to that effect). The red lips even play into that emotive feeling. But in a burst of color challenge, I think it was a poor choice to enter.

Great word... I use it almost every day!! To me, this object doesn't scream petulance! But that is neither her nor there. The photo has a great burst of color and I like the BG (Looks like a carpet) and the light captured.

Great job with the processing and lighting on the model. She needs to give up some excitement or some other emotion for you though. I am assuming the subject is in a marching band or she is wearing a uniform or costume that is relevant to the reason for the photo... otherwise I would lose the headband.

By the looks of this you used on camera flash or another type of flash unit. It just really flattens out the image, though you did get real good color out of it. Was this a night time shot??

The hyper saturated processing really slaps you in the face on this shot.

Great color and composition. I think in your processing you have smoothed out the textures a bit too much. Whether through de-noise or whatever process you used. It just doesn't look natural and it is over-processed in that respect. It might be over-sharpened because I can see some digital artifacts around the outlines of the petals, leaves and stem. (perhaps that is due to the processing on the sky.
