All that Glitters

Well I didn't like this photo when I looked at it this morning. Didn't like it when I looked at it this afternoon, and don't like it now. I am sorry but this is a bad photograph made worse by the attempt to fix it in photoshop or some other imaging software.The compositiion of the photo is ok but it's down hill from there. Though it fits (bearly) into the challenge the first thing that comes to mind when you look at this photo is commercial not macro. The lighting is way to strong here a much softer tone is needed. The photo is over exposed by at least 1 to 1 1/2 stops. The top of the lipstick container is washed out as is the top front of the cap. The shadows in the picture just do not match the lighting. No matter how you use the light (angles/strenght) or even fill flash the shadows just do not match. There has been a lot more image editing and enhancing here then the photographer states and it is all bad. I could go on here and type for another hour but it would prove useless. The photographer of this photograph knows what was done and clearly understated it in there comment box. How this got the score it did is beyond me. I would have to rate it a 1 or 2

Not at all easy to do but you have succeeded - very attractive double portrait of two lovely girls.

This is a wonderful picture, I think the softness is just a little overdone.

Great subject, even lighting, and excellent composition. My only problem (very minor, however) is the top of the image. I might have tried to crop it a bit more but it is excellent as is.

A nice idea and nice toning, but the small text is virtually unreadable.
