Not sure what the black/white in the background is but the bottom and background so blurry is a little much... and what is the green in the glass?

wo wo wo....way way blown out. the leaves in the front give the image a snapshot kind of feel and the lack of detail due to the blown out highlights make this shot an overall one imho

Getting a lower angle would raise the leaves up into the sky and framethe photo better. Like the setting, hope its close by lots of good photos waiting to be taken there.

I'm not sure of this photo. The leaf at the top is what draws you in, but is it the basis for your photo? Good try.

Toning on this a little harsh on the red side. Think it would have been better with softer colors. The image itself is interesting. Not sure what I am supposed to take from it. I think the toning is in contrast to the purpose of the image unless the birth of venus was a difficult thing. Not up on my myths. Interesting take non-the-less. 6 - good luck in the challenge.

it appears that the lower half of a baby is exploding skyward from a large conch shell.
