The image as a whole seems dark and there are some areas where the lighting is too harsh. It looks like with more balanced lighting the pattern in the stem could have been brought out.

Just a little too dark I think. THe colors are nice, the image is nice, maybe a bit to over sharpened though.

Hi Wendy. You got an original shot for the color challenge here, I don't have that kind of imagination! Is this all your lipstick?

You've set this one up well. Contrary to what has been commented below I think the white background works well. I don't think a black background would have brought those colors out as vividly as here. The DOF also works. I like the way the lips sticks dissolve into bluriness in the blackground, awesome effect. The colors are good, the composition also, you've left enough breathing space at the front :-)

The border is a bit exaggerated though. I think the red clashes too much with the image colors. I find a neutral color or black may have been better here. Also it is a little disturbing (for me anyway, but then again I always look for little small things, he he) that the lipsticks are not parallel and evenly distanced.

But overall, a very good image which I liked immediately.

Happy Easter.

Weird concept. The circles and pizza pie references tie it to pi, I guess. It's not very aesthetically pleasing.

Nice idea. However, the white background makes it a little to severe.
