The contrast is amazing, and that's what truly makes this composition work.

Hauntingly beautiful composition. The post-processing has transported this into another realm of artistry. 9 from me.

Just a small suggestion (not affecting my rating): consider feathering out those edges into the white of the border and then framing this in an old weathered gray wood frame. It would be lovely, and a perfect piece for a bathroom or kitchen.

Lovely. There's something about the bottom left corner that makes me feel like my eyes aren't focusing right, though. I have no idea what it is...maybe something slightly obscuring the lens there? Maybe I'm the anomaly, but if others are mentioning this too, then you might consider sharpening the focus of this composition by cropping from the left and bottom to get the center part of the flower in the lower right corner instead. I think that wouldn't compromise the composition, even if it would mean losing a substantial portion of the rest of the flower. 6 from me.

The Perfect Bride

I love the angle and vantage, the softness of the skin, and the lighting. But I loathe the "posed" look of the subject...as though she's waiting for someone off the screen to take the "real" picture, and this one was just caught from someone else in the room, perhaps standing on the bed looking down at her during her photo shoot. That's not a criticism of the shot's execution...just something that for me weakens the artistic persuasiveness of its content.

The lights really make this composition work, but the graininess and feeling of overexposure interferes with the overall effect of that.

I think the colors are just a smidge oversaturated in this composition. It gives this photo a "hot" feeling that is not very attractive to me. Otherwise, a lovely vantage, which might be improved only be a small crop along the bottom to eliminate those corner weedes on the water.

I could be wrong, but those individuals in the shot look awfully "fake" to me--perhaps the result of lighting which "feels" inconsistent with the rest of the composition (particularly the arms and hair of the runner). Overall, however, this is a love piece.

The composition is perfect, but the colors are not. I realize that there's little you could do about that, and it looks like the post processing has attempted to mitigate this with some success, but I remain unpersuaded by the tints. 7 from me.

It looks like an artistic filter has been very tastefully applied to this composition. The effect is brilliant. You need to print this one out on canvas or a couch throw or something...it would be well worth the 100 bucks or so to do it, and this piece is just begging (no pun intended) to be shown off in an interior decor. 10 from me.
