I almost always love a good reflection, but in this case I think the feeling of solitude is broken by the reflection. A lovely shot and perfectly exposed, and without the reflection it would have been in the ribbons. Great work on the blue fill light on the arms.

Love the idea, a bit too dark for me

Super detail and a fitting message, (but I would check with your league, because I am pretty sure that that is not a legal-regulation bowling ball...)

I think that she needed to be closer to the candle I don't mind the darkness but her face needs to be more the focal point instead of the candle and right now it is very secondary. The weird catch lights in her eyes take away from the mood you are trying to create. I like the reflection much more than I like the main part of the photo. I think in this case it would have been better to have her looking in a different direction, right now her look is leading me away and out of the photo. I think looking more to the side like the reflection or right at camera would have been better. I think this photo is a good idea but is suffering a bit from minimal editing. I think most problems could have been fixed in advanced.

This is beautiful. The white background and pastel pink feather really makes this feel delicate.
