The lighting on this is so perfect, great settup, perfect focus, good job on the carving, like the way the stems are pointed creating leading lines.
My only suggestions - could do without the stuff on the right, it a little busy as is, and the window lines make it look tilted left, perhaps you could have tilted the image to the rt and cropped a touch off the bottom. But thats just nit picky suggestions cause it's so close to perfect!

This is absolutly magnificent! I am ashamed for my fellow voters that were stupid enough to give it anything less than a 5, all 59 of them! Any that had qualms about the Light on White need to think of the reason for the exercise, which is to excellently photograph almost white (on) white without loosing form, or dulling or blowing out the brighter end of the tones. The less color the greater the challenge. You dared to shoot ALL white and did so beautifully!
Love how neat image adds a dreamy 'marble-like' feel, as sglantz put it.

This is unfortunate, you did a great job of carving this design, which I know includes a cool backdrop (that some how got left out), but the photo barely shows this. This was hard and little time. great effort :)

Not complimentary but great contrast and really nicely done. Nice depth of field and great cropping. gave it a 7. -3 for not meeting the challenge better, but certainly not deserving of less than a 5. Oh well, they did the same to mine. Better luck to us both :)
