Favorite blanket

I really have to study this. Part of me likes it. Part of me isn't sure. I love the DOF. I love the single claw. I think it might be the color of the blanket/towel. Hmmmm - for now, I'm giving it a high mark. LOL

A little bit deeper DOF would put this picture over the top. If the bottle were in sharp focus with the glass, but keeping the flowers in the background out of focus, it would give this picture a lot more pop.

Focus is excellent. Color is nice, though a little bit washed out in some areas probably because of the lighting, which is good but maybe a smidge harsh. Its an interesting image, the rose seems a little out of place to me, but I don't know much about the LiveStrong foundation so maybe there's a significance I'm unaware of. If it was added to give more elements to the image, I'm not sure it succeeded since as a viewer I think it looks odd. Still its nicely rendered and just the shirt may have been too barren. A solid image. 6

Great DOF on everything behind the glass. Unfortunately, the glass and the refracted image appear to be out of focus too.

That sounds like SO MUCH FUN. Don't you love it when you don't just get a good picture (which this one is -- I love it) but also a fun memory from a photo shoot?

Tis a nice shot, to me, and you already know that it comes across as a bit dull, water color seems a bit off, and exposure MAY have been a bit too quick, try the same shot with exposure of 1/3 second or longer, and see if you do not like it better! Sorry, think you honestly deserved a bit higher mark!

Nice jersey
Extra points for the cycling reference
Extra extra points for Armstrong reference
The only thing that would make it better for me would be if it was a action shot, instead
