Nice photo! A straighter front wheel and a black surface would have made this look even more realistic than it already does.. Excellent composition.. 8

I wrote one for this picture earlier this morning, but I'm not sure what happened to it so I guess I'm doing it again.

Composition - Great line leading into the vase with the cheese grater thing. That was the first thing I saw when I looked at this pic. The best thing about this pic that I like is the color of the receptacle. I'm not sure I like the little table there. It looks like it could be a fuzz off the horizon. This is very simple but has some very good qualities that make it compositionally strong including the geometry and the way the utensils are silhouetted.

Technical - Well taken, as always. The one thing that gets my attention is the funky diagonal lines where the whisk wires meet the handle. Doesn't look like anything wrong that you did, but maybe it was the resizing of the picture didn't agree with it. Aside from that, everything else looks pretty darn good.

Overall - Simple, but well done. Excellent picture quality. Good lines and shapes. Like the framing and exposure. Nice work. Good luck in future challenges - BoB

Hi mag...

Anita certainly is a beautiful model and I always enjoy seeing the photos you produce of her.

I really do like the high key lighting on this shot. Her lipstick stands out in the brightness, so the exposure is perfect. The bright lighting gives her skin a beautiful and soft milky tone that looks like something I want to reach out and touch :) The wrinkled background also makes this photo quite inviting... The look in her eye.. the unbuttoned sweater... the theme is quite seductive and intriguing.

This shot, and all of your portrait work is excellent as usual... I don't feel qualified to really critique your photos. I like to use your portraits as examples by which I judge others...

Keep up the great work :)

This photo should have placed much higher! I don't understand how people could give it so many 1's, 2's and 3's, it's beyond me.

Anyhow, this is an excellent shot Mag.
