I do like the thought behind this, the OOF backround but still, it just doesn´t work this time to intrigue me, lacks something interesting, but by all means continue experiments like this.

Great shots and nice trytych. I would prefer the top L photo as the main one since you see his face better and he appearsto be the main subject. ALso it would help prevent the lines of her pants and his shirt on the bottom L photo and the main pic from lining up. Would have done well if it were just me voting :-)

really nice choice using bokeh to 'frame' the rather subtle subject 7

Greetings from the Critique Club.

Interesting image. As someone commented on already, it does seem to have a sort of 60s feel to it. Whether it's because of the thick black belt, that shade of pink in the background, or the tone of the almost doll-like skin... I've been trying to figure it out, and this was the closest I found to it: //www.uncrate.com/men/images/golden-age-ads-60s.jpg

I think the composition is interesting. The way the picture has been cropped seems to make the person look kind of non-human - the basics of the female form are there, but the skin looks smooth, the body looks plastic and artificial, you get the impression it could easily be a manequin in a shop window. Except not, because next you notice the detail of the skin, the hips, etc. The opposite happens with the vase - the belt emphasises the resemblance to female curves.

So yeah, successful objectification of a human and humanisation of an object - how twisted :)

Technical stuff is pretty good, the light on the skin is very nice. The only objection would be the light glare on shiny surfaces (probably solvable using a polarizing lens, or somehow playing around with the light sources).

No idea what PP you did, so can't really comment. Can't see anything wrong with it.

Totally random image. How odd. Seems to work though. Well done on the score and top 10 (and getting it in on time!)

Breath taking. I wish I would have had pictures like this when I was pregnant.

This is such a touching picture. It makes me remember my 3 pregnancies. Such a special time for me. I am blessed with 3 beautiful daughters. Wonderfully done.
