It would have been neat if the background was black, and the model was wearing black..so everything blended in.

Hmmm... This photo actually has a lot of potential, but the uninspiring background detracts from your subject. The creases in the background are distracting. It would work better if the background were either solid (as in a studio) or if we saw more of this candles's surroundings. The smoke from the candle is an excellent visual illustration of wind. I give this one a 7 -- for concept, if not execution.

The background is simple, yet distracting at the same time. I don't find the image to be very interesting. It seems very plain. I do like the colors. The reds bring things together.

Comment by rkligman:
Bad angle for the model. Her glasses look rather strange with the angle. Yellowish tint on her is not good either.

Doh! I see the start of the 8th one. Seeing that one, lets me know that there weren't really just 7 of these, that you cheated and cropped it just to make it look like there were 7 of them...but oh well...you got it anyway. lol. I think the thing about this shot that bugs me a little is the lighting. seems dark. when I think of roses, I think of bright, glowing flowers. play with the brightness/contrast and maybe up the saturation a bit. I think that could make this really punch. Fucs on the flower seems a slight bit soft. I like the repetition. ~Heather~
