the line of the chalkboard is not parallel to the photo. This takes away a bit from the balance of this photo, which is otherwise terrifically done.

Very nice dynamic portrait. I think the square composition here kills the dynamics alittle, though. A horizontal shot would have been a lot more appealing to me. 8 and not a 10 because of that.

intrusting shot but the boarder was a misstake in my opinion

I really like the use of the border, looks like it could be an ad for sheet music. Only thing I'm not crazy about is the candle holder

I like the candle and the border line blends with the flame color.

I embrace the idea for this image, enjoy the aesthetics of notes and paper against the black space which surrounds it, appreciate the compositional sense.

The ornate candle holder (despite a potential connotation with the 'baroqueness of opera) , however, vs. the retro 'mode' of the inserted border, exceeds my capacity for appreciation.

What is left, to me, is a potentially satisfying image (with excellent technical attributes, especially via exposure) that has been reduced to a sentimentality.
