Generally good exposure and DOF; however, the grimace fails to charm. Also, what in the world is going on with her feet? I'm trying to figure out why her left leg appears to be on backwards.

There's a great deal to like about this painterly photograph, but the face is rather dark and soft, and the highlight on the right of the chair is quite distracting.

I just figured out how you got that very particular lighting effect. How perfect.

Glad to see, however belatedly, an entry from you. I hope you'll keep playing the DPC game.

Gorgeous! I love the deep rich tones. The overall soft focus lends an air of abstraction that works for me. Any way you could tone down the two bright petals a bit? I think that would make this image even stronger.

A Captivating Read

Coming back to comment after reading this post. I didn't see the face either--I saw a curious arrangement of books, but it didn't resolve into any structure for me. I gave you a 6 for what appeared to be deliberate weirdness; you'd have gotten more points from me for better sharpness in the areas of interest and for more careful lighting with less of a yellow cast.

Ursula, I would not have guessed this was you. I enjoy being surprised by photographers whose work I admire and who have a style that is often recognizable.

Copper and Concrete

I gave you a 6 for technical merit and for its standing out as, e.g., not another picture of a flower or bug. But to me it lacked much depth or contrast; the crack and splotch could be interesting elements but weren't really present enough to add much. Reading your comments now, this photo does somewhat come across as a "pretty much all I could think of" kind of image. Cheers, I still love ya.

Photo is very strong; nicely composed and exposed, although there are some hot spots at the edge of the clouds nearest the sun. Topically and with reference to your title, I think this would be stronger if there were only one chair.
