Waiting for the Elves

Almost looks like a painting with these extra saturated colors and the soft focus. I like it but am missing a strong focal point.

I want you soft-boiled

Really soft, almost abstract image, I like it a lot. Great bands of color, maybe lower left corner a bit too dark. Good idea.

The softness really works well here. Great use of the light and the color of the hair.

I like the colors and the structure of the leave (?) combined with the bubbles. Good idea to use ice as a soft focus filter.

Just For Men!

Love the clarity, the soft colors, and the female bottle in the background, and how that one is lit to emphasise the female form. Nice and clean as well, no disturbing reflections, good symmetry of light in the bottle, spray hose in the bottle removed. Small thing : it could use a 1 degree rotation anti-clockwise.

Blacklight ? I like the cool effect it gives. The reflection of the light in the middle at the back should have been avoided. Composition is fine, I would have move the bottle with the red cap slightly to the right so it is not lined up with the one behind it, but that is a small thing. Overall the image could use a bit more contrast, more life.

Your objects don't match your title. You should have polished the tap. Shiny objects need to be really clean otherwise they bring down the whole image. The crop could have been closer so you remove the picture at the back, on the left. Also, the towel could have been taken away. Then use a different light, not this hard flash and the whole image would have become much stronger. it is a lot about reduction, remove things, make it simpler, more clean.

You have made it very difficult for yourself to get a good image out of this, a very black dog on a very white floor, and an object very close to the lens and also farther away, both intended to be sharp. Now the dog is underexposed, floor overexposed, it would need much softer light, to reduce contrast. Also bouncing back the light to lighten up the head of the dog would have helped, it is now in the shadow. Or take the same picture with the light coming from your back, instead of from the front (wathc youw onw shadow then!!).

Can you smelllllllll what 'The Rock' is cooking?

No I can't, I don't understand the title or the image. I see a picture of a stone, does not express smell to me. It is lit by the hard light of a flash, surrounded by strong shadows, try bouncing the flash against the ceiling for a softer effect.
