Ok, I'm familiar with the movie title, but haven't seen it. Is there really a fish in a martini glass? I think you're having a little fun here aren't you? :D It's actually a pretty cool photo and it's one of my top picks for this challenge. You did a nice job with the lighting and it's certainly sharp enough. Should do ok for you both in the challenge and as a print or stock photo. Good luck.

Add some text and you've got a movie poster working here. :D Very well put together with a strong B/W tonal range and good control of lighting. The pistol in the garter is a nice touch. Nicely done! Good luck in the challenge.

Very nice "James Bond" feel to this photo. Well done! Great control of lighting (and keeping the reflections in check). Good luck in the challenge.

I've only watched a couple of James Bonds movies years ago, and this photo is immediately identifiable. Well done on getting the message across. You did a nice job in framing this composition considering it's nearly a square crop. Skin tones (face especially) have good color and detail - not washed out. The left eye (from viewing perspective) looks to have a 'dodging' circular area of white (whiter than surrounding area) in the lower off-center area. I wouldn't mention it normally, but for some reason it kind of jumps out at me. In the overall scheme of things that observation is so very minor.

Clever use of props. :D Didn't that hurt your teeth?! Best of luck to you in the challenge.

This is a piece of artwork that is deserving of a prominent place of display - hopefully in many places! Wonderful photo Deb.

Absolutely beautiful! I'm in awe (and a bit jealous I have to admit). Great timing on the lighting for this. It's funny how those reflections work when the angle and height of the camera can really alter what's reflected (i.e. - the height of the tree in the bottom right reflection appears taller than the background mountain, but not the "right side-up" part of it). I also like how you've maintained the deep blue in both the top and bottom sections of this image. Anyway, well done and congratulations in advance on what should be a fine score. :D

Very nice still life. Great job on the lighting, and I like the material you've used as a base for the subject material. Although, I suspect that's probably one of the most commented items for you concerning this photo? :D Very nice fade to black in the background. Well done. Hope this did alright for you in the challenge.

VERY well seen and captured. A stunning photo! I really enjoy the perspective on this as you made a great choice to show as much water/reflection as you have. B/W suits this quite well also. Have I mentioned yet that I like this? :D Take care.
