CPTdos, ayos!

Not very creative or gimmicky, but still a well-done SP. The red background hurts my eyes and you would've been more guapo without it.
Flash-lit? A diffuser in front of that white light source would help, IMO.

CPTtoo, only later!

OKay, I'll keep it short:
(+)
Nice subject -- or subjects, rather. The subtle vibrancy of the colours do take the cake for this particular shot. The choice of BG's not really that great, but works nonetheless,
(-)
The shallow DOF was very detrimental as I bet a lot of people took of points for it. It was very distracting and compositionally unhelpful. A deeper DOF would've worked better.
The shadows under the banana don't help as well. A diffuser in front of the light, or maybe a repositioning, would've lessened (or eliminated) said shadows.

Good luck on next challenges!

CPTII, oi!

Wow, nice cityscape. Flip it horizontally and you'd've got "DPC" on them lights.;p
The colours are amazing, the exposure dead on, but it's the sharpness (or un-sharpness, rather) that hurt your shot, placing it where it is now. So mebbe a little more sharpening next time.

This shot burns the eyes, yeah?;p
It doesn't really fit that well in this particular challenge but still, it's a nice cityscape.
Wouldn't have the composition any other way, ang I guess a little sharpening wouldn't've hurt. Nice sky as well.

I very seldom browse dpc, I can see that I should! This is an excellent capture my friend, would have done great in a challenge, but maybe there was no challenge that fit. :) Some dpc'ers would just have entered any challenge, guess you're not that kinda guy :-))

Comment by accady:
I like the true sense of happiness in the scene and the way it drives my attention from the glass of wine to the couple. I didn't like the extensive detail and the lamp in the background.

There are only two things that can criticize about this image: (1) I wish the teeth weren't so white (looks a little fake) and (2) The camera had been a bit to the right or left to avoid the lamp shade growing out of the woman's head. Otherwise, I think this is a truly gorgeous shot! I would love to be in this scene... food, comfort, beauty, wine, ... you've got it all. Is this you, Shail? Nice job!

Aaw, that's sweet! Not sure I like the idea of happiness being considered an indulgence - I consider it to be the central tenet of my life. Then again my whole life could be considered a luxury given that I'm within the subset of the human population that doesn't have to worry about food, shelter, water, health...

I like the toning you've used here and the cacaphony of different patterns and textures too - make the environment richer. In my top 20 this challenge.
