Candy Surprise

Generally not a bad image and a marvelous concept.
You might consider two changes:
1-Try a smaller crop or apply different post processing to remove the distracting vignetting and/or color casting from showing up on the corners. 2-Position the candy centered at either the upper or lower left "rule of thirds" intersection point for increased viewer esthetics.

Nicely setup. Good perspective and generally a good shot. If possible, for next time consider positioning your model further from the backdrop screen and shooting at a wide f/stop (low number) for a narrower DOF to prevent the backdrop screens wrinkles from showing up.

Enter Romeo

Comment:
Act 2, Scene II would have a better choice where Romeo, in his famous soliloquy, enters and makes this declaration into the morning mists when, in her radient beauty, Juliet suddenly appears at her window...

"But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun."

Now THAT is romance!

Mick... what an amazing high quality image. You are to be commended for placing high in this very, very competative challenge. Btw, thanks again for your framing advice, my January showing was a good success and I sold a couple prints. I will be in Oregon in early to mid-May and would like to get together to take pictures if that can be arranged.

Zoomer... congrats on a fine image and placement in this challenge. Yours is the highest placing black and white in this challenge. Great to see an Oregonian image do well! I might be up that way in May and try to catch up with you either in Oregon or in Spokane. That would be fun!

Congratulations on this super image from Antelope Canyon. Yours is the classic "light ray" view. You beat out my good friend Tina Faust's Antelope Canyon image by a placing. Both are great pictures.

Congratulations on your great image and placement in this challenge. Just goes to show that Arizona is a great place to take pictures. You notice that Tina Faust was hot on your heels with her Antelope Canyon image?
