Seeing Squares

I like the concept of the shot. The child peering though the matte leads me to wonder what he's looking at. I however am unclear as to how the squares were done. Some Photographer Comments would help here. Based upon what I see, I think that you must of projected them with a transparency projector. With your camera settings as they were that light must have been really bright. That said, the lighting seems a little flat. I would like to have a true white within the border or darker black in the shadow or perhaps it's just that the squares are at an angle... I can't pindown what it is, but the image doesn't grab me. The elements are all here it but don't click for me.

Brilliant unusual color combination. The texture of the leaves is very attractive. I find the highlights a tad glarey ( small nitpick). Lots of bite on the edge of all blossum bits, great. Nice high key border that accents the image well. Good job.

I don't like the white bg. It makes the lighting seem too harsh. The center of the flower also seems oversharpened but maybe it's just all the texture creating an illusion. It's still a decent studio shot though. 7

I think you overdid the brightness/intensity/contrast on this one. It's a nice subject and it's a shame you overdid it-5

Composition: The red part seems to make the pic a little 'top heavy'. Excellent otherwise.
Technical: Fantastic colour, contrast, lighting and border. Good DOF.
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: At least a top 10 in my book. 9

Really like this- the all white backround really makes it stand out. Nice work.
