This is a very good photograph! What keeps it from being *great*, for me, is the clutter/color saturation. There is just too much red in the photo to allow the apple (and arm) to stand out enough to really focus the viewer, in my opinion. I would try a little desaturation of the forest floor and leaves, to help your subject stand out.

I really like the fall of light you've got here. This truly does invoke a feeling of a ressurected wizard of old.

Gorgeous! The soft focus *really* works with this picture. One could almost believe you actually ran into this woodland creature. Great job.

absolutely wonderful shot. I can't wait to find out what you used for the sparking effect.. just a regluar sparkler, and then played with levels?

I just want to congratulate your model for being such a sport as to let you paint her.. unless, of course, this is all just hues :) A great look in her face.. very mischevous.

This is a great idea. I imagine the ripple effect was photoshopped? I don't know enough about the rules to know if this'll put your photo in danger of DQ, but regardless, I really like the idea and execution of this. The lighting is very nice.

An elusive Troll setting up camp

Great idea. The lighting really gives the troll a realistic feel, and the POV helps me feel that I'm a traveller accidentally discovering this scene. Nice job.

"Rumplestiltskin" Straw into Gold
by Tressider

Comment:
A great idea, I just find the lighting to be a little too harsh. It's hard to distinguish the gold from the straw. Perhaps a little tighter shot, and a sharper focus would have helped here.
