Creative use of the sheets etc and lighting good enought to create a realistic enough scene. Mayeb little more depth for the bird on right.

Love the concept. Unfortunately the earing, however rich in authenticity, is a stumbling block. What rings true is that Mother Eggressa is not an adept with lipstick.

Feedback from the DPChallenge Critique Club! :D

First of all, this is quite a charming subject, but since the entire photo has a lack of quality, and it wayyyy out of focus, it's hard to really connect with the image. This is quite an interesting setup, however you can't really see the feet of the figures and the rest of the image is filled with a low-detail background. The colors don't really work correctly here and those are the reasons why you didn't get above a 4.5 Lastly, almost always, you want your subject to be facing out into the largest portion of the photo. Like this. Photographers do this because it gives the eye the ability to fill in the rest and complete the tapestry of art the photography communicates. Cropping in a little harder on the right would set this photo to compositional correction. Otherwise, good eye for composition.

I wish I could be more helpful but I just don't see what else to fix in this photo. From your profile I can tell you have a good eye, but I just don't see that in this photo. I hope I was helpful! Message me with any questions you have.

not a bad picture at all, but the egg looks dirty which takes away from the overall affect.

You obviously put some work into this but it's just not a very appealing image

Greetings from the Critique Club.

First impressions are that this is a picture of a flower which is opposite of what the challenge asked for.

Technically this seems to be soft with no area in sharpness. This may be on purpose to give the "through the window" look you were going for? Other than that it's not bad technically, composition is good with great lines to guide us from flower to flower. Exposure is good with the bright areas just being held back from being overly bright.

Artistically this is very good. Nicely processed to give a "dreamy" feel and the use of the softness heightens this.

In summary this is a nice shot that would have scored quite well if it hadn't been totally against what the challenge wanted :(

Feel free to PM me if you have any queries.

It doesn't effect my vote, but are those flowers real? More just curious. I like the sepia.
ETA: Taking a look at this again, I also like the background chains or whatever they are. They draw the viewer through things nicely.

Are you going for the brown? [In case no one else mentioned it! :) ]
