A kickstand?? A fake Imperial chainwheel?? A MONGOOSE?? For shame!
(just kidding... I think I would have liked the picture better if there was a person wearing the shoes sitting on the bike though)

I think the crop is perfect.....I kept trying to visualize it cut below the nose and couldn't figure why it didn't work that way.....not paying close enough attention I guess.....YES....it is the hair curl....subtle detail that adds a lot.......again.......great image! .......and congrats!

Thanks for the feedback!
Judy, I appreciate the breakdown. Frankly, I'm surprised no one noticed there was only one earring! :D
Also, I considered cropping below the nose, but really wanted the hair curl in there, so opted no to...
Thanks again, I had great fun with it.

This is such a clever idea. I think that a little more attention to the details would have made this just about perfect for the challenge. All the white (plate, cloth and collar) is a bit much IMO and a bit on the yellowish side. The plate seems to be sitting a bit uneven, but that could be from the shadow. I think the crop suggestion for just below the nose is a good idea as well. And the hands don't look bad at all, but I think it would carry the "fashion" idea a bit more effectively with longer polished nails.

The chopsticks are a wonderful touch and the shoes are perfect for the shot. Congratulations on your great finish!

LOL! Thanks, Ken. Close enough to smell the ribbons, but ... I don't mind fourth place, tho'. :D
