Born with a silver spoon in my mouth

Your model certainly doesn't appear to have been granted the worldly wonders received from the silver spoon. Great contradiction to an old fable. Would have liked the photo better if the spoon wasn't partly cropped out of the image. The in your face attitude works for me but perhaps not quite "so up close and personal"

Wow!! Realism (the actual flower) to Surrealistic modernism (the reflection) A great imaginative photo and very good execution. If this doesn't make it to ribbon it should at least be in the top five. For creativity alone ! Well done.

What a brilliant idea !! Great imaginative shot and well executed. Perhaps a touch sharper and a more solid blurred background. Certainly deserves a high finish Good luck !!

Normally portraits this close up tend to blur, glare, etc. This is extremely well done and the idea is very imaginative and interesting. Certainly gets viewers attention. Hope it scores high for you. Good luck

Ignore the 1s,2s,10s,and9s. The majority votes were 5-7. Any time you jump out of the box with your thinking, it will either be considered mediocre or the next new rage. Perhaps if this challenge was called "Nudity in the Workplace" you would have scored much higher. Don't become disgruntled with voters here, go out and find a photo gallery that understands your creative style and make your fortune.

Wonderful grainy feel certainly helps to enhance the sad thoughtful expression. One of the better portritures as of late. Very very nicely done ! And perfect timing on your part.

The cloud formation and brightness of them really help to enhance to sad lonely feel of your building. Like the sharp contrast on building also. Good timing on this one. Congrats on a very good photo.

Change the contrast? Change the sharpness? Change the slight Blurring? Wait for more daylight? No to all the above. I love the forlorn lonely feel. Not sure if it will make it to ribbon, but I do like what you accomplished with this shot. Good luck!
