Comment by Tommy 2 Tone:
I really like the photo but the contest siad to use a single light source "to dramatically light the subject of your choice". I think your lighting is really good just not dramatic

Comment by Bud:
Nice images... it seems that the range of contrast is narrow, which makes the image appear flat.

[i] Compositionally very strong. [ii] The highlights on the glove in the third panel are all dead and gone. They could possibly be saved with masking adjustment layers or burning them in. Try selecting highlights with CTRL-ALT-~ (tilde), copying to a new layer with CTRL-J, and setting the blending to multiply. That is often helpful to me. [iii] The differing color treatment of the middle panel is throwing me off. I would guess that you wanted to ensure primary focus on the middle panel - perfectly understandable - but my eye is strongly drawn to the red in the flowers to the point of real distraction from the rest of the image.

Comment by Rasmus:
You really know the trade of making photographs.
The capture, light etc. seems like perfection.

Perhaps it could be interesting to try some non-classical composition
and experimenting with giving the picture a twist.
