Tribute to O.Henry

Had to search to get the reference. The cabbage is quite nice, but something doesn't feel right with the composition. I think it would have worked better if the kings were tucked under the cabbage more? Right now they seem too separated for the kings to be that soft. The eye sees it as two different subjects, one out of focus, instead of one composition with a shallow dof (at least that's how my eye is seeing it :) Plus the cards are bright next to the gorgeous lighting of the cabbage, it just keeps drawing the eye to something not as interesting. -5-

A collection of a small number of still life objects on a black background is boring. I don't know the reference. It might be exceedingly clever, and if I knew it, that might get you some more points. But as it is, I don't know it. Normally a boring set of objects is 2 points, but your objects are at least a little quirky and your DOF is narrow, so I'll throw in an extra point. 3

my dogs think cat earwax is caviar. my cats could take it or leave it, from any species - q-tips however are fun to bat around. maybe your cat is a dat... or a cog. in any case, upside down was definitely the way to go!

Her eyes are to die for. Clever idea with the petals and the subtle extra touch of pink of her sweater gives an additional softness.

Voted earlier coming back to comment.

Great tones, lighting, and color on this portrait. I like the rose petal lips for it is definitely something different. Though I don't think silence with this - it makes me think of "speak softly".
