A Pure Scent

I like this shot very much, but the wide white border quite overwhelms it for me. The shadowing around the edges is nice though.

Quite lovely. I adore the soft focus on this, as well as the lighting and color. I would have preferred to be able to see the green of the stem to balance the bit of green on the right and at the top.

My Favorite Scent

Soft and sensuous, meets the challenge for me, but lacking in a good tonal range that would make it more visually appealing.

Beautifully done. I just love the soft focus, and the soft colors. The only thing that I find distracting is what I can see of her facial expression and the way she has her mouth set. I'm sorry, I can't really put my finger on what it is, but it does detract from the overall sensuous feel of the shot, for me. 8

Perfect for the challenge. Absolutely love your DOF, and the shot in general. Visually engaging, with beautiful color. Have to say that I find the border a bit overwhelming.

Looks like an advertising shot, (which is a compliment, BTW!); everything about it is stunning. Very visually appealing, and I have nothing to offer you but praise. Quite lovely.

Cigar Smoke

Beautiful capture, and lovely composition, but it seems to be pointing down to the cigar mentioned in the title, and my eyes want to see it! Wonderful lighting, and I do like the border treatment; overall a very visually appealing shot.

Lovely composition with a very abstract form. Love the color, and the capture of the sinuous nature of smoke. Great for the challenge.

Not entirely crazy about the incense burner in the shot, I think I might have preferred to see just the incense sticks, but it's really the smoke in this shot that captured my attention - it has a nice soft "ephemeral" feel to it that is very appealing. You managed to perfectly capture the wonderful sinuous look of the smoke without giving it hard edges. Very nicely done. I do like your composition, and the border treatment.

Aroma is inspired by nature

Quite a lovely shot. I like the composition, and that I can see just the hint of the flower fading into the background. Not crazy about the shadows in the flower itself, would like to have seen more light filling those shadows in.
