There's simply not enough light on that honey. I like your background a lot though.

I'm fighting the square crop on this. I really want to see the top of the bottle. Missing the bottom isn't bothering me as much. I think the background glass should be a touch more in focus. You're almost completely losing it in the backdrop. I understand that you want it out of focus, but I think you went a little too far with it.

I think the background glass draws attention to the backdrop actually, and I'm not sold on your backdrop. Bringing that glass more in focus would help define it from your cloth.

This looks a touch over processed mainly in the hair. I also think a tighter crop would look better and bring her beautiful face closer (also eliminating some of the background stuff). She has a very pleasant facial expression. I can understand why you chose that title.

I'll be perfectly honest here. She's a beautiful girl, but my first thought was "shoplifter." I can't even really explain why I thought that. I guess it sort of looks like a security camera photo.

Pretty young teen + security camera = shoplifter

The tones are very pleasant. I think if the background was less in focus and whatever is in the foreground wasn't there, this could be a nice photo. Even without the foreground object this could be a lot better.

I would actually like this more without the bird. The water and plants have a great texture to them and great colors. The focus wasn't dead on with the bird and I think that's what is hurting the photo as a whole.

That water droplet is so perfect I'm inclined to say it's fake. If it's fake then the photo isn't all that great, because it's the water drop that's making the photo. If it's real there's a wow factor. I'm torn. I know I should assume it's real and vote accordingly. Hmmmmmmmmm...

Your trees look very strange. Is that a sharpening glow? The right half of the photo is beautiful though.

This has a great painting feel to it. Love the colors. Good choice in composition. I don't think the stem could be pointed in a better direction. It's just a pleasant photo overall.

That blue eye is truely perplexing. Normally you can understand why someone did something, but I just don't get it. You say it was to accent the black around the eyes, but why one eye?

I agree with the posters below. This shot could sell given the right venue. I can honestly say I've never seen a photo quite like it. It's an excellent representation of the heat firefighters endure. Those waves are intense!

On a technical standpoint I think the photo could use a little cropping. As it is right now the left shingles in the frame compete for my attention. I'd take a 640 crop from the lower right. That takes some off the top and some off the left. You lose that lick of fire coming in from the top which I really like, but I think it improves the photo as a whole.

Hindsight: Actually the more I flip between my trial edit and yours I don't know which I like better! It's a great photo either way.
