I like it that the really look like they're having fun. I'm not so sure about that backdrop ...

Into The Mist
by Little King

Comment:
I like the lighting overall and the mist effect. The model's expression doesn't seem to fit the scene somehow, at least in the most common interpretations I'd make of this setting. It will be interesting to read your notes afterwards.

Great color on the hair and eyes, not too keen on the BG though it's neutral enough and well enough set up and lit to not be a problem either. I used an off-center and partly dynamic pose myself, so I like that aspect as well : )

Fingers in Cookie Jar (Tongue in Wine Glass)
by marcellieb

Comment:
Last week was the celebration of Passover, during which every person attending the Seder or ritual meal -- children included -- is commanded to drink four glasses of wine.

A sip of wine with dinner is more likely to promote a healthy and moderate attitude towards alcohol, rather than making it "forbidden fruit" more subject to secret, irresponsible overconsumption or teetotalling, both of which are (statistically) less healthy than moderate drinking.

Only because I hadn't gotten around to reading them yet -- I don't read them during the voting period.

Originally posted by BakerBug: Your title is perfect for this shot. However, it lacks any punch to hold your interest.

Yes, exactly like most photos found in textbooks. I intentionally made it look the way it does, even though it makes the image less "appealing" as a work of "art."

Thanks -- I almost tried to burn in the very far shoreline as it crosses the horizon, but I couldn't get a natural look.

Here's the original -- I'm especially happy that people think the colors are good, as color-correction is one of the things I have the most trouble with.

A better (if more dangerous) shot if you're driving too.
