Veru nice, an origianal idea. I think the idea and setup were well done but I feel you fell short on the lighting and execution of the shot. Still a nice vote.

Great idea but I think you fell short on the execution part.
I think the composition and lighting could have been better.

Very well done. I love the lens flare effect in a lot of shots, but I think this time it is hurting your shot. There is to much of it and it becomes very annoying. Still a nice high vote.

Very well done. When I first looked at this shot I had a splitting headache and it took me a few minutes to see what it was. Now that I can see it clearly, I enjoy it very much. The setup, lighting, colors and focus all work together very well.

What an original idea.
The lighting is very nice, the small splash of color against the black & white is nice. How did you come up with this idea?

Very nice idea.
I think your object is to small and the background is to bright.
It is hard to tell the shadow from the object.
This would have been a great entry for "Negative Space".
I think overall a tighter shot and cropping would have helped a lot.
Still a high vote for me. Great idea, and setup just not 100% on the execution.

Very good work.

I'm not crazy about the background color.
The shadow seems to be somewhat blury, did you use studio lights instead of sunlight?
The white border I think could have been thinner.

I did several of these shots and the only ones I liked were the ones I shot in bright sunlight, the shadows were 100% better.

This is still a high vote for me.

Very well done. You took a big gamble submitting one of the challenges biggest fears, a "dark" shot. I hope you pull it off. I did not submit my dark shot.

I'm not crazy about the reflection you choice around the mouth but still a good shot.

Excellent work. I love the overall softness to this shot. The lighting couldn't be better. The shadows are mysterious with the bell like shapes within and the title is great. I would love to know how you pulled this off. When it is over please give us all the details on how you set this shot up.
