I like the soft focus and subtle lighting.

Almost a pastel softness to the colors. It also has sort of a "fuzzy" appearance, not as in technical focus, but like the surface is "peachy" or fuzzy. Wonderful feel to the image.

I think that turning this shot into a black and white would help. I don't think the color adds anything to the photo, and black and white could give a classy/timeless feel to it. Composition is not terribly interesting, maybe different lighting with more shadows would help.5

Looks like you really captured the mood of the weather with this picture. I'm surprised you also didn't do better with this entry. Almost 70 votes under 5, when you should have gotten at least 7's or higher. People tend to vote higher on the bright and flashy pictures here, so maybe people didn't like the color and mood, but I think they are both really cool.

The softness of focus of this image works, the colour and light are sympethetic to the image, however the dress,or pulled down top give the impression to me of , "drop the top dear and let them hang out"!!! I think that without the top it would have made a more professional image..5

Nice use of complementary colors and good, sharp focus. Wish I could get that kind of cheese here!
