Can anyone recommend a nice sauce to go with hat?

Great shot - I agree with the cropping (to include traffic light etc.) And even better considering it was your first shot with a new camera.

I'm not sure what 'Metamucil' is!

Brave decision to frame it like that! - But I think it works. Well, it adds to the impression of 'drunkeness' anyway.

Excellent! - Should have got the blue though :)

One of the best images I've seen in a long time. Composition is spot on. Evocative, and very beautiful.

Composition and colours are good. And the models expression is great. Overall gives a nice dreamy quality. But, (as the other comments said) too much Neat Image - the background looks odd.

If you really need to use NI on this shot I'd suggest one of two things;

1) Go easy on it - Make sure the background trees are still reasonably sharp

or

2) Buy the version which plugs in to Photoshop and allows you to apply the effect to just a selected area of the shot. That way you can Neat Image the girl and leave the trees alone. (In fact, you can achieve the same effect in PS with the free version of NI and a couple of layers) - But I'll leave that to your imagination.... :)

So Kita beat you again? :) (Left a comment on her shot btw)

I think this would have worked better if his t-shirt had been all light grey. As it stands, it 'mixes in' with your dress half-way down. The lighting is a bit harsh as well, especially on the left of the man. Was this on-camera flash?

Good idea though, and it was a refreshing change from the other entries in the challenge.

Hi Kita, congratulations on another great shot!

I think this would have done even better if you'd had the boy in front in focus (that's the only reason it lost a point with me) - But 5.326 is a pretty good score.

Plus you beat your mum.... :)

Excellent. If this doesn't ribbon I'll be very surprised. I love the colours and the composition. and it's an imaginative concept which fits the challenge perfectly. Funny title too.
