My first reaction - wow, this is a sublime photo. I wish the tip of the ear wasn't cropped, but otherwise near perfection. 9.

Push Pin

Comment:
Although some might find the push pin body too soft, I am not bothered by that, as I assume it was intentional. What doesn't work so well is that the most vibrant part of this - the metal pin portion- naturally becomes the subject as the eye is drawn to it first. Due to its position, the eye then goes straight out of the photo. I'd like to see this with the pin rotated and the metal tip pointed down into the photo.

Very simple and pretty study. Well done, nice tone in the wine and good shadows.

Great shadow. Daisy looks a bit washed out, however.

Light as a Feather

Thus far the best feather I've seen in this challenge. Very sharp with beautiful details.

Great crop and composition. The sharp focus is also very pleasing without being too "sharpened." Nice job.

The top flower is very sharp and pleasing. The bottom flower, being out of focus, is distracting. I also think the composition might be stronger with just the top petals showing.

Christmas Pearl

Hmmm. I really, really like the lighting and curves in the fabric. I think I would actually prefer it without the ornament though - the hardness of the details/glitter someone doesn't match the soft tones of the rest.

La Margherita Che Emette Luce

Que bella! (Did I get that right- sorry, don't know much Italian). Really lovely backlighting and the narrow band of yellow enhances the photo. The only minus IMO is that there is not quite enough breathing room below and to right of daisy.

Unfortunately does not look sharp and there are some funny shapes in clouds about the peak.
