I loved this during voting, it should have done a ton better!! The colors, the pattern of the dress, the processing...all spot-on. Definitely not a 4.3-worthy photo...!!!!

It does look like it's illuminated from within--wonderful!! I really like this. The shadows are similarly incredible.

Hello hello! Sorry it took me so long to get around to this :)

I really liked this photo when I went through them...the depth of field is really really nice, and I love how sharp the cat is. The colors are lovely and calming, and the exposure is good.

I think the only real problems with this shot are the distracting background on the right and the fact that half the cat is cut off.

This would probably have been around a 6 had I been voting. If the background wasn't distracting and the cat wasn't cut off, it would have been a 7 or an 8.

Hope I helped!! :)

I agree with your assessment...the blurred display definitely detracts from the image, as does the overly bright ring thingy...the player itself is quite well-done though, sharp and clear.

It's ridiculously hard to photograph electronics; I photographed my cellphone once, and had to use the GIMP to put the screen in afterwards.

A couple other detractors are the funky pattern in the upper part of the picture and the constellation of dust/hot pixels in the left.

Had I been voting, this would probably been a 4 or a 5...
