I didn't suspect that this was yours, Bear!

I love the new style work on this.

Congratulations on your TT.

I'd have cropped just the eyes down to the tip of the nose... to REALLY make those eyes pop and to fit the challenge even better.

BUT... since your image beat mine, I think you know what you're doing better than I. :D

Congratulations on your RIBBON!

Greetings From the Critique Club, Don!

I apologize for the late critique... the queue has been backed up for a long while. We seem to have the new requests under control and have started on the backlog from long ago.

Anyway, to the matter at hand.

What a wonderful image of a rather boring subject!

You've really gotten a lot of mileage out of an ear of corn. I love those silks... creating havoc and excitement. Your use of strong lighting also adds to the interest of the image. Well done!


For the record, I disagree with the comment asking for fill light on the dark side. I think that the mystery is my favorite part of the image.

I might have cropped the bottom off... so that the bright spots don't overpower the mystery... but that's my only nitpick.

Congratulations again on your HM!

Yeah, I'm sorry that your image has only just now come up for critique and sorry that you're now gone after entering only this one image.

I'd really enjoy seeing more of your images! Please come back and enter again.

This one is lovely. The colors are stunning... and the capture is very well done.

It scored well, but I think if she'd been throwing water over her instead of the scarf, it would have fit the challenge better and therefore scored higher.

Regardless, this is an image to be proud of.

I really enjoy it.

So close to a Top Ten!

I think what held you back is not your composition... that's wonderful.

Not your colors... those are fabulous.

I see a bunch of noise in your image... It might be your processing... I'm not sure.

The noise is a distraction for me as a viewer.

I totally LOVE your composition... straight on... in my face!

I think the noise held back your score.

Greetings from the Critique Club, Ashutosh!

I really enjoy this image of yours.

It's fresh, and exciting... and fun.

Having been here a bit, I think I know why it didn't score as well as I think it should have... Voters here don't like dolls and replicas of any sort in images.

I don't agree. I like to see images such as what you've done here... telling a story with an image... with characters.

The colors are fun and the crop is fun.

Perhaps... to meet the challenge perfectly, you might have cropped the image even more closely to get a higher score. *sigh*

Greetings from the Critique Club, Susan!

Ha!

I love the UP CLOSEness of this!

PURRRRRfect for the challenge topic. :D

I love how you've captured this for the challenge!

I think that... the only thing that I could recommend is a bit of contrast in the right eye. It seems a bit "red eye"d to me.

The composition is wonderful.
