Wonderful use of light and I love the contrast of the black background. There's a tiny visible smudge in the lower right quadrant, but I was staring for a while before I saw it. Very nice. bumping up.

The natural lines are fantastic. Colors are excellent. This fits the challenge quite well as a serious study. Good job. bumping up.

Good idea and well laid out (if a little creepy). But I'd like to see a bit more light on the knife. It's almost too dark.

Interesting capture. I wish you could have gotten the spider in better focus. Still a lovely image.

Your dsaturation is a little yellow/green and the contrast is high, causing some detail to be bown out. This is a nice pose and seemingly well though out. Just needs a little more post-processing

Nice image but a little small. I like the framing of the animal within the fence.

Came here via your post. This might have done better than the one submitted, but then the one submitted should have done better, so who knows.. This is a very pretty pose and her expression with the slight tilt of her head and the hair is her face hints at the beginning of a question. This pic is a little brighter than the other, and as such,while more cheerful, also shows the wrinkle in your backdrop. I still like that color though. All around a very good portrait.
