Wow, this is fantastic! Very different from the large number of "obviously posed" images.

"The Box" Every Woman Lusts After

I feel like the composition is a little too smushed up towards the top. But, it makes for an interesting feel - where I want to stare at the photo for a very long time. So overall I think the composition is not a bad thing. And of course the colors, lighting, and DOF are stunning.

While I find the background busy and feel you could have edited this in a way to make it seem less flat, I love what you did with the challenge - using the box to make a photo, not being a huge in-your-face subject, but part of the photo nonetheless. I think it's a great way to approach the challenge.

I love everything except the bra - maybe if she were more in the box and you couldn't see the bottom of the bra it would look like a lacey wedding dress? Otherwise I think this is well-done and quite creative, and I love the writing on the box as I think it adds to the meaning of a person being in the box.

This looks like half a Dove ad. And that is a compliment. So real... not massively overprocessed... yet still with the sense that you brought out the best in the model.... I hope I'm making sense. Suffice to say, I like it a lot.

Gorgeous photo! Maybe a tad too dark on the edges for my tastes, compared to the brightness of the color in the center. Aside from that minor issue everything else just seems so great.... such life and energy, captured not only in the colors but also the motion, the expression... very good.

This is very very gorgeous. I love the dreamy feel. Maybe a tad oversaturated but I do think that the saturation helps have a good impact. I love the dark background as well - really sets off the colors.

Wow, this is GORGEOUS! I love the contrast, including the blown out part, and the colors in the sky are AMAZING. In addition, the perspective here is very engaging and dramatic. Great job!!

The thumbnail is very simple and not with, for me, a lot of impact, but I knew there was going to be something special... and full size it just grabs me and doesn't let me go!! I don't know what it is about the image.. maybe the intense gaze coupled with the intense lighting.... in any case, you did a very wonderful job! Surprising that you did very little editing - it looks to me like you spent a long time getting things perfect!
