A Pure Scent

Beautifully cropped to really highlight the swirling pattern of the petals. Nice composition with the main curve from top to bottom (at the right hand side) formed by the two-three touching petals there. Yellow shadow detail adds depth. Good choie of border though not sure of choice of grey colour for the thicker smudged border element.

A Pinecone In Autumn
by GolferDDS

Comment:
This definitely conveys that slightly musty pine smell that is so evocative of the season. I like the use of shallow DOF to throw out foreground and background, and like choice of getting in close to subjects.

Ahhhhhhh.... nothing like the smell of coffee in the morning.

Lighting seems harsh and brings out shiny nature of skin (could do with diffuse light source and powdered skin). But choice to go tight in on subject and to have model close her eyes, works well. I'd like to see more symmetry in the position of her fingers.

Nice use of low DOF and good tight crop into the subject.

Lighting seems a little dull, composition and simplicity of composition works for me.

Nice composition and viewpoint and use of smoke to add interest at top of frame.
Would allow just a small touch more of background at the right edge so that tip of holder isn't quite so close to edge of frame. Just a touch though.
Also curious as to how lower DOF would work - I think it could add further interest.

Incense

I like what you're doing here.
I'd like to suggest some very minor changes which might (in my opinion only) improve the image.
The incense burner seems on a slight tilt within the frame. I think this may be because of viewpoint/ position of the camera since the tip seems to be fairly vertical but the whole item doesn't quite seem straight.
The incense cones on the right - I'd move the one that is partially hidden by the burner to the right just a touch and infact move all of them to the right just a touch - feels more balanced to me.
I like the subtle shape and effect of the smoke - is it a long exposure?

Very festive, certainly the kind of image I can imagine being used in seasonal articles in weekly/ monthly magazines.

Good and simple composition. Interesting lighting.

I guess I can imagine the smell without too much trouble but the image itself lacks punch/ interest. It doesn't (for me) stand alone as an interesting image. Focus also seems a little soft.
