beautiful image. Not sure I like the border but I love the colors otherwise. Not sure what this has to do with friends but I gave you an 8 anyway. Kind of haunting.

I gave this one a 10 because I think it is the best of what's in the challenge. Its a beautiful shot, cropped well, in focus, excellent color.

If the sideways lady had been a little more to the right and the highlights not on the other womans face, this would be an excellent shot.

you made me laugh. I'll give you one for that. Focus is good but POV might have been better lower. Composition pretty good but colors seem off. 6

Star light, star bright, first star I catch tonight
by dahkota

Comment:
Thank you to everyone for your comments. They are much appreciated.
How I did this: Chair - 2" tall, dead bush from backyard (trimmed to look more like a tree, spray painted black) magenta/red silk background (silk chosen for added texture, color chosen to stay away from yellow), black fleece blanket (chosen for complete lack of reflection), beads shaped like stars.
I saturated the yellow and the red as far as possible without blowing out either color.
I thought a 'textured' background would work better - some agree and some disagree. I am creating a better version of this shot with a little less texturing, more "star" looking stars and a lighter background.
thanks again for all your input!

Interesting. color is a bit off - probably the pink/red light used. focus is good. not sure what oyu were going for here.
