great scene. I'd like to see a composition that gives the shot a bit more depth as this is fairly two dimensional

I am not really seeing the connection between the title and the shot I am afraid.

That aside I like the setup especially the lighting.

A bit overprocessed in my opinion. On second thought, I think that I would like this treatment if it were converted to black and white

I'd have to agree on the wide angle comment below. Her right hand looks monstrously huge. That aside I like the lighting

um...this is pretty exactly the same as the image you submitted for the Nightmares challenge. Its almost a "count the differences" comparison. Lets see, the wing in this picture and its not in the other one. I see a bit more detail in the darker areas on this one.

I probably won't be the first (or last) to suggest this but why not go with something different?

Nice shot and very topical given the month.

I'd like to see this with a bit more DOF. The angle is interesting however I'd like to what this would look like without the trees in the background.

Great colors and I like the composition. (Almost an X created by the blossoms)

Greetings from the critique club!

Interesting idea for this challenge. Not sure how the water droplets were intended to enhance the picture. (Not saying that they don't its just that I don't see it..)

Good lighting and exposure for this shot. Focus is bang on as well. Composition is interesting but it seems like there's something missing. Perhaps if they were all lined up evently or perhaps in an interesting arrangement. (e.g. created a diaganol line or a wave perhaps?)

Overall a pretty decent shot.

I really like the idea. Hard to execute unfortunately. The shadows are harsh and its hard to actually see the colors (the purple and the green are quite dark). The other colors also look a bit oversaturated.

One thing that might have worked (whether it would be an improvement or not may be debatable) is to actually color the page rather than having melted wax.

In the end, this was a really great idea that was pretty tough to pull off.

Strange...I don't remember this image. Really great capture though. Definitely worthy of a top 10 finish.
