I could see this on the cover, but only if his eyes were in sharper focus than the foreground

Nice coneflower, the the center seems a lot redder than is natural - maybe its just late in the cycle.

this awesome. Very Cadbury's Dairy milk. The milk crown is pretty cliched but you've done a good version of it and the background colour makes it work for me (being a Brit)

Two Flames

Comment:
CC: The two flames make a good complementary colour choice. The harder part is then making it in to an interesting subject. The main problem is getting the lighting interesting on the subject matter and I don't know that you've really achieved that too well here. The overall feeling is drab and dark, particularly with the white/ yelllowish candle.

however, I'm not sure I can suggest an approach that would make these subjects more lively or interesting. Perhaps a more interesting candle choice could have helped or a lighter background. You might have lost some of the flame detail then but it could have lifted the overall impression of the shot. The yellow flame also seems quite overexposed - again difficult to get right with the selected subject matter.

You think that's air you're breathing now?

Congratulations on the win - what was the thinking behind the green lipstick/ red apple - rather than the perhaps more obvious inverse ? Or was it just that you wanted something less obvious/ more jarring ?
