"Take a photo in which the background is white and the subject is predominately a "light" color"

You titled this "Literally". Well, it's literally light falling on white, I recognize that, but this is not a white BG with a light subject,a s you have rendered it. However, it's a striking image, and I like it very much. I'll sretch it to a 7. You're pl;aying the same kind of game I do, it seems :-)

It's a sweet image but I feel like a hint of "horizon" or soemthign is needed, additional surface texture, I don't know... 8

Perhaps the most effective of the "natural" images, in challenge terms. Lovingly rendered. 9

Tecnicaslly and compositionally really outstanding. I have mixed feelings about the chroma of the white, it's so warm. Overall there's a bit of a sense of white-on-grey here, I am giving it a 9.

nice work, emotionally not very compelling, technically well done except where you lsoe the separation on the upper right side of the glass.

technically very sweet, compositionally somewhat less so. strong entry.

Comment:
This is a beautiful and luminous composition but it somewhat skirts the challenge terms in that the BG is rendered as predominantly gray. nevertheless, we can call that a 'shade of white'... I am voting the ones that were able to use pure white effectively somewhat higher, but I congratulate you on a lovely composition. 8

Snow white

By far the best of the portraits in challenge terms. very nicely done. I won't give it a 10 because the subject is lighter than the BG, but a 9 from me.

Extremely nice. I hope it is not voted down for the not-pure-white BG. 9
