Technical: fits the challenge- that's tacky alright! Exposure good, composition a tad weak, focus and lighting good

Personal: Taken from a good angle for seeing what's going on, but since it looks like you used flash it lit up the tree, branches and wiring as well and they're a bit distracting.

Technical: fits the challenge. Exposure good, composition is weak, focus is off, lighting is good.

Personal: Definitely could be considered tacky, but the centered placement and particularly the unsharpness bring this down.

Wrapped Tree

Technical: Whoa. Boy, does this fit the challenge! Exposure focus lighting all good, composition could be a bit stronger.

Personal: I think this is the strongest fit in the entire challenge, somehow the candy canes stuck in the bare dirt really add to the tackiness!!

All that Glitters

Comment:
Technical: fits the challenge. Exposure composition focus lighting excellent.

Personal: The only thing I would say is that the lipstick itself doesn't look smooth, like you'd expect lipstick to look in a shot like this. I think that may have to do with the lighting choice, but can't be sure.

looking for bugs

Comment:
Technical: fits the challenge. Exposure composition focus lighting all good, though I don't get the title.

Personal: This is a lovely photo, but for me the color choices really detract from the image. I find myself looking more at the coloring (particularly around the lips and chin- it just look wrong) than at the image itself.

Tiny Dancer

Technical: fit the challenge. Exposure composition focus good, lighting is bothersome. The shine on the ladybug's back is distracting- not sure if there is a red light on the leaf or not, but the color seems weird.

Personal: Great idea, but I think this could be stronger.
