My wife uses a CPAP as well and used to have the same contraption. Now she just has a nasal canula that just seals off the nostrils and is much more comfortable for her to wear. I just can't call her 'Darth Vader" anymore.

Spooky up-lighting but it works well for this shot. Good tonality

Wonderful composition and colours - and the drops as the "finishing touch". Great...

6: This image has a sad feel to it with the chosen subject. The image itself has been processed nicely (I like the look of it). It neither shouts "wow" or has enough emotional feel to go over the 6 though.

Beautiful. Colors, editing, everything. I actually saw some of these this morning and was considering using them but am trying to avoid plants! Good thing I didn't, this shot would have put mine to shame.

The only thing I'm not sure about is if I like this rotation of it. But I'm only saying that because I always try to include a critique.
