I LOVE the concept of this picture! The lighting is great, you have a perfect catch-light in her eyes, and the composition leads you from past memories into the present. :) The only thing that may have bumped this picture even higher for me is if contrast/levels had been used just a little more to help it "pop" a little more (it seems just a bit low in contrast, though that may just be my monitor... ;) ). Great job!

I like that you used such a shallow DOF to put just those drops in sharp focus. :D The only improvement I could possibly suggest would be to use levels and possibly desaturation to make the dark tiles completely black.

Beautiful shot! :) The gold tone on the rock contrasts very well with the blue tones in the rest of the image.

I really like the shot, but wish there wasn't so much darkness and that we could see the ritual up close.

Very nice use of DOF. :) The lighting you've used gives a very "soft" feel to the cup and plate - very nice.

Great idea and great photo. :) My only possible suggestion for improving this would have been to bring the highlights down a bit.

I really like this original idea and the angle of this shot. :) I think the black & white really helps add to the ghostly appeal. Nice job!

Excellent way to tie the themes together! :) My only possible suggestions for this shot would be to use a much deeper DOF to bring everything into focus and to maybe bring the contrast up just a little. Great shot though. :)

I think this shot is very well lit. :) I like how the green stem on the left seems to fade into the darkness.
