The lighting lets this image down somewhat. Try placing a strong light directly behind the smoke and reflect some of it back to give the bottle and smoke form and texture.

The absolute best of the flower pics. Beautiful lighting and composition. The black background enhances the subject matter and your DOF is excellent. Well done (10)

Thanks to all who commented. This was my first attempt at a high-key portrait and I'm over the moon with the result :)

I love the simplicity of this image. The stem winding through the image gives the eye something to follow and the leaf is so strong that it keeps the eye from running off image. The highlight at the top on the stem provides the perfect lead in too. Well done (9)

Touched by the Evening Light

What a beatiful image. Excellent use of light and a very thoughtful, peaceful pose. I matbe would have cropped a little from the left - but that's just me being picky. Very well done (9)

Beautiful image. Great exposure and composition and the lens flare from the sun is very appropriate for this image. Well done (9)

Sun Kissed Body

Beautifully exposed and composed. Provocative image that shows excellent form through great use of available light. The only picky thing that I would dare suggest is that the small area of clothing (?) over the right breast is distracting. If, by removing it, the pic was too revealing then maybe just a slight crop would rectify it. Still an awesome image - well done (10)

This is simply one the best sunset images that I have ever seen. Composition and exposure are perfect. What more can I say except 10/10. Awesome work.
